Merge branch 'rcu/next' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulmck/linux-rcu into core/rcu

Pull v3.7 RCU commits from Paul E. McKenney:

"
0. A fix for a latent bug that has been in RCU ever since the
        addition of CPU stall warnings.  This bug results in
        false-positive stall warnings, but thus far only on embedded
        systems with severely cut-down userspace configurations.
        This fix is located on an rcu/urgent branch, with the rest
        of the commits based on top of it.  This commit CCs stable.
        Given that the merge window is coming quite soon and given
        the small number of affected users, I do -not- recommend
        pushing it to 3.6, but the separate branch makes it easy to
        find if someone needs it.

1. Further reductions in latency spikes for huge systems, along
        with additional boot-time adaptation to the actual hardware.
        This is a large change, as it moves RCU grace-period
        initialization and cleanup, along with quiescent-state forcing,
        from softirq to a kthread.  However, it appears to be in
        quite good shape (famous last words).  Posted to LKML at
        https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/9/20/427.
2. Updates to documentation and rcutorture, the latter category
        including keeping statistics on CPU-hotplug latencies and
        fixing some initialization-time races.  Posted to LKML at
        https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/8/30/193.

3. Miscellaneous fixes and improvements, posted to LKML at
        https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/8/30/199.

4. CPU-hotplug fixes and improvements, posted to LKML at
        https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/8/30/292 for first three and at
        https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/8/3/416.

5. Idle-loop fixes that were omitted on an earlier submission,
        posted to LKML at https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/8/30/251.
