Paul E. McKenney e260be673a Preempt-RCU: implementation
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.

*
* When synchronize_rcu() is invoked on one CPU while other CPUs
* are within RCU read-side critical sections, then the
* synchronize_rcu() is guaranteed to block until after all the other
* CPUs exit their critical sections. Similarly, if call_rcu() is invoked
* on one CPU while other CPUs are within RCU read-side critical
* sections, invocation of the corresponding RCU callback is deferred
* until after the all the other CPUs exit their critical sections.
*
* Note, however, that RCU callbacks are permitted to run concurrently
* with RCU read-side critical sections. One way that this can happen
* is via the following sequence of events: (1) CPU 0 enters an RCU
* read-side critical section, (2) CPU 1 invokes call_rcu() to register
* an RCU callback, (3) CPU 0 exits the RCU read-side critical section,
* (4) CPU 2 enters a RCU read-side critical section, (5) the RCU
* callback is invoked. This is legal, because the RCU read-side critical
* section that was running concurrently with the call_rcu() (and which
* therefore might be referencing something that the corresponding RCU
* callback would free up) has completed before the corresponding
* RCU callback is invoked.
*
* RCU read-side critical sections may be nested. Any deferred actions
* will be deferred until the outermost RCU read-side critical section
* completes.
*
* It is illegal to block while in an RCU read-side critical section.
