Merge branch 'core-rcu-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull RCU updates from Thomas Gleixner: "A large update to RCU: Preparatory work for consolidating the RCU flavors: - Introduce grace-period sequence numbers to the RCU-bh, RCU-preempt, and RCU-sched flavors, replacing the old ->gpnum and ->completed pair of fields. This change allows lockless code to obtain the complete grace-period state with a single READ_ONCE(), which is needed to maintain tolerable lock contention during the upcoming consolidation of the three RCU flavors. Note that grace-period sequence numbers are already used by rcu_barrier(), expedited RCU grace periods, and SRCU, and are thus already heavily used and well-tested. Joel Fernandes contributed a number of excellent fixes and improvements. - Clean up some grace-period-reporting loose ends, including improving the handling of quiescent states from offline CPUs and fixing some false-positive WARN_ON_ONCE() invocations. (Strictly speaking, the WARN_ON_ONCE() invocations were quite correct, but their invariants were (harmlessly) violated by the earlier sloppy handling of quiescent states from offline CPUs.) In addition, improve grace-period forward-progress guarantees so as to allow removal of fail-safe checks that required otherwise needless lock acquisitions. Finally, add more diagnostics to help debug the upcoming consolidation of the RCU-bh, RCU-preempt, and RCU-sched flavors. The rest: - SRCU updates - Updates to rcutorture and associated scripting. - The usual pile of miscellaneous fixes" * 'core-rcu-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (118 commits) rcutorture: Fix rcu_barrier successes counter rcutorture: Add support to detect if boost kthread prio is too low rcutorture: Use monotonic timestamp for stall detection rcutorture: Make boost test more robust rcutorture: Disable RT throttling for boost tests rcutorture: Emphasize testing of single reader protection type rcutorture: Handle extended read-side critical sections rcutorture: Make rcu_torture_timer() use rcu_torture_one_read() rcutorture: Use per-CPU random state for rcu_torture_timer() rcutorture: Use atomic increment for n_rcu_torture_timers rcutorture: Extract common code from rcu_torture_reader() rcuperf: Remove unused torturing_tasks() function rcu: Remove rcutorture test version and sequence number rcutorture: Change units of onoff_interval to jiffies rcu: Assign higher prio to RCU threads if rcutorture is built-in rculist: Improve documentation for list_for_each_entry_from_rcu() srcu: Add grace-period number to rcutorture statistics printout rcu: Print stall-warning NMI dyntick state in hexadecimal MAINTAINERS: Update RCU, SRCU, and TORTURE-TEST entries rcu: Make rcu_seq_diff() more exact ...
