This patch series updates documentation and rcutorture: 1. Update documentation to allow for the new call_srcu() and srcu_barrier() functions. 2. Fix ordering of the torture_ops list. 3. Make rcutorture actually test the new srcu_barrier() function. 4. Fix synchronization of the kthreads testing the various rcu_barrier() functions. 5. Fix an incorrect (and quite confusing) message in rcutorture. 6. Make rcutorture's fakewriters occasionally invoke the appropriate rcu_barrier() function so that we test concurrent rcu_barrier() calls.
