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 changes in this cycle were:

   - Adding transitivity uniformly to rcu_node structure ->lock
     acquisitions.  (This is implemented by the first two commits on top
     of v4.4-rc2 due to the pervasive nature of this change.)

   - Documentation updates, including RCU requirements.

   - Expedited grace-period changes.

   - Miscellaneous fixes.

   - Linked-list fixes, courtesy of KTSAN.

   - Torture-test updates.

   - Late-breaking fix to sysrq-generated crash.

  One thing I should note is that these pieces of documentation are
  fairly large files:

    .../RCU/Design/Requirements/Requirements.html      | 2897 ++++++++++++++++++++
    .../RCU/Design/Requirements/Requirements.htmlx     | 2741 ++++++++++++++++++

  and are written in HTML, not the usual .txt style.  I hope they are
  fine"

Paul McKenney explains the html docs:
 "For whatever it is worth, the reason for this unconventional choice
  was that attempts to do the diagrams in ASCII art failed miserably.

  And attempts to do ASCII art for the upcoming documentation of the
  data structures failed even more miserably"
