Ankur Arora 6090e60428 rcu: handle quiescent states for PREEMPT_RCU=n, PREEMPT_COUNT=y 
[ Upstream commit 83b28cfe79 ]

With PREEMPT_RCU=n, cond_resched() provides urgently needed quiescent
states for read-side critical sections via rcu_all_qs().
One reason why this was needed: lacking preempt-count, the tick
handler has no way of knowing whether it is executing in a
read-side critical section or not.

With (PREEMPT_LAZY=y, PREEMPT_DYNAMIC=n), we get (PREEMPT_COUNT=y,
PREEMPT_RCU=n). In this configuration cond_resched() is a stub and
does not provide quiescent states via rcu_all_qs().
(PREEMPT_RCU=y provides this information via rcu_read_unlock() and
its nesting counter.)

So, use the availability of preempt_count() to report quiescent states
in rcu_flavor_sched_clock_irq().

README 

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 Restructured Text 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.
