Merge branch 'core-rcu-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/linux-2.6-tip
* 'core-rcu-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/linux-2.6-tip: (28 commits)
rcu: Move end of special early-boot RCU operation earlier
rcu: Changes from reviews: avoid casts, fix/add warnings, improve comments
rcu: Create rcutree plugins to handle hotplug CPU for multi-level trees
rcu: Remove lockdep annotations from RCU's _notrace() API members
rcu: Add #ifdef to suppress __rcu_offline_cpu() warning in !HOTPLUG_CPU builds
rcu: Add CPU-offline processing for single-node configurations
rcu: Add "notrace" to RCU function headers used by ftrace
rcu: Remove CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU
rcu: Merge preemptable-RCU functionality into hierarchical RCU
rcu: Simplify rcu_pending()/rcu_check_callbacks() API
rcu: Use debugfs_remove_recursive() simplify code.
rcu: Merge per-RCU-flavor initialization into pre-existing macro
rcu: Fix online/offline indication for rcudata.csv trace file
rcu: Consolidate sparse and lockdep declarations in include/linux/rcupdate.h
rcu: Renamings to increase RCU clarity
rcu: Move private definitions from include/linux/rcutree.h to kernel/rcutree.h
rcu: Expunge lingering references to CONFIG_CLASSIC_RCU, optimize on !SMP
rcu: Delay rcu_barrier() wait until beginning of next CPU-hotunplug operation.
rcu: Fix typo in rcu_irq_exit() comment header
rcu: Make rcupreempt_trace.c look at offline CPUs
