    Merge branch 'core-rcu-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip · 4057adaf
    Linus Torvalds authored
    Pull RCU updates from Ingo Molnar:
    
     - updates to the handling of expedited grace periods
    
     - updates to reduce lock contention in the rcu_node combining tree
    
       [ These are in preparation for the consolidation of RCU-bh,
         RCU-preempt, and RCU-sched into a single flavor, which was
         requested by Linus in response to a security flaw whose root cause
         included confusion between the multiple flavors of RCU ]
    
     - torture-test updates that save their users some time and effort
    
     - miscellaneous fixes
