This commit is the third step towards full abstraction of all accesses to the ->dynticks counter, implementing the previously open-coded atomic add of 1 and entry checks in a new rcu_dynticks_eqs_enter() function, and the same but with exit checks in a new rcu_dynticks_eqs_exit() function. This abstraction will ease changes to the ->dynticks counter operation. Note that this commit gets rid of the smp_mb__before_atomic() and the smp_mb__after_atomic() calls that were previously present. The reason that this is OK from a memory-ordering perspective is that the atomic operation is now atomic_add_return(), which, as a value-returning atomic, guarantees full ordering.

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.
