The call_srcu() docbook entry is currently in include/linux/srcu.h,
which causes needless processing for each include point. This commit
therefore moves this entry to kernel/rcu/srcutree.c, which the compiler
reads only once. In addition, the srcu_batches_completed() function is
used only within RCU and its torture-test suites. This commit therefore
also moves this function's declaration from include/linux/srcutiny.h,
include/linux/srcutree.h, and include/linux/srcuclassic.h to
kernel/rcu/rcu.h.

If a given CPU never happens to ever start an SRCU grace period, the
grace-period sequence counter might wrap. If this CPU were to decide to
finally start a grace period, the state of its sdp->srcu_gp_seq_needed
might make it appear that it has already requested this grace period,
which would prevent starting the grace period. If no other CPU ever started
a grace period again, this would look like a grace-period hang. Even
if some other CPU took pity and started the needed grace period, the
leaf rcu_node structure's ->srcu_data_have_cbs field won't have record
of the fact that this CPU has a callback pending, which would look like
a very localized grace-period hang.
This might seem very unlikely, but SRCU grace periods can take less than
a microsecond on small systems, which means that overflow can happen
in much less than an hour on a 32-bit embedded system. And embedded
systems are especially likely to have long-term idle CPUs. Therefore,
it makes sense to prevent this scenario from happening.
This commit therefore scans each srcu_data structure occasionally,
with frequency controlled by the srcutree.counter_wrap_check kernel
boot parameter. This parameter can be set to something like 255
in order to exercise the counter-wrap-prevention code.

be externally visible, which is why they live in include/linux.

Currently, doing synchronize_rcu_mult(call_rcu, call_rcu) might
(or might not) wait for two RCU grace periods. One approach is
of course "don't do that!", but in CONFIG_PREEMPT=n kernels,
synchronize_rcu_mult(call_rcu, call_rcu_sched) does exactly that.
This results in an ugly #ifdef in sched_cpu_deactivate().
This commit therefore makes __wait_rcu_gp() check for duplicates,
which in turn allows duplicates to be passed to synchronize_rcu_mult()
without risk of waiting twice on the same type of grace period.

There was a time when the expedited grace-period primitives
(synchronize_rcu_expedited(), synchronize_rcu_bh_expedited(), and

facilities like try_stop_cpus(). However, they have since been
housebroken to use only single-CPU IPIs, and typically cause less
disturbance than a scheduling-clock interrupt. Furthermore, this
