[PATCH tip/core/rcu 0/17] Miscellaneous fixes for 3.17

["Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>]

Hello!

This series provides miscellaneous fixes:

1.	Document deadlock-avoidance information in rcu_read_unlock()'s
	docbook comment header.

2.	Remove obsolete references to TINY_PREEMPT_RCU.

3.	Add deadlock explanation to local_irq_save() call in
	__lock_task_sighand().

4.	Make the rcu_node arrays be static const char * const,
	courtesy of Fabian Frederick.

5.	Remove redundant ACCESS_ONCE() from tick_do_timer_cpu under
	#ifdef CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL.

6.	Eliminate read-modify-write ACCESS_ONCE() calls.

7.	Loosen __call_rcu()'s rcu_head alignment constraint to handle
	m68k's 16-bit alignment.

8.	Allow post-unlock reference for rt_mutex.

9.	Check both root and current rcu_node structures when setting up
	future grace periods, courtesy of Pranith Kumar.

10.	Simplify priority boosting by putting rt_mutex in rcu_node
	structure.

11.	Bind grace-period kthreads to no-NO_HZ_FULL CPUs instead of the
	timekeeping CPU, at least for CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL_SYSIDLE=n.

12.	Don't use NMIs to dump other CPUs' stacks.

13.	Use __this_cpu_read() instead of per_cpu_ptr(), courtesy of Shan Wei.

14.	Remove CONFIG_PROVE_RCU_DELAY.

15.	Fix __rcu_reclaim to use true/false instead of 1/0.

16.	Fix sparse warning in rcu_initiate_boost(), courtesy of Pranith
	Kumar.

17.	Fix sparse warning in rcu_report_unblock_qs_rnp(), again courtesy
	of Pranith Kumar.

							Thanx, Paul
