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

Pull RCU changes from Ingo Molnar:
 "Quoting from Paul, the major features of this series are:

  1. Preventing latency spikes of more than 200 microseconds for
     kernels built with NR_CPUS=4096, which is reportedly becoming the
     default for some distros.  This is a first step, as it does not
     help with systems that actually -have- 4096 CPUs (work on this case
     is in progress, but is not yet ready for mainline).

     This category also includes improving concurrency of rcu_barrier(),
     placed here due to conflicts.  Posted to LKML at:

      https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/6/22/381

     Note that patches 18-22 of that series have been defered to 3.7, as
     they have not yet proven themselves to be mainline-ready (and yes,
     these are the ones intended to get rid of RCU's latency spikes for
     systems that actually have 4096 CPUs).

  2. Updates to documentation and rcutorture fixes, the latter category
     including improvements to rcu_barrier() testing.  Posted to LKML at

  3. Miscellaneous fixes posted to LKML at:

     with the exception of the last commit, which was posted here:

  4. RCU_FAST_NO_HZ fixes and improvements.  Posted to LKML at:

      http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/linux/kernel/1561833

     The first four patches of the first series went into 3.5 to fix a
     regression.

  5. Code-style fixes.  These were posted to LKML at
