I have merged these into v3.11-rc3 in my local tree like this: # git log --pretty=oneline v3.11-rc3.. a6f8eb9e4c18ba0e9a2ed4d2dec888440da12549 Merge branch 'ftrace/rcu-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace into rostedt.2013.08.02a f7f7bac9cb1c50783f15937a11743655a5756a36 rcu: Have the RCU tracepoints use the tracepoint_string infrastructure a41bfeb2f8ed59410be7ca0f8fbc6138a758b746 rcu: Simplify RCU_STATE_INITIALIZER() macro e66c33d579ea566d10e8c8695a7168aae3e02992 rcu: Add const annotation to char * for RCU tracepoints and functions 102c9323c35a83789ad5ebd3c45fa8fb389add88 tracing: Add __tracepoint_string() to export string pointers Amazingly enough, there is only one trivial conflict with the current 3.12 RCU commits, so my plan is to treat these commits as a separate topic branch for RCU.
