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 changes in this cycle were:
- Expedited grace-period changes, most notably avoiding having user
threads drive expedited grace periods, using a workqueue instead.
- Miscellaneous fixes, including a performance fix for lists that was
sent with the lists modifications.
- CPU hotplug updates, most notably providing exact CPU-online
tracking for RCU. This will in turn allow removal of the checks
supporting RCU's prior heuristic that was based on the assumption
that CPUs would take no longer than one jiffy to come online.
- Torture-test updates.
- Documentation updates"
