Merge branch 'for-mingo' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulmck/linux-rcu into core/rcu
Pull RCU updates from Paul E. McKenney:

 * Documentation updates, including fixes to the design-level
   requirements documentation and a fixed version of the design-level
   data-structure documentation.  These fixes include removing
   cartoons and getting rid of the html/htmlx duplication.

 * Further improvements to the new-age expedited grace periods.

 * Miscellaneous fixes.

 * Torture-test changes, including a new rcuperf module for measuring
   RCU grace-period performance and scalability, which is useful for
   the expedited-grace-period changes.

+	  This option provides a way to build the RCU performance tests
+	  directly into the kernel without them starting up at boot time.
+	  You can use /sys/module to manually override this setting.
+	  This /proc file is available only when the RCU performance
+	  tests have been built into the kernel.
+
+	  Say Y here if you want the RCU performance tests to start during
+	  boot (you probably don't).
+	  Say N here if you want the RCU performance tests to start only
+	  after being manually enabled via /sys/module.
