* 'core-rcu-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (45 commits)
  rcu: Move propagation of ->completed from rcu_start_gp() to rcu_report_qs_rsp()
  rcu: Remove rcu_needs_cpu_flush() to avoid false quiescent states
  rcu: Wire up RCU_BOOST_PRIO for rcutree
  rcu: Make rcu_torture_boost() exit loops at end of test
  rcu: Make rcu_torture_fqs() exit loops at end of test
  rcu: Permit rt_mutex_unlock() with irqs disabled
  rcu: Avoid having just-onlined CPU resched itself when RCU is idle
  rcu: Suppress NMI backtraces when stall ends before dump
  rcu: Prohibit grace periods during early boot
  rcu: Simplify unboosting checks
  rcu: Prevent early boot set_need_resched() from __rcu_pending()
  rcu: Dump local stack if cannot dump all CPUs' stacks
  rcu: Move __rcu_read_unlock()'s barrier() within if-statement
  rcu: Improve rcu_assign_pointer() and RCU_INIT_POINTER() documentation
  rcu: Make rcu_assign_pointer() unconditionally insert a memory barrier
  rcu: Make rcu_implicit_dynticks_qs() locals be correct size
  rcu: Eliminate in_irq() checks in rcu_enter_nohz()
  nohz: Remove nohz_cpu_mask
  rcu: Document interpretation of RCU-lockdep splats
  rcu: Allow rcutorture's stat_interval parameter to be changed at runtime
