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

Pull RCU updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "The main changes are:

   - 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.

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

   - Miscellaneous fixes.

   - 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"
