Merge branch 'core-rcu-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull RCU changes from Ingo Molnar:
"SRCU changes:
- These include debugging aids, updates that move towards the goal of
permitting srcu_read_lock() and srcu_read_unlock() to be used from
idle and offline CPUs, and a few small fixes.
Changes to rcutorture and to RCU documentation:
- Posted to LKML at https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/1/26/188
Enhancements to uniprocessor handling in tiny RCU:
- Posted to LKML at https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/1/27/2
Tag RCU callbacks with grace-period number to simplify callback
advancement:
- Posted to LKML at https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/1/26/203
Miscellaneous fixes:
- Posted to LKML at https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/1/26/204"
