Merge branch 'core-rcu-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull RCU updates from Ingo Molnar: "The main RCU changes in this cycle are: - Idle entry/exit changes, to throttle callback execution and other refinements to speed up kbuild, primarily to address performance issues located by Tibor Billes. - Grace-period related changes, primarily to aid in debugging, inspired by an -rt debugging session. - Code reorganization moving RCU's source files into its own kernel/rcu/ directory. - RCU documentation updates - Miscellaneous fixes. Note, the following commit: 5c889690aa08 mm: Place preemption point in do_mlockall() loop is identical to the commit already in your tree via email: 22356f447ceb mm: Place preemption point in do_mlockall() loop [ Your version of the changelog nicely demonstrates it how kernel oops messages should be trimmed properly :-/ ]" * 'core-rcu-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (30 commits) rcu: Move RCU-related source code to kernel/rcu directory rcu: Fix occurrence of "the the" in checklist.txt kthread: Add pointer to vmstat-avoidance patch rcu: Update stall-warning documentation rcu: Consistent rcu_is_watching() naming rcu: Change EXPORT_SYMBOL() to EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL() rcu: Is it safe to enter an RCU read-side critical section? rcu: Throttle invoke_rcu_core() invocations due to non-lazy callbacks rcu: Throttle rcu_try_advance_all_cbs() execution rcu: Remove redundant code from rcu_cleanup_after_idle() rcu: Fix CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU_ALL panic on machines with sparse CPU mask rcu: Avoid sparse warnings in rcu_nocb_wake trace event rcu: Track rcu_nocb_kthread()'s sleeping and awakening rcu: Distinguish between NOCB and non-NOCB rcu_callback trace events rcu: Add tracing for rcuo no-CBs CPU wakeup handshake rcu: Add tracing of normal (non-NOCB) grace-period requests rcu: Add tracing to rcu_gp_kthread() rcu: Flag lockless access to ->gp_flags with ACCESS_ONCE() rcu: Prevent spurious-wakeup DoS attack on rcu_gp_kthread() rcu: Improve grace-period start logic ...
