Pull RCU updates from Ingo Molnar:
"The main RCU subsystem changes in this cycle were:
- Miscellaneous fixes, perhaps most notably removing obsolete code
whose only purpose in life was to gather information for the
now-removed RCU debugfs facility. Other notable changes include
removing NO_HZ_FULL_ALL in favor of the nohz_full kernel boot
parameter, minor optimizations for expedited grace periods, some
added tracing, creating an RCU-specific workqueue using Tejun's new
WQ_MEM_RECLAIM flag, and several cleanups to code and comments.
- SRCU cleanups and optimizations.
- Torture-test updates, perhaps most notably the adding of ARMv8
support, but also including numerous cleanups and usability fixes"

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
