Changes:

Make expedited grace periods expedite normal RCU callbacks

Miscellaneous fixes:
 * Improve diagnostic output with character task states.
 * Mark accesses to inform KCSAN of concurrency design.
 * Move from kmalloc() to kmalloc_obj().
 * Documentation updates.
 * Improve handling of RCU deferred quiescent states.
 * Clean up unused function arguments and structure fields.
 * Reduce show_rcu_gp_kthreads() stack space.

Tasks RCU updates:
 * Clean up after SRCU re-implementation of Tasks Trace RCU.
 * Mark accesses to inform KCSAN of concurrency design.
 * Add ->lazy_timer status to diagnostic output.
 * Remove an unnecessary memory barrier.
 * Fix a data race, courtesy of KCSAN.
 * Documentation updates.
 * Convert cond_resched_tasks_rcu_qs() from macro to static inline
   function.

SRCU updates:
 * Add Rust helpers for SRCU.
 * Avoid losing queued work at cleanup_srcu_struct() time.

Torture-test updates:
 * Preparation work for immediate RCU priority deboosting.
 * Test RCU readers from real interrupt handlers (as opposed to softirq).
 * Simplify code through use of cpumask_next_wrap().
 * Improve diagnostic output with character task states.
 * Add rcutorture.nwriters parameter to allow lightweight stall testing,
   and rcutorture.stall_only to make doing so easier.
 * Test an RCU Tasks Trace grace period implying an RCU grace period.
 * Make RCU Tasks Trace torturing track reader batches.
 * Fix a data race, courtesy of KCSAN.
 * Plug a shuffle_tmp_mask memory leak on kthread spawn failure.

+What:		/sys/firmware/ibft/initiator
+Date:		November 2007
+Contact:	Konrad Rzeszutek <ketuzsezr@darnok.org>
+Description:	The /sys/firmware/ibft/initiator directory will contain
+		files that expose the iSCSI Boot Firmware Table initiator data.
+		Usually this contains the Initiator name.
+
+What:		/sys/firmware/ibft/targetX
+Date:		November 2007
+Contact:	Konrad Rzeszutek <ketuzsezr@darnok.org>
+Description:	The /sys/firmware/ibft/targetX directory will contain
+		files that expose the iSCSI Boot Firmware Table target data.
+		Usually this contains the target's IP address, boot LUN,
+		target name, and what NIC it is associated with. It can also
+		contain the CHAP name (and password), the reverse CHAP
+		name (and password)

+What:		/sys/firmware/ibft/ethernetX
+Date:		November 2007
+Contact:	Konrad Rzeszutek <ketuzsezr@darnok.org>
+Description:	The /sys/firmware/ibft/ethernetX directory will contain
+		files that expose the iSCSI Boot Firmware Table NIC data.
+		Usually this contains the IP address, MAC, and gateway of the NIC.

+What:		/sys/firmware/ibft/acpi_header
+Date:		March 2016
+Contact:	David Bond <dbond@suse.com>
+Description:	The /sys/firmware/ibft/acpi_header directory will contain files
+		that expose the SIGNATURE, OEM_ID, and OEM_TABLE_ID fields of the
+		acpi table header of the iBFT structure.  This will allow for
+		identification of the creator of the table which is useful in
+		determining quirks associated with some adapters when used in
+		hardware vs software iscsi initiator mode.
