Merge branch 'for-mingo' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulmck/linux-rcu into core/rcu

Pull RCU updates from Paul E. McKenney:

- Documentation updates.

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

- Miscellaneous fixes.

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

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

Note: ARM support is lagging a bit here, and these improved
diagnostics might generate (harmless) splats.

- NO_HZ_FULL_SYSIDLE fixes.

- Tiny RCU updates to make it more tiny.

 CONTROL DEPENDENCIES

 However, stores are not speculated.  This means that ordering -is- provided

 When dealing with CPU-CPU interactions, certain types of memory barrier should
 always be paired.  A lack of appropriate pairing is almost certainly an error.
 
-General barriers pair with each other, though they also pair with
-most other types of barriers, albeit without transitivity.  An acquire
-barrier pairs with a release barrier, but both may also pair with other
-barriers, including of course general barriers.  A write barrier pairs
-with a data dependency barrier, an acquire barrier, a release barrier,
-a read barrier, or a general barrier.  Similarly a read barrier or a
-data dependency barrier pairs with a write barrier, an acquire barrier,
-a release barrier, or a general barrier:
