Paul E. McKenney a0eb22bf64 rcu: Reduce dyntick-idle state space
Both extended-quiescent-state entry and exit first update the nesting
counter and then adjust the dyntick-idle state.  This means that there
are four states: (1) Both nesting and dyntick idle indicate idle,
(2) Nesting indicates idle but dyntick idle does not, (3) Nesting indicates
non-idle and dyntick idle does not, and (4) Both nesting and dyntick
idle indicate non-idle.  This commit simplifies the state space by
eliminating #3, reversing the order of updates on exit from extended
quiescent state.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
