Subject: [GIT PULL] RCU changes for v4.17

Linus,

Please pull the latest core-rcu-for-linus git tree from:

   git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip.git core-rcu-for-linus

   # HEAD: c4fb5f37001514c0004d17b79cf74a499b9bc320 Merge branch 'for-mingo' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulmck/linux-rcu into core/rcu

The main RCU subsystem changes in this cycle were:

 - Miscellaneous fixes, perhaps most notably removing obsolete
   code whose only purpose in life was to gather information for
   the now-removed RCU debugfs facility.  Other notable changes
   include removing NO_HZ_FULL_ALL in favor of the nohz_full kernel
   boot parameter, minor optimizations for expedited grace periods,
   some added tracing, creating an RCU-specific workqueue using Tejun's
   new WQ_MEM_RECLAIM flag, and several cleanups to code and comments.

 - SRCU cleanups and optimizations.

 - Torture-test updates, perhaps most notably the adding of ARMv8
   support, but also including numerous cleanups and usability fixes.

 Thanks,

	Ingo
