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
