Merge branch 'rcu/idle' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulmck/linux-rcu into core/rcu

Pull the RCU adaptive-idle feature from Paul E. McKenney:

 "This series adds RCU APIs that allow non-idle tasks to
  enter RCU idle mode and provides x86 code to make use of them, allowing
  RCU to treat user-mode execution as an extended quiescent state when the
  new RCU_USER_QS kernel configuration parameter is specified.  Work is
  in progress to port this to a few other architectures, but is not part
  of this series."

+	  RCU extended quiescent state. Syscalls need to be wrapped inside
+	  rcu_user_exit()-rcu_user_enter() through the slow path using
+	  TIF_NOHZ flag. Exceptions handlers must be wrapped as well. Irqs

+	  preemption or signal handling on irq exit still need to be protected.
