[PATCH 00/19] rcu/context-tracking: Merge RCU eqs-dynticks counter to context tracking

[Frederic Weisbecker]

This mixes up the RCU dynticks counter and the context tracking state
updates into a single atomic instruction. This may serve several
purposes:

1) Improve CPU isolation with deferring some disturbances until sensitive
   userspace workload completes and goes to the kernel. This can take
   several forms, for example smp_call_function_housekeeping() or
   on_each_housekeeping_cpu() to enqueue and execute work on all
   housekeeping CPUs. Then an atomic operation on ct->state can defer
   the work on nohz_full CPUs until they run in kernel (or IPI them
   if they are in kernel mode), see this proposal by Peter:
   https://lore.kernel.org/all/20210929151723.162004989@xxxxxxxxxxxxx/#r

2) Unearth sysidle (https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulmck/linux-rcu.git/commit/?h=sysidle.2017.05.11a&id=fe5ac724d81a3c7803e60c2232718f212f3f38d4)
   This feature allowed to shutdown the tick on the last housekeeping
   CPU once the rest of the system is fully idle. We needed some proper
   fully ordered context tracking for that.
