Merge branch 'core-fixes-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/linux-2.6-tip
* 'core-fixes-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/linux-2.6-tip: rcu: Fix whitespace inconsistencies rcu: Fix thinko, actually initialize full tree rcu: Apply results of code inspection of kernel/rcutree_plugin.h rcu: Add WARN_ON_ONCE() consistency checks covering state transitions rcu: Fix synchronize_rcu() for TREE_PREEMPT_RCU rcu: Simplify rcu_read_unlock_special() quiescent-state accounting rcu: Add debug checks to TREE_PREEMPT_RCU for premature grace periods rcu: Kconfig help needs to say that TREE_PREEMPT_RCU scales down rcutorture: Occasionally delay readers enough to make RCU force_quiescent_state rcu: Initialize multi-level RCU grace periods holding locks rcu: Need to update rnp->gpnum if preemptable RCU is to be reliable
