[PATCH tip/core/rcu 0/3] CPU hotplug changes for 4.9

From: Paul E. McKenney
Date: Mon Aug 22 2016 - 11:38:25 EST


Hello!

This series contains a few CPU-hotplug updates:

1. Provide exact tracking of incoming CPUs, which means that there
is now a definite point in the CPU-hotplug code at which RCU
starts paying attention to incoming CPUs.

2. Get rid of obsolete CPU_STARTING reference, courtesy of Sebastian
Andrzej Siewior.

3. Convert rcutorture's CPU-hotplug handling to use the shiny new
state machine, courtesy of Sebastian Andrzej Siewior.

Thanx, Paul
