Subject: [PATCH tip/core/rcu 0/9] Documentation updates for 4.12

Hello!

This series provides documentation updates:

1.	Synchronous RCU grace periods are now legal throughout boot.

2.	Add mid-boot operation to expedited grace periods.

3.	Update stallwarn.txt to make causes more prominent.

4.	Update RCU data-structure documentation for rcu_segcblist.
	(Corresponding code changes are in the SRCU series.)

5.	Update requirements based on recent changes.

6.	doc: Update rcu_assign_pointer() definition in whatisRCU.txt.

7.	Update the comparisons rule in rcu_dereference.txt, courtesy
	of Michalis Kokologiannakis.

8.	Emphasize that "toy" RCU requires recursive rwlock.

9.	Update control-dependencies section of memory-barriers.txt,
	courtesy of pierre Kuo.

							Thanx, Paul
