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/class/tty/ttyS<x>/rx_trig_bytes
+Date: May 2014
+Contact: Yoshihiro YUNOMAE <yoshihiro.yunomae.ez@hitachi.com>
+Description:
+ Shows current RX interrupt trigger bytes or sets the
+ user specified value to change it for the FIFO buffer.
+ Users can show or set this value regardless of opening the
+ serial device file or not.
+
+ The RX trigger can be set one of four kinds of values for UART
+ serials. When users input a meaning less value to this I/F,
+ the RX trigger is changed to the nearest lower value for the
+ device specification. For example, when user sets 7bytes on
+ 16550A, which has 1/4/8/14 bytes trigger, the RX trigger is
+ automatically changed to 4 bytes.
