Subject[PATCH tip/core/rcu 0/9] Miscellaneous fixes for 3.19
Hello!

This series provides miscellaneous fixes:

1. Removes the CONFIG_RCU_CPU_STALL_VERBOSE, so that RCU CPU stall
warnings are henceforth unconditionally verbose. (Another RCU
Kconfig variable bites the dust!)

2. Allow 1- and 2-byte smp_load_acquire() and smp_store_release().
This has the side effect of removing support for pre-EV56 Alpha
CPUs, and the official Alpha maintainers have thus far been
silent on this issue.

3. Use rcu_dereference() for accessing struct mapped_device,

4. Annotate the dm_table's ->map field with __rcu, courtesy of
Pranith Kumar.

5. Add sparse checking for use of RCU_INIT_POINTER() on a non-__rcu
pointer, courtesy of Pranith Kumar.

6. Prevent cond_resched_rcu_qs() from doing gratuitous call to
rcu_note_voluntary_context_switch().

7. Update the list of rcu_read_unlock() potential deadlocks, courtesy
of Oleg Nesterov.

8. Bind rcu_tasks_kthread() to housekeeping CPUs in CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL
builds.

9. Provide lockless_dereference() for times when you want
rcu_dereference(), but without the sparse and lockdep-RCU noise.

Thanx, Paul
