Merge branch 'rcu/next' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulmck/linux-rcu into core/rcu

Pull RCU updates from Paul E. McKenney:

"
 * Update RCU documentation.  These were posted to LKML at
   https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/8/19/611.

 * Miscellaneous fixes.  These were posted to LKML at
   https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/8/19/619.

 * Full-system idle detection.  This is for use by Frederic
   Weisbecker's adaptive-ticks mechanism.  Its purpose is
   to allow the timekeeping CPU to shut off its tick when
   all other CPUs are idle.  These were posted to LKML at
   https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/8/19/648.

 * Improve rcutorture test coverage.  These were posted to LKML at
   https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/8/19/675.
