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:

- An optimization and a fix for RCU expedited grace periods, with
  the fix being from Boqun Feng.

- Miscellaneous fixes, including a lockdep-annotation fix from
  Boqun Feng.

- SRCU updates.

- Updates to rcutorture and associated scripting.

- Introduce grace-period sequence numbers to the RCU-bh, RCU-preempt,
  and RCU-sched flavors, replacing the old ->gpnum and ->completed
  pair of fields.  This change allows lockless code to obtain the
  complete grace-period state with a single READ_ONCE(), which is
  needed to maintain tolerable lock contention during the upcoming
  consolidation of the three RCU flavors.  Note that grace-period
  sequence numbers are already used by rcu_barrier(), expedited
  RCU grace periods, and SRCU, and are thus already heavily used
  and well-tested.  Joel Fernandes contributed a number of excellent
  fixes and improvements.

- Clean up some grace-period-reporting loose ends, including
  improving the handling of quiescent states from offline CPUs
  and fixing some false-positive WARN_ON_ONCE() invocations.
  (Strictly speaking, the WARN_ON_ONCE() invocations were quite
  correct, but their invariants were (harmlessly) violated by the
  earlier sloppy handling of quiescent states from offline CPUs.)
  In addition, improve grace-period forward-progress guarantees so
  as to allow removal of fail-safe checks that required otherwise
  needless lock acquisitions.  Finally, add more diagnostics to
  help debug the upcoming consolidation of the RCU-bh, RCU-preempt,
  and RCU-sched flavors.

- Additional miscellaneous fixes, including those contributed by
  Byungchul Park, Mauro Carvalho Chehab, Joe Perches, Joel Fernandes,
  Steven Rostedt, Andrea Parri, and Neil Brown.

- Additional torture-test changes, including several contributed by
  Arnd Bergmann and Joel Fernandes.
