[PATCH tip/core/rcu 0/6] Documentation updates for 3.21^W4.1

From: Paul E. McKenney
Date: Tue Mar 03 2015 - 11:37:27 EST


Hello!

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.

Thanx, Paul
