Subject: [GIT PULL] RCU updates for v4.20

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: d0346559a7c358a5328e1fa43135acc548c0f224 Merge branch 'for-mingo' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulmck/linux-rcu into core/rcu

The biggest change in this cycle is the conclusion of the big
"simplify RCU to two primary flavors" consolidation work - i.e.
there's a single RCU flavor for any kernel variant (PREEMPT and 
!PREEMPT):

    - Consolidate the RCU-bh, RCU-preempt, and RCU-sched flavors into
      a single flavor similar to RCU-sched in !PREEMPT kernels and
      into a single flavor similar to RCU-preempt (but also waiting
      on preempt-disabled sequences of code) in PREEMPT kernels.  This
      branch also includes a refactoring of rcu_{nmi,irq}_{enter,exit}()
      from Byungchul Park.
    
    - Now that there is only one RCU flavor in any given running kernel,
      the many "rsp" pointers are no longer required, and this cleanup
      series removes them.
    
    - This branch carries out additional cleanups made possible by
      the RCU flavor consolidation, including inlining how-trivial
      functions, updating comments and definitions, and removing
      now-unneeded rcutorture scenarios.
    
    - Now that there is only one flavor of RCU in any running kernel,
      there is also only on rcu_data structure per CPU.  This means
      that the rcu_dynticks structure can be merged into the rcu_data
      structure, a task taken on by this branch.  This branch also
      contains a -rt-related fix from Mike Galbraith.

There were also other updates:

    - Documentation updates, including some good-eye catches from
      Joel Fernandes.
    
    - SRCU updates, most notably changes enabling call_srcu() to be
      invoked very early in the boot sequence.
    
    - Torture-test updates, including some preliminary work towards
      making rcutorture better able to find problems that result in
      insufficient grace-period forward progress.
    
    - Initial changes to RCU to better promote forward progress of
      grace periods, including fixing a bug found by Marius Hillenbrand
      and David Woodhouse, with the fix suggested by Peter Zijlstra.
    
 Thanks,

	Ingo
