Merge branch 'core-rcu-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull RCU updates from Ingo Molnar:
"The biggest RCU changes in this cycle were:
- Convert RCU's BUG_ON() and similar calls to WARN_ON() and similar.
- Replace calls of RCU-bh and RCU-sched update-side functions to
their vanilla RCU counterparts. This series is a step towards
complete removal of the RCU-bh and RCU-sched update-side functions.
( Note that some of these conversions are going upstream via their
respective maintainers. )
- Documentation updates, including a number of flavor-consolidation
updates from Joel Fernandes.
- Miscellaneous fixes.
- Automate generation of the initrd filesystem used for rcutorture
testing.
- Convert spin_is_locked() assertions to instead use lockdep.
( Note that some of these conversions are going upstream via their
respective maintainers. )
- SRCU updates, especially including a fix from Dennis Krein for a
bag-on-head-class bug.
- RCU torture-test updates"
