Merge tag 'core-rcu-2021-04-28' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

Pull RCU updates from Ingo Molnar:

 - Support for "N" as alias for last bit in bitmap parsing library (eg
   using syntax like "nohz_full=2-N")

 - kvfree_rcu updates

 - mm_dump_obj() updates. (One of these is to mm, but was suggested by
   Andrew Morton.)

 - RCU callback offloading update

 - Polling RCU grace-period interfaces

 - Realtime-related RCU updates

 - Tasks-RCU updates

 - Torture-test updates

 - Torture-test scripting updates

 - Miscellaneous fixes

 where the final item represents CPUs 100,101,125,126,150,151,...
 
+The value "N" can be used to represent the numerically last CPU on the system,
+i.e "foo_cpus=16-N" would be equivalent to "16-31" on a 32 core system.
+
+Keep in mind that "N" is dynamic, so if system changes cause the bitmap width
+to change, such as less cores in the CPU list, then N and any ranges using N
+will also change.  Use the same on a small 4 core system, and "16-N" becomes
+"16-3" and now the same boot input will be flagged as invalid (start > end).
