Hello, Ingo,
This series contains the following changes:
1. Documentation updates, again just some simple changes. Yes, I am getting behind on design-level updates. :-/
http://lkml.kernel.org/g/20160822151413.GA6337@linux.vnet.ibm.com
2. Expedited grace-period changes, most notably avoiding having user threads drive expedited grace periods, using a workqueue instead.
http://lkml.kernel.org/g/20160822152239.GA7153@linux.vnet.ibm.com
3. Miscellaneous fixes, including a performance fix for lists that was sent with the lists modifications (second URL below). I am holding the lists debug-enhancement modifications for the next merge window, as there doesn't seem to be much energy around providing fixes, and I cannot supply that energy for this merge window. (I will make time as needed during the next merge window.)

4. CPU hotplug updates, most notably providing exact CPU-online tracking for RCU. This will in turn allow removal of the checks supporting RCU's prior heuristic that was based on the assumption that CPUs would take no longer than one jiffy to come online.

5. Torture-test updates.
http://lkml.kernel.org/g/20160822155423.GA11367@linux.vnet.ibm.com
All of these changes have been subjected to 0day Test Robot and -next testing, and are available in the git repository at:
