The rcu_data structure's ->core_needs_qs field does not necessarily get
cleared in a timely fashion after the corresponding CPUs' quiescent state
has been reported. From a functional viewpoint, no harm done, but this
can result in excessive invocation of RCU core processing, as witnessed
by the kernel test robot, which saw greatly increased softirq overhead.
This commit therefore restores the rcu_report_qs_rdp() function's
clearing of this field, but only when running on the corresponding CPU.
Cases where some other CPU reports the quiescent state (for example, on
behalf of an idle CPU) are handled by setting this field appropriately
within the __note_gp_changes() function's end-of-grace-period checks.
This handling is carried out regardless of whether the end of a grace
period actually happened, thus handling the case where a CPU goes non-idle
after a quiescent state is reported on its behalf, but before the grace
period ends. This fix also avoids cross-CPU updates to ->core_needs_qs,
While in the area, this commit changes the __note_gp_changes() need_gp
variable's name to need_qs because it is a quiescent state that is needed
from the CPU in question.

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.
