Merge branch 'core-rcu-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

Pull RCU changes from Ingo Molnar:

 0. 'idle RCU':

     Adds RCU APIs that allow non-idle tasks to enter RCU idle mode and
     provides x86 code to make use of them, allowing RCU to treat
     user-mode execution as an extended quiescent state when the new
     RCU_USER_QS kernel configuration parameter is specified.  (Work is
     in progress to port this to a few other architectures, but is not
     part of this series.)

 1.  A fix for a latent bug that has been in RCU ever since the addition
     of CPU stall warnings.  This bug results in false-positive stall
     warnings, but thus far only on embedded systems with severely
     cut-down userspace configurations.

 2.  Further reductions in latency spikes for huge systems, along with
     additional boot-time adaptation to the actual hardware.

     This is a large change, as it moves RCU grace-period initialization
     and cleanup, along with quiescent-state forcing, from softirq to a
     kthread.  However, it appears to be in quite good shape (famous
     last words).

 3.  Updates to documentation and rcutorture, the latter category
     including keeping statistics on CPU-hotplug latencies and fixing
     some initialization-time races.

 4.  CPU-hotplug fixes and improvements.

 5.  Idle-loop fixes that were omitted on an earlier submission.

 6.  Miscellaneous fixes and improvements

In certain RCU configurations new kernel threads will show up (rcu_bh,
rcu_sched), showing RCU processing overhead.
