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: - Miscellaneous fixes, perhaps most notably removing obsolete code whose only purpose in life was to gather information for the now-removed RCU debugfs facility. Other notable changes include removing NO_HZ_FULL_ALL in favor of the nohz_full kernel boot parameter, minor optimizations for expedited grace periods, some added tracing, creating an RCU-specific workqueue using Tejun's new WQ_MEM_RECLAIM flag, and several cleanups to code and comments. - SRCU cleanups and optimizations. - Torture-test updates, perhaps most notably the adding of ARMv8 support, but also including numerous cleanups and usability fixes. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>

this means that your system must have at least two CPUs in order for
CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL=y to do anything for you.
-Alternatively, the CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL_ALL=y Kconfig parameter specifies
-that all CPUs other than the boot CPU are adaptive-ticks CPUs. This
-Kconfig parameter will be overridden by the "nohz_full=" boot parameter,
-so that if both the CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL_ALL=y Kconfig parameter and
-the "nohz_full=1" boot parameter is specified, the boot parameter will
-prevail so that only CPU 1 will be an adaptive-ticks CPU.

Finally, adaptive-ticks CPUs must have their RCU callbacks offloaded.
This is covered in the "RCU IMPLICATIONS" section below.
