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

Pull RCU changes from Ingo Molnar:
 "The main changes in this cycle were:

   - changes permitting use of call_rcu() and friends very early in
     boot, for example, before rcu_init() is invoked.

   - add in-kernel API to enable and disable expediting of normal RCU
     grace periods.

   - improve RCU's handling of (hotplug-) outgoing CPUs.

   - NO_HZ_FULL_SYSIDLE fixes.

   - tiny-RCU updates to make it more tiny.

   - documentation updates.

   - miscellaneous fixes"
