    Subject[PATCH RFC -tip 0/4] RCU cleanups and simplified preemptable RCU
    [Not for inclusion.]

    This patchset contains some RCU cleanups as follows:

    o Move private definitions from include/linux/rcutree.h to
    kernel/rcutree.h

    o Rename variables and functions so that RCU-sched is an
    underlying definition, along with RCU-bh and (when so
    configured) RCU-preempt. RCU then maps to either RCU-sched
    or RCU-preempt, depending on configuration.

    o Consolidate sparse and lockdep into include/linux/rcupdate.h
    so that all RCU implementations are set up properly.

    With these in place, we add configurable preemptable-RCU functionality
    to kernel/rcutree.c. This new implementation has much faster and
    simpler read-side primitives (roughly that of Classic RCU built with
    CONFIG_PREEMPT), and has update-side performance equal to Classic RCU (at
    least in absence of blocking/preemption of read-side critical sections).
    This new implementation should eventually replace the old preemptable RCU,
    which would remove 2099 lines of code from the kernel.

    This patchset is undoubtably buggy, and does not have RCU priority
    boosting, though it does have the necessary tracking of tasks blocked
    in RCU read-side critical sections.
