Back in the day, rcutorture was about the only thing that tested off-stack
CPU masks, but now any arm64 system with more than 256 CPUs tests it
full time. In fact, it is necessary to hack the kernel to prevent such
a system from testing off-stack CPU masks. This means that there is
no longer much point in rcutorture going out of its way to test this.
And given the differences in how CPUMASK_OFFSTACK is enabled in x86 and
arm64, rcutorture would need to go out of its way.
This commit therefore removes CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=y (and the
CONFIG_MAXSMP=y required to enable it on x86) from TREE01.

Now that the BOOTPARAM_HOTPLUG_CPU0 Kconfig option is in the process of
being removed, it is time to remove rcutorture's use of it.

There is now a BOOTPARAM_HOTPLUG_CPU0 Kconfig option that allows CPU 0
to be offlined on x86 systems. This commit therefore sets this option in
the TREE01 rcutorture scenario in order to regularly test this capability.

All of the uses of CONFIG_RCU_FAST_NO_HZ=y that I have seen involve
systems with RCU callbacks offloaded. In this situation, all that this
Kconfig option does is slow down idle entry/exit with an additional
allways-taken early exit. If this is the only use case, then this
Kconfig option nothing but an attractive nuisance that needs to go away.
This commit therefore removes the RCU_FAST_NO_HZ Kconfig option.

The CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU_ALL, CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU_NONE, and
CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU_ZERO Kconfig options are used only in testing and
are redundant with the rcu_nocbs= boot parameter. This commit therefore
removes these three Kconfig options and adjusts the rcutorture scripts
to use the boot parameter instead.

The RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_PREINIT, RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_PREINIT_DELAY,
RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_PREINIT_DELAY, RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_INIT,
RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_INIT_DELAY, RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_CLEANUP,
and RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_CLEANUP_DELAY Kconfig options are only
useful for torture testing, and there are the rcutree.gp_cleanup_delay,
rcutree.gp_init_delay, and rcutree.gp_preinit_delay kernel boot parameters
that rcutorture can use instead. The effect of these parameters is to
artificially slow down grace period initialization and cleanup in order
to make some types of race conditions happen more often.
This commit therefore simplifies Tree RCU a bit by removing the Kconfig
options and adding the corresponding kernel parameters to rcutorture's
.boot files instead. However, this commit also leaves out the kernel
parameters for TREE02, TREE04, and TREE07 in order to have about the
same number of tests slowed as not slowed. TREE01, TREE03, TREE05,
and TREE06 are slowed, and the rest are not slowed.

A number of the rcutorture test scenarios were not using the desired
Kconfig options because dependencies were preventing the selections in the
Kconfig-fragment files from being honored. This commit therefore updates
the Kconfig-fragment files to account for these changes in dependencies.

The CONFIG_RCU_CPU_STALL_INFO has been default-y for a couple of
releases with no complaints, so it is time to eliminate this Kconfig
option entirely, so that the long-form RCU CPU stall warnings cannot
be disabled. This commit does just that.

This commit causes the rcutorture scripts to force RCU_EXPERT so that
these scripts can cause rcutorture to torture RCU in the various required
configurations. However, SRCU-P, TASKS03, and TREE09 retain !RCU_EXPERT
in order to ensure testing of the vanilla configuration.

The CONFIG_RCU_CPU_STALL_VERBOSE Kconfig parameter causes preemptible
RCU's CPU stall warnings to dump out any preempted tasks that are blocking
the current RCU grace period. This information is useful, and the default
has been CONFIG_RCU_CPU_STALL_VERBOSE=y for some years. It is therefore
time for this commit to remove this Kconfig parameter, so that future
kernel builds will always act as if CONFIG_RCU_CPU_STALL_VERBOSE=y.

Setting CONFIG_MAXSMP=y causes cpumasks to be moved offstack, which
introduces the possibility of NULL cpumask_var_t pointers. This commit
therefore enables CONFIG_MAXSMP=y in TREE01 to increase test coverage.
However, because CONFIG_MAXSMP=y implies 8192 CPUs, we need to use
the maxcpus= boot parameter to limit the number of CPUs to something
reasonable, which in turn requires updating the scripts to handle this.

This commit uses the standard software ploy of introducing another
level of indirection below the configs directory. This allows each
torture-test suite to have its own set of Kconfig files, boot parameters,
and version-specific scripts. Initially, we have only rcu, but lock
will follow soonish.
