Pull RCU changes from Ingo Molnar:
0. 'idle RCU':
Adds RCU APIs that allow non-idle tasks to enter RCU idle mode and
provides x86 code to make use of them, allowing RCU to treat
user-mode execution as an extended quiescent state when the new
RCU_USER_QS kernel configuration parameter is specified. (Work is
in progress to port this to a few other architectures, but is not
part of this series.)
1. A fix for a latent bug that has been in RCU ever since the addition
of CPU stall warnings. This bug results in false-positive stall
warnings, but thus far only on embedded systems with severely
cut-down userspace configurations.
2. Further reductions in latency spikes for huge systems, along with
additional boot-time adaptation to the actual hardware.
This is a large change, as it moves RCU grace-period initialization
and cleanup, along with quiescent-state forcing, from softirq to a
kthread. However, it appears to be in quite good shape (famous
last words).
3. Updates to documentation and rcutorture, the latter category
including keeping statistics on CPU-hotplug latencies and fixing
some initialization-time races.
4. CPU-hotplug fixes and improvements.
5. Idle-loop fixes that were omitted on an earlier submission.
6. Miscellaneous fixes and improvements
In certain RCU configurations new kernel threads will show up (rcu_bh,
rcu_sched), showing RCU processing overhead.
