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

Pull RCU updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "A large update to RCU:

  Preparatory work for consolidating the RCU flavors:

   - Introduce grace-period sequence numbers to the RCU-bh, RCU-preempt,
     and RCU-sched flavors, replacing the old ->gpnum and ->completed
     pair of fields.

     This change allows lockless code to obtain the complete
     grace-period state with a single READ_ONCE(), which is needed to
     maintain tolerable lock contention during the upcoming
     consolidation of the three RCU flavors.

     Note that grace-period sequence numbers are already used by
     rcu_barrier(), expedited RCU grace periods, and SRCU, and are thus
     already heavily used and well-tested. Joel Fernandes contributed a
     number of excellent fixes and improvements.

   - Clean up some grace-period-reporting loose ends, including
     improving the handling of quiescent states from offline CPUs and
     fixing some false-positive WARN_ON_ONCE() invocations.

     (Strictly speaking, the WARN_ON_ONCE() invocations were quite
     correct, but their invariants were (harmlessly) violated by the
     earlier sloppy handling of quiescent states from offline CPUs.)

     In addition, improve grace-period forward-progress guarantees so as
     to allow removal of fail-safe checks that required otherwise
     needless lock acquisitions. Finally, add more diagnostics to help
     debug the upcoming consolidation of the RCU-bh, RCU-preempt, and
     RCU-sched flavors.

  The rest:

   - SRCU updates

   - Updates to rcutorture and associated scripting.

   - The usual pile of miscellaneous fixes"
