Merge branch 'for-mingo' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulmck/linux-rcu into core/rcu
Pull RCU and LKMM changes from Paul E. McKenney:
- A few more RCU flavor consolidation cleanups.
- Miscellaneous fixes.
- Updates to RCU's list-traversal macros improving lockdep usability.
- Torture-test updates.
- Forward-progress improvements for no-CBs CPUs: Avoid ignoring
incoming callbacks during grace-period waits.
- Forward-progress improvements for no-CBs CPUs: Use ->cblist
structure to take advantage of others' grace periods.
- Also added a small commit that avoids needlessly inflicting
scheduler-clock ticks on callback-offloaded CPUs.
- Forward-progress improvements for no-CBs CPUs: Reduce contention
on ->nocb_lock guarding ->cblist.
- Forward-progress improvements for no-CBs CPUs: Add ->nocb_bypass
list to further reduce contention on ->nocb_lock guarding ->cblist.
- LKMM updates.
