    Linus Torvalds authored
    Pull RCU updates from Paul McKenney:
    
     - Documentation updates
    
     - Miscellaneous fixes, perhaps most notably simplifying
       SRCU_NOTIFIER_INIT() as suggested
    
     - RCU Tasks updates, most notably treating Tasks RCU callbacks as lazy
       while still treating synchronous grace periods as urgent. Also fixes
       one bug that restores the ability to apply debug-objects to RCU Tasks
       and another that fixes a race condition that could result in
       false-positive failures of the boot-time self-test code
    
     - RCU-scalability performance-test updates, most notably adding the
       ability to measure the RCU-Tasks's grace-period kthread's CPU
       consumption. This proved quite useful for the RCU Tasks work
    
     - Reference-acquisition/release performance-test updates, including a
       fix for an uninitialized wait_queue_head_t
    
     - Miscellaneous torture-test updates
    
     - Torture-test scripting updates, including removal of the
       non-longer-functional formal-verification scripts, test builds of
       individual RCU Tasks flavors, better diagnostics for loss of
       connectivity for distributed rcutorture tests, disabling of reboot
       loops in qemu/KVM-based rcutorture testing, and passing of init
       parameters to rcutorture's init program
