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. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>
