Merge branch 'for-mingo' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulmck/linux-rcu into core/rcu Pull RCU updates from Paul E. McKenney: - An optimization and a fix for RCU expedited grace periods, with the fix being from Boqun Feng. - Miscellaneous fixes, including a lockdep-annotation fix from Boqun Feng. - SRCU updates. - Updates to rcutorture and associated scripting. - 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. - Additional miscellaneous fixes, including those contributed by Byungchul Park, Mauro Carvalho Chehab, Joe Perches, Joel Fernandes, Steven Rostedt, Andrea Parri, and Neil Brown. - Additional torture-test changes, including several contributed by Arnd Bergmann and Joel Fernandes.
