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 subsystem changes in this cycle were:
- Miscellaneous fixes, perhaps most notably removing obsolete code
whose only purpose in life was to gather information for the
now-removed RCU debugfs facility. Other notable changes include
removing NO_HZ_FULL_ALL in favor of the nohz_full kernel boot
parameter, minor optimizations for expedited grace periods, some
added tracing, creating an RCU-specific workqueue using Tejun's new
WQ_MEM_RECLAIM flag, and several cleanups to code and comments.
- SRCU cleanups and optimizations.
- Torture-test updates, perhaps most notably the adding of ARMv8
support, but also including numerous cleanups and usability fixes"

Note that this means that your system must have at least two CPUs in order for CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL=y to do anything for you. -Alternatively, the CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL_ALL=y Kconfig parameter specifies -that all CPUs other than the boot CPU are adaptive-ticks CPUs. This -Kconfig parameter will be overridden by the "nohz_full=" boot parameter, -so that if both the CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL_ALL=y Kconfig parameter and -the "nohz_full=1" boot parameter is specified, the boot parameter will -prevail so that only CPU 1 will be an adaptive-ticks CPU. - Finally, adaptive-ticks CPUs must have their RCU callbacks offloaded.
