    Merge branch 'rcu/urgent' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulmck/linux-rcu into core/urgent
    
    Merge RCU fixes from Paul E. McKenney:
    
     " This series has four patches, the major point of which is to eliminate
       some slowdowns (including boot-time slowdowns) resulting from some
       RCU_FAST_NO_HZ changes.  The issue with the changes is that posting timers
       from the idle loop has no effect if the CPU has entered dyntick-idle
       mode because the CPU has already computed its wakeup time, and posting
       a timer does not cause it to be recomputed.  The short-term fix is for
       RCU to precompute the timeout value so that the CPU's calculation is
       correct. "
