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 main RCU changes in this development cycle were: - Miscellaneous fixes, including a change to call_rcu()'s rcu_head alignment check. - Security-motivated list consistency checks, which are disabled by default behind DEBUG_LIST. - Torture-test updates. - Documentation updates, yet again just simple changes" * 'core-rcu-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: torture: Prevent jitter from delaying build-only runs torture: Remove obsolete files from rcutorture .gitignore rcu: Don't kick unless grace period or request rcu: Make expedited grace periods recheck dyntick idle state torture: Trace long read-side delays rcu: RCU_TRACE enables event tracing as well as debugfs rcu: Remove obsolete comment from __call_rcu() rcu: Remove obsolete rcu_check_callbacks() header comment rcu: Tighten up __call_rcu() rcu_head alignment check Documentation/RCU: Fix minor typo documentation: Present updated RCU guarantee bug: Avoid Kconfig warning for BUG_ON_DATA_CORRUPTION lib/Kconfig.debug: Fix typo in select statement lkdtm: Add tests for struct list corruption bug: Provide toggle for BUG on data corruption list: Split list_del() debug checking into separate function rculist: Consolidate DEBUG_LIST for list_add_rcu() list: Split list_add() debug checking into separate function
