These patches clean up the usage of dynticks nesting counters simplifying the code, while preserving the usecases.
It is a much needed simplification, makes the code less confusing, and prevents future bugs such as those that arise from forgetting that the dynticks_nmi_nesting counter is not a simple counter and can be "crowbarred" in common situations.
rcutorture testing with all TREE RCU configurations succeed with CONFIG_RCU_EQS_DEBUG=y and CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING=y.
v1->v2: - Rebase on v5.6-rc6
v2->v3: - Rebase on rcu/dev with adjustments for tasks-RCU.
Joel Fernandes (Google) (4): Revert b8c17e6664c4 ("rcu: Maintain special bits at bottom of ->dynticks counter") rcu/tree: Add better tracing for dyntick-idle rcu/tree: Clean up dynticks counter usage rcu/tree: Remove dynticks_nmi_nesting counter
Madhuparna Bhowmik (1): trace: events: rcu: Change description of rcu_dyntick trace event
