This commit adds srcu_read_{,un}lock_fast(), which is similar
to srcu_read_{,un}lock_lite(), but avoids the array-indexing and
pointer-following overhead. On a microbenchmark featuring tight
loops around empty readers, this results in about a 20% speedup
compared to RCU Tasks Trace on my x86 laptop.
Please note that SRCU-fast has drawbacks compared to RCU Tasks
Trace, including:
o Lack of CPU stall warnings.
o SRCU-fast readers permitted only where rcu_is_watching().
o A pointer-sized return value from srcu_read_lock_fast() must
be passed to the corresponding srcu_read_unlock_fast().
o In the absence of readers, a synchronize_srcu() having _fast()
readers will incur the latency of at least two normal RCU grace
periods.
o RCU Tasks Trace priority boosting could be easily added.
Boosting SRCU readers is more difficult.
SRCU-fast also has a drawback compared to SRCU-lite, namely that the
return value from srcu_read_lock_fast()-fast is a 64-bit pointer and
that from srcu_read_lock_lite() is only a 32-bit int.

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 reStructuredText 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.
