Pull RCU updates from Ingo Molnar:
"The main changes in this cycle were:
- Dynamic tick (nohz) updates, perhaps most notably changes to force
the tick on when needed due to lengthy in-kernel execution on CPUs
on which RCU is waiting.
- Linux-kernel memory consistency model updates.
- Replace rcu_swap_protected() with rcu_prepace_pointer().
- Torture-test updates.
- Documentation updates.
- Miscellaneous fixes"

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
