Hello!

This series provides miscellaneous fixes:

1.	Make RCU_EXPEDITE_BOOT be the default in order to speed up
	boot, courtesy of Sebastian Andrzej Siewior.

2.	Make RCU suspicious-access lockdep splats use pr_err().

3.	Disable sys_membarrier when nohz_full is enabled, courtesy
	of Mathieu Desnoyers.

4.	Only dump stalled-tasks stacks if there was a real stall, courtesy
	of Byungchul Park.

5.	Remove unneeded rcu_process_callbacks() declarations.

6.	Remove unused but set "mask" variable, courtesy of Tobias Klauser.

7.	Add long-term CPU kicking.

8.	Remove short-term CPU kicking.

9.	Once again use NMI-based stack traces in stall warnings.

10.	Re-enable TASKS_RCU for User Mode Linux.

11.	Don't wake rcuc/X kthreads on NOCB CPUs.

12.	Add comment headers to expedited-grace-period counter functions.

13.	Make rcu_cpu_starting() use its "cpu" argument.

14.	Enable RCU tracepoints by default to aid in debugging, courtesy
	of Matt Fleming.

15.	Fix comment in rcu_organize_nocb_kthreads(), which no longer
	spawns kthreads.

16.	Clarify comments about when llist locking is needed, courtesy
	of Joel Fernandes.

17.	Eliminate unused expedited_normal counter.

18.	Add lockdep checks to synchronous expedited primitives.

Changes since v1:

o	Reverse the order of patches 7 and 8.

o	Defer the patch adding tests for trivial grace periods.

o	Defer the patch making cond_resched() provide RCU quiescent
	states.

o	Apply other feedback from Josh Triplett, Peter Zijlstra, and
	Michal Hocko.

							Thanx, Paul
