There are 4 RCU articles that are written on html format.
The way they are, they can't be part of the Linux Kernel
documentation body nor share the styles and pdf output.
So, convert them to ReST format.
This way, make htmldocs and make pdfdocs will produce a
documentation output that will be like the original ones, but
will be part of the Linux Kernel documentation body.
Part of the conversion was done with the help of pandoc, but
the result had some broken things that had to be manually
fixed.
Following are manual changes Mauro made when doing the automatic conversion:

Commit bb73c52bad ("rcu: Don't disable preemption for Tiny and Tree
RCU readers") removed the barrier() calls from rcu_read_lock() and
rcu_write_lock() in CONFIG_PREEMPT=n&&CONFIG_PREEMPT_COUNT=n kernels.
Within RCU, this commit was OK, but it failed to account for things like
get_user() that can pagefault and that can be reordered by the compiler.
Lack of the barrier() calls in rcu_read_lock() and rcu_read_unlock()
can cause these page faults to migrate into RCU read-side critical
sections, which in CONFIG_PREEMPT=n kernels could result in too-short
grace periods and arbitrary misbehavior. Please see commit 386afc9114
("spinlocks and preemption points need to be at least compiler barriers")
and Linus's commit 66be4e66a7 ("rcu: locking and unlocking need to
always be at least barriers"), this last of which restores the barrier()
call to both rcu_read_lock() and rcu_read_unlock().
This commit removes barrier() calls that are no longer needed given that
the addition of them in Linus's commit noted above. The combination of
this commit and Linus's commit effectively reverts commit bb73c52bad
("rcu: Don't disable preemption for Tiny and Tree RCU readers").

Although the name rcu_process_callbacks() still makes sense for Tiny
RCU, where most of what it does is invoke callbacks, it no longer makes
much sense for Tree RCU, especially given that the actually callback
invocation is relegated to rcu_do_batch(), or, for no-CBs CPUs, to the
rcuo kthreads. Especially in the latter case, rcu_process_callbacks()
has very little to do with actual callbacks. A better description of
this function is that it performs RCU's core processing.
This commit therefore changes the name of Tree RCU's rcu_process_callbacks()
function to rcu_core(), which also has the virtue of being consistent with
the existing invoke_rcu_core() function.
While in the area, the header comment is reworked.
Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.ibm.com>
The name rcu_check_callbacks() arguably made sense back in the early
2000s when RCU was quite a bit simpler than it is today, but it has
become quite misleading, especially with the advent of dyntick-idle
and NO_HZ_FULL. The rcu_check_callbacks() function is RCU's hook into
the scheduling-clock interrupt, and is now but one of many ways that
callbacks get promoted to invocable state.
This commit therefore changes the name to rcu_sched_clock_irq(),
which is the same number of characters and clearly indicates this
function's relation to the rest of the Linux kernel. In addition, for
the sake of consistency, rcu_flavor_check_callbacks() is also renamed
to rcu_flavor_sched_clock_irq().
While in the area, the header comments for both functions are reworked.

SRCU's synchronize_srcu() may not be invoked from CPU-hotplug notifiers,
due to the fact that SRCU grace periods make use of timers and the
possibility of timers being temporarily stranded on the outgoing CPU.
This stranding of timers means that timers posted to the outgoing CPU
will not fire until late in the CPU-hotplug process. The problem is
that if a notifier is waiting on an SRCU grace period, that grace period
is waiting on a timer, and that timer is stranded on the outgoing CPU,
then the notifier will never be awakened, in other words, deadlock has
occurred. This same situation of course also prohibits srcu_barrier()
from being invoked from CPU-hotplug notifiers.
This commit therefore updates the requirements to include this restriction.

Back when there were multiple flavors of RCU, it was necessary to
separately count lazy and non-lazy callbacks for each CPU. These counts
were used in CONFIG_RCU_FAST_NO_HZ kernels to determine how long a newly
idle CPU should be allowed to sleep before handling its RCU callbacks.
But now that there is only one flavor, the callback counts for a given
CPU's sole rcu_data structure are the counts for that CPU.
This commit therefore removes the rcu_data structure's ->nonlazy_posted
and ->nonlazy_posted_snap fields, the rcu_idle_count_callbacks_posted()
and rcu_cpu_has_callbacks() functions, repurposes the rcu_data structure's
->all_lazy field to record the laziness state at the beginning of the
latest idle sojourn, and modifies CONFIG_RCU_FAST_NO_HZ RCU CPU stall
warnings accordingly.

Back when there could be multiple RCU flavors running in the same kernel
at the same time, it was necessary to specify the expedited grace-period
IPI handler at runtime. Now that there is only one RCU flavor, the
IPI handler can be determined at build time. There is therefore no
longer any reason for the RCU-preempt and RCU-sched IPI handlers to
have different names, nor is there any reason to pass these handlers in
function arguments and in the data structures enclosing workqueues.
This commit therefore makes all these changes, pushing the specification
of the expedited grace-period IPI handler down to the point of use.

Given RCU flavor consolidation, when rcu_read_unlock() is invoked with
interrupts disabled, the reporting of the corresponding quiescent state is
deferred until interrupts are re-enabled. There was therefore some hope
that this would allow dropping the restriction against holding scheduler
spinlocks across an rcu_read_unlock() without disabling interrupts across
the entire corresponding RCU read-side critical section. Unfortunately,
the need to quickly provide a quiescent state to expedited grace periods
sometimes requires a call to raise_softirq() during rcu_read_unlock()
execution. Because raise_softirq() can sometimes acquire the scheduler
spinlocks, the restriction must remain in effect. This commit therefore
updates the RCU requirements documentation accordingly.
