This series contains a few documentation updates: 1. Record the fact that the rcutree.kthread_prio kernel boot parameter also controls the priority of the grace-period kthreads. 2. Update the kernel-per-CPU-kthreads.txt documentation based on Christoph Lameter's on-demand vmstat workers commit. 3. Update NO_HZ.txt documentation to reflect the fact that POSIX timers are no longer starved on adaptive-ticks CPUs. 4. Update kernel-per-CPU-kthreads.txt documentation to reflect workqueue usage and nosoftlockup boot parameter. 5. Clarify memory-barrier semantics of atomic operations. 6. Clarify control-dependency pairing.
