Merge branch 'core-rcu-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

Pull RCU updates from Ingo Molnar:

 - Continued initialization/Kconfig updates: hide most Kconfig options
   from unsuspecting users.

   There's now a single high level configuration option:

        *
        * RCU Subsystem
        *
        Make expert-level adjustments to RCU configuration (RCU_EXPERT) [N/y/?] (NEW)

   Which if answered in the negative, leaves us with a single
   interactive configuration option:

        Offload RCU callback processing from boot-selected CPUs (RCU_NOCB_CPU) [N/y/?] (NEW)

   All the rest of the RCU options are configured automatically.  Later
   on we'll remove this single leftover configuration option as well.

 - Remove all uses of RCU-protected array indexes: replace the
   rcu_[access|dereference]_index_check() APIs with READ_ONCE() and
   rcu_lockdep_assert()

 - RCU CPU-hotplug cleanups

 - Updates to Tiny RCU: a race fix and further code shrinkage.

 - RCU torture-testing updates: fixes, speedups, cleanups and
   documentation updates.

 - Miscellaneous fixes

 - Documentation updates
