+As always, this is once again split into "rcu" and "rcu_bh" portions.
+The fields are as follows:
+
+o	"np" is the number of times that __rcu_pending() has been invoked
+	for the corresponding flavor of RCU.
+
+o	"qsp" is the number of times that the RCU was waiting for a
+	quiescent state from this CPU.
+
+o	"cbr" is the number of times that this CPU had RCU callbacks
+	that had passed through a grace period, and were thus ready
+	to be invoked.
+
+o	"cng" is the number of times that this CPU needed another
+	grace period while RCU was idle.
+
+o	"gpc" is the number of times that an old grace period had
+	completed, but this CPU was not yet aware of it.
+
+o	"gps" is the number of times that a new grace period had started,
+	but this CPU was not yet aware of it.
+
+o	"nf" is the number of times that this CPU suspected that the
+	current grace period had run for too long, and thus needed to
+	be forced.
+
+	Please note that "forcing" consists of sending resched IPIs
+	to holdout CPUs.  If that CPU really still is in an old RCU
+	read-side critical section, then we really do have to wait for it.
+	The assumption behing "forcing" is that the CPU is not still in
+	an old RCU read-side critical section, but has not yet responded
+	for some other reason.
+
+o	"nn" is the number of times that this CPU needed nothing.  Alert
+	readers will note that the rcu "nn" number for a given CPU very
+	closely matches the rcu_bh "np" number for that same CPU.  This
+	is due to short-circuit evaluation in rcu_pending().
