Pull RCU updates from Paul E. McKenney:
- Documentation updates.
- Changes permitting use of call_rcu() and friends very early in
boot, for example, before rcu_init() is invoked.
- Miscellaneous fixes.
- Add in-kernel API to enable and disable expediting of normal RCU
grace periods.
- Improve RCU's handling of (hotplug-) outgoing CPUs.
Note: ARM support is lagging a bit here, and these improved
diagnostics might generate (harmless) splats.
- NO_HZ_FULL_SYSIDLE fixes.
- Tiny RCU updates to make it more tiny.

gen_kselftest_tar.sh tool generates kselftest tar archive. This tool
supports uncompressed tar, gz, bz, and xz compression formats and the
default compression format is gzip. This tool runs kselftest install
tool as its back-end.

The bulk of the selftests are actually below the powerpc sub directory.
This adds support for installing them, when on a powerpc machine, or if
ARCH and CROSS_COMPILE are set appropriately.
This is a little more complicated because of the sub directory structure
under powerpc, but much of the common logic in lib.mk is still used. The
net effect of the patch is still a reduction in code.

Several tests that rely on implicit build rules fail to build,
when invoked from the main Makefile kselftest target. These
failures are due to --no-builtin-rules and --no-builtin-variables
options set in the inherited MAKEFLAGS.
--no-builtin-rules eliminates the use of built-in implicit rules
and --no-builtin-variables is for not defining built-in variables.
These two options override the use of implicit rules resulting in
build failures. In addition, inherited LDFLAGS result in build
failures and there is no need to define LDFLAGS. Clear LDFLAGS
and MAKEFLAG when make is invoked from the main Makefile kselftest
target. Fixing this at selftests Makefile avoids changing the main
Makefile and keeps this change self contained at selftests level.

The goal is to verify vphn_unpack_associativity() parses VPHN numbers
correctly. We feed it with a variety of input values and compare with
expected results.
PAPR+ does not say much about VPHN parsing: I came up with a list of
tests that check many simple cases and some corner ones. I wouldn't
dare to say the list is exhaustive though.

The recent change to remove the vrX defines exposed the fact that we are
building the copyloops tests without altivec enabled. It depends on the
toolchain as to whether altivec is on by default or not, so it only
breaks on some toolchains. But we should always enable it.

As our various loops (copy, string, crypto etc) get more complicated,
we want to share implementations between userspace (eg glibc) and
the kernel. We also want to write userspace test harnesses to put
in tools/testing/selftest.
One gratuitous difference between userspace and the kernel is the
VMX register definitions - the kernel uses vrX whereas both gcc and
glibc use vX.
Change the kernel to match userspace.

This adds make install support to selftests. The basic usage is:
$ cd tools/testing/selftests
$ make install
That installs into tools/testing/selftests/install, which can then be
copied where ever necessary.
The install destination is also configurable using eg:
$ INSTALL_PATH=/mnt/selftests make install
The implementation uses two targets in the child makefiles. The first
"install" is expected to install all files into $(INSTALL_PATH).
The second, "emit_tests", is expected to emit the test instructions (ie.
bash script) on stdout. Separating this from install means the child
makefiles need no knowledge of the location of the test script.

This adds a Make include file which most selftests can then include to
get the run_tests logic.
On its own this has the advantage of some reduction in repetition, and
also means the pass/fail message is defined in fewer places.
However the key advantage is it will allow us to implement install very
simply in a subsequent patch.
The default implementation just executes each program in $(TEST_PROGS).
We use a variable to hold the default implementation of $(RUN_TESTS)
because that gives us a clean way to override it if necessary, ie. using
override. The mount, memory-hotplug and mqueue tests use that to provide
a different implementation.
Tests are not run via /bin/bash, so if they are scripts they must be
executable, we add a+x to several.

Adds the set-2038 test which sets the time to near-edge cases
like the start and end of the 32 bit epoch and checks that
time behaves properly. There is also a dangerous mode, which
lets the clock roll over past 2038 on 32bit systems, which
on some older kernels will cause system hangs.

This adds my clock skew estimation test from the timetest suite.
It measures the drift between CLOCK_MONOTONIC and CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW
and compares it with the current frequency value from adjtimex.
It sometimes can trigger false failures when ntpd isn't in a
steady state, but its a useful too when doing adjtimex testing.

The posix_timers.c test has a loop that tries to keep it in
kernel space, repeatedly calling brk(). However, it doesn't
check the return value, which causes warnings.
This patch adds a err value which captures the return value
and modifies the test so it will quit if a failure occurs.

On systems which don't implement sys_execveat(), this test produces a
lot of output.
Add a check at the beginning to see if the syscall is present, and if
not just note one error and return.
When we run on a system that doesn't implement the syscall we will get
ENOSYS back from the kernel, so change the logic that handles
__NR_execveat not being defined to also use ENOSYS rather than -ENOSYS.

Normal rcutorture checking overestimates grace periods somewhat due to
the fact that there is a delay from a grace-period request until the
start of the corresponding grace period and another delay from the end
of that grace period to notification of the requestor. This means that
rcutorture's detection of RCU bugs is less sensitive than it might be.
It turns out that rcutorture also checks the underlying grace-period
"completed" counter (displayed in Reader Batch output), which in theory
allows rcutorture to do exact checks. In practice, memory misordering
(by both compiler and CPU) can result in false positives. However,
experience on x86 shows that these false positives are quite rare,
occurring less than one time per 1,000 hours of testing. This commit
therefore does the exact checking, giving a warning if any Reader Batch
blows happen, and flagging an error if they happen more often than
once every three hours in long tests.
