* 'core-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/linux-2.6-tip: rcu: Start RCU kthreads in TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE state rcu: Remove waitqueue usage for cpu, node, and boost kthreads rcu: Avoid acquiring rcu_node locks in timer functions atomic: Add atomic_or() Documentation: Add statistics about nested locks rcu: Decrease memory-barrier usage based on semi-formal proof rcu: Make rcu_enter_nohz() pay attention to nesting rcu: Don't do reschedule unless in irq rcu: Remove old memory barriers from rcu_process_callbacks() rcu: Add memory barriers rcu: Fix unpaired rcu_irq_enter() from locking selftests
