[GIT PULL rcu/next] RCU commits for 4.7

From: Paul E. McKenney
Date: Tue Apr 26 2016 - 12:41:52 EST


Hello, Ingo,

The changes in this series include:

1. 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.

http://lkml.kernel.org/g/20160412151755.GA22416@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

2. Further improvements to the new-age expedited grace periods.

http://lkml.kernel.org/g/20160412152906.GA23395@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

3. Miscellaneous fixes.

http://lkml.kernel.org/g/20160412150157.GA19367@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

4. 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.

http://lkml.kernel.org/g/20160412154332.GA24983@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

All of these changes have been subjected to 0day Test Robot and -next
testing, and are available in the git repository at:
