[PATCH tip/core/rcu 0/9] Miscellaneous fixes for 3.19

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

Hello!

This series provides miscellaneous fixes:

1.	Removes the CONFIG_RCU_CPU_STALL_VERBOSE, so that RCU CPU stall
	warnings are henceforth unconditionally verbose.  (Another RCU
	Kconfig variable bites the dust!)

2.	Allow 1- and 2-byte smp_load_acquire() and smp_store_release().
	This has the side effect of removing support for pre-EV56 Alpha
	CPUs, and the official Alpha maintainers have thus far been
	silent on this issue.

3.	Use rcu_dereference() for accessing struct mapped_device,
	courtesy of Pranith Kumar.

4.	Annotate the dm_table's ->map field with __rcu, courtesy of
	Pranith Kumar.

5.	Add sparse checking for use of RCU_INIT_POINTER() on a non-__rcu
	pointer, courtesy of Pranith Kumar.

6.	Prevent cond_resched_rcu_qs() from doing gratuitous call to
	rcu_note_voluntary_context_switch().

7.	Update the list of rcu_read_unlock() potential deadlocks, courtesy
	of Oleg Nesterov.

8.	Bind rcu_tasks_kthread() to housekeeping CPUs in CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL
	builds.

9.	Provide lockless_dereference() for times when you want
	rcu_dereference(), but without the sparse and lockdep-RCU noise.

							Thanx, Paul
