There are now architectures for which all deep-idle and entry-exit functions are properly inlined or marked noinstr. Such architectures do not need synchronize_rcu_tasks_rude(), or will not once RCU Tasks has been modified to pay attention to idle tasks. This commit therefore allows a CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_NOINSTR_MARKINGS Kconfig option to turn synchronize_rcu_tasks_rude() into a no-op. To facilitate testing, kernels built by rcutorture scripting will enable RCU Tasks Trace even on systems that do not need it. [ paulmck: Apply Peter Zijlstra feedback. ] Signed-off-by: Paul E.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
