The rcu_access_pointer() macro does not consult lockdep by design because it is intended to be used outside of RCU read-side critical sections. This commit therefore makes a separate list for it in whatisRCU.rst. Similarly, RCU_LOCKDEP_WARN(), rcu_sleep_check(), and RCU_NONIDLE() do not do anything with pointer access. This commit therefore creates a separate utility-API list for them. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@kernel.org>
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.
