Merge branch 'rcu/urgent' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulmck/linux-rcu
Pull RCU fixes from Paul McKenney:
"I must confess that this past merge window was not RCU's best showing.
This series contains three more fixes for RCU regressions:
1. A fix to __DECLARE_TRACE_RCU() that causes it to act as an
interrupt from idle rather than as a task switch from idle.
This change is needed due to the recent use of _rcuidle()
tracepoints that can be invoked from interrupt handlers as well
as from idle. Without this fix, invoking _rcuidle() tracepoints
from interrupt handlers results in splats and (more seriously)
confusion on RCU's part as to whether a given CPU is idle or not.
This confusion can in turn result in too-short grace periods and
therefore random memory corruption.
2. A fix to a subtle deadlock that could result due to RCU doing
a wakeup while holding one of its rcu_node structure's locks.
Although the probability of occurrence is low, it really
does happen. The fix, courtesy of Steven Rostedt, uses
irq_work_queue() to avoid the deadlock.
3. A fix to a silent deadlock (invisible to lockdep) due to the
interaction of timeouts posted by RCU debug code enabled by
CONFIG_PROVE_RCU_DELAY=y, grace-period initialization, and CPU
hotplug operations. This will not occur in production kernels,
but really does occur in randconfig testing. Diagnosis courtesy
of Steven Rostedt"
* 'rcu/urgent' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulmck/linux-rcu:
rcu: Fix deadlock with CPU hotplug, RCU GP init, and timer migration
rcu: Don't call wakeup() with rcu_node structure ->lock held
trace: Allow idle-safe tracepoints to be called from irq
