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:
  locking: Make sparse work with inline spinlocks and rwlocks
  x86/mce: Fix RCU lockdep splats
  rcu: Increase RCU CPU stall timeouts if PROVE_RCU
  ftrace: Replace read_barrier_depends() with rcu_dereference_raw()
  rcu: Suppress RCU lockdep warnings during early boot
  rcu, ftrace: Fix RCU lockdep splat in ftrace_perf_buf_prepare()
  rcu: Suppress __mpol_dup() false positive from RCU lockdep
  rcu: Make rcu_read_lock_sched_held() handle !PREEMPT
  rcu: Add control variables to lockdep_rcu_dereference() diagnostics
  rcu, cgroup: Relax the check in task_subsys_state() as early boot is now handled by lockdep-RCU
  rcu: Use wrapper function instead of exporting tasklist_lock
  sched, rcu: Fix rcu_dereference() for RCU-lockdep
  rcu: Make task_subsys_state() RCU-lockdep checks handle boot-time use
  rcu: Fix holdoff for accelerated GPs for last non-dynticked CPU
  x86/gart: Unexport gart_iommu_aperture
