This commit pushes the grace-period-end checks further down into rcu_dump_cpu_stacks(), and also uses lockless checks coupled with finer-grained locking. The result is that the current leaf rcu_node structure's ->lock is acquired only if a stack backtrace might be needed from the current CPU, and is held across only that CPU's backtrace. As a result, if there are no stalled CPUs associated with a given rcu_node structure, then its ->lock will not be acquired at all. On large systems, it is usually (though not always) the case that a small number of CPUs are stalling the current grace period, which means that the ->lock need be acquired only for a small fraction of the rcu_node structures.

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.
