[PATCH 17/20] rcu/context-tracking: Remove unused and/or unecessary middle functions

Frederic Weisbecker
2022-06-28T13:19:15Z

Some eqs functions are now only used internally by context tracking, so
their public declarations can be removed.

Also middle functions such as rcu_user_*() and rcu_idle_*()
which now directly call to rcu_eqs_enter() and rcu_eqs_exit() can be
wiped out as well.
