Merge branch 'core-rcu-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

Pull RCU changes for v3.4 from Ingo Molnar.  The major features of this
series are:

 - making RCU more aggressive about entering dyntick-idle mode in order
   to improve energy efficiency

 - converting a few more call_rcu()s to kfree_rcu()s

 - applying a number of rcutree fixes and cleanups to rcutiny

 - removing CONFIG_SMP #ifdefs from treercu

 - allowing RCU CPU stall times to be set via sysfs

 - adding CPU-stall capability to rcutorture

 - adding more RCU-abuse diagnostics

 - updating documentation

 - fixing yet more issues located by the still-ongoing top-to-bottom
   inspection of RCU, this time with a special focus on the CPU-hotplug
   code path.

* 'core-rcu-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (48 commits)
  rcu: Stop spurious warnings from synchronize_sched_expedited
  rcu: Hold off RCU_FAST_NO_HZ after timer posted
  rcu: Eliminate softirq-mediated RCU_FAST_NO_HZ idle-entry loop
  rcu: Add RCU_NONIDLE() for idle-loop RCU read-side critical sections
  rcu: Allow nesting of rcu_idle_enter() and rcu_idle_exit()
  rcu: Remove redundant check for rcu_head misalignment
  PTR_ERR should be called before its argument is cleared.
  rcu: Convert WARN_ON_ONCE() in rcu_lock_acquire() to lockdep
  rcu: Trace only after NULL-pointer check
  rcu: Call out dangers of expedited RCU primitives
  rcu: Rework detection of use of RCU by offline CPUs
  lockdep: Add CPU-idle/offline warning to lockdep-RCU splat
  rcu: No interrupt disabling for rcu_prepare_for_idle()
  rcu: Move synchronize_sched_expedited() to rcutree.c
  rcu: Check for illegal use of RCU from offlined CPUs
  rcu: Update stall-warning documentation
  rcu: Add CPU-stall capability to rcutorture
  rcu: Make documentation give more realistic rcutorture duration
  rcutorture: Permit holding off CPU-hotplug operations during boot
  rcu: Print scheduling-clock information on RCU CPU stall-warning messages

+ * DYNTICK_TASK_NEST_MASK defines a field of width DYNTICK_TASK_NEST_WIDTH

+ * The rest of the bits could in principle be used to count interrupts,

+ * field could incorrectly zero out the DYNTICK_TASK_NEST_MASK field.
+ * We therefore provide a two-bit guard field defined by DYNTICK_TASK_MASK
+ * that is set to DYNTICK_TASK_FLAG upon initial exit from idle.
+ * The DYNTICK_TASK_EXIT_IDLE value is thus the combined value used upon
+ * initial exit from idle.
