PREEMPT_RCU without HOTPLUG_CPU is broken. The rcu_online_cpu is called
to initially populate rcu_cpu_online_map with all online CPUs when the
hotplug event handler is installed, and also to populate the map with
CPUs as they come online. The former case is meant to happen with and
without HOTPLUG_CPU, but without HOTPLUG_CPU, the rcu_offline_cpu
function is no-oped -- while it still gets called, it does not set the
rcu CPU map.
With a blank RCU CPU map, grace periods get to tick by completely
oblivious to active RCU read side critical sections. This results in
free-before-grace bugs.
Fix is obvious once the problem is known. (Also, change __devinit to
__cpuinit so the function gets thrown away on !HOTPLUG_CPU kernels).

In rcupreempt, rcu_batches_completed_bh is defined as a static inline in
the header file. This does not need to be exported, and not only that,
this breaks my PPC build.

* Modify sched_affinity functions to pass cpumask_t variables by reference
instead of by value.
* Use new set_cpus_allowed_ptr function.

This patch fixes a potentially invalid access to a per-CPU variable in
rcu_process_callbacks().
This per-CPU access needs to be done in such a way as to guarantee that
the code using it cannot move to some other CPU before all uses of the
value accessed have completed. Even though this code is currently only
invoked from softirq context, which currrently cannot migrate to some
other CPU, life would be better if this code did not silently make such
an assumption.

This fixes a oops encountered when doing hibernate/resume in presence of
PREEMPT_RCU.
The problem was that the code failed to disable preemption when
accessing a per-CPU variable. This is OK when called from code that
already has preemption disabled, but such is not the case from the
suspend/resume code path.

The PREEMPT-RCU can get stuck if a CPU goes idle and NO_HZ is set. The
idle CPU will not progress the RCU through its grace period and a
synchronize_rcu my get stuck. Without this patch I have a box that will
not boot when PREEMPT_RCU and NO_HZ are set. That same box boots fine
with this patch.
This patch comes from the -rt kernel where it has been tested for
several months.

This patch allows preemptible RCU to tolerate CPU-hotplug operations.
It accomplishes this by maintaining a local copy of a map of online
CPUs, which it accesses under its own lock.

This patch implements a new version of RCU which allows its read-side
critical sections to be preempted. It uses a set of counter pairs
to keep track of the read-side critical sections and flips them
when all tasks exit read-side critical section. The details
of this implementation can be found in this paper -
http://www.rdrop.com/users/paulmck/RCU/OLSrtRCU.2006.08.11a.pdf
and the article-
http://lwn.net/Articles/253651/
This patch was developed as a part of the -rt kernel development and
meant to provide better latencies when read-side critical sections of
RCU don't disable preemption. As a consequence of keeping track of RCU
readers, the readers have a slight overhead (optimizations in the paper).
This implementation co-exists with the "classic" RCU implementations
and can be switched to at compiler.
Also includes RCU tracing summarized in debugfs.
