Merge tag 'rcu.release.v7.2' of gitolite.kernel.org:pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rcu/linux
Pull RCU updates from Uladzislau Rezki: "Torture test updates: - Improve kvm-series.sh script by adding examples in its header comment - Lazy RCU is more fully tested now by replacing call_rcu_hurry() with call_rcu() and doing rcu_barrier() to motivate lazy callbacks during a stutter pause - Add more synonyms for the "--do-normal" group of torture.sh command-line arguments Misc changes: - Reduce stack usage of nocb_gp_wait() to address frame size warning when built with CONFIG_UBSAN_ALIGNMENT - The synchronize_rcu() call can detect the flood and latches a normal/default path temporary switching to wait_rcu_gp() path - Document using rcu_access_pointer() to fetch the old pointer for lockless cmpxchg() updates - Simplify some RCU code using clamp_val() - Fix a kerneldoc header comment typo in srcu_down_read_fast()" * tag 'rcu.release.v7.2' of gitolite.kernel.org:pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rcu/linux: rcu/nocb: reduce stack usage in nocb_gp_wait() rcu-tasks: Fix possible boot-time tests failed for the call_rcu_tasks() rcu: Latch normal synchronize_rcu() path on flood rcu: Document rcu_access_pointer() feeding into cmpxchg() rcu: Simplify param_set_next_fqs_jiffies() by applying clamp_val() rcu: Simplify rcu_do_batch() by applying clamp() checkpatch: Undeprecate rcu_read_lock_trace() and rcu_read_unlock_trace() srcu: Fix kerneldoc header comment typo in srcu_down_read_fast() torture: Allow "norm" abbreviation for "normal" torture: Improve kvm-series.sh header comment torture: Add torture_sched_set_normal() for user-specified nice values rcutorture: Fully test lazy RCU
