Subject[PATCH tip/core/rcu 0/7] Miscellaneous fixes for 4.10
Hello!

This series contains miscellaneous fixes to RCU:

1. Tighten up __call_rcu's alignment check for the rcu_head structure
now that no arch does two-byte alignment of pointers.

2. Remove obsolete comment about when rcu_check_callbacks() was invoked.

3. Remove obsolete comment about which function opportunistically
notes grace periods beginnings and endings.

4. Update the RCU_TRACE Kconfig option's help text to note that
it enables event tracing in addition to debugfs, courtesy of
Nikolay Borisov.

5. Add event tracing for long read-side delays in rcutorture
in order to better debug too-short grace periods.

6. Make expedited grace periods recheck dyntick-idle state to avoid
sending needless IPIs.

7. Don't kick CPUs unless there is grace-period activity currently
in progress.

Thanx, Paul
