Merge tag 'rcu.2025.09.26a' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rcu/linux

Pull RCU updates from Paul McKenney:
 "Documentation updates:

   - Update whatisRCU.rst and checklist.rst for recent RCU API additions

   - Fix RCU documentation formatting and typos

   - Replace dead Ottawa Linux Symposium links in RTFP.txt

  Miscellaneous RCU updates:

   - Document that rcu_barrier() hurries RCU_LAZY callbacks

   - Remove redundant interrupt disabling from
     rcu_preempt_deferred_qs_handler()

   - Move list_for_each_rcu from list.h to rculist.h, and adjust the
     include directive in kernel/cgroup/dmem.c accordingly

   - Make initial set of changes to accommodate upcoming
     system_percpu_wq changes

  SRCU updates:

   - Create an srcu_read_lock_fast_notrace() for eventual use in
     tracing, including adding guards

   - Document the reliance on per-CPU operations as implicit RCU readers
     in __srcu_read_{,un}lock_fast()

   - Document the srcu_flip() function's memory-barrier D's relationship
     to SRCU-fast readers

   - Remove a redundant preempt_disable() and preempt_enable() pair from
     srcu_gp_start_if_needed()

  Torture-test updates:

   - Fix jitter.sh spin time so that it actually varies as advertised.
     It is still quite coarse-grained, but at least it does now vary

   - Update torture.sh help text to include the not-so-new --do-normal
     parameter, which permits (for example) testing KCSAN kernels
     without doing non-debug kernels

   - Fix a number of false-positive diagnostics that were being
     triggered by rcutorture starting before boot completed. Running
     multiple near-CPU-bound rcutorture processes when there is only the
     boot CPU is after all a bit excessive

   - Substitute kcalloc() for kzalloc()

   - Remove a redundant kfree() and NULL out kfree()ed objects"
