    Merge branch 'core-rcu-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip · 1ae78780
    Linus Torvalds authored
    Pull RCU updates from Ingo Molnar:
     "The main changes in this cycle were:
    
       - Dynamic tick (nohz) updates, perhaps most notably changes to force
         the tick on when needed due to lengthy in-kernel execution on CPUs
         on which RCU is waiting.
    
       - Linux-kernel memory consistency model updates.
    
       - Replace rcu_swap_protected() with rcu_prepace_pointer().
    
       - Torture-test updates.
    
       - Documentation updates.
    
       - Miscellaneous fixes"
