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.

+* Nios II Processor Binding
+
+This binding specifies what properties available in the device tree
+representation of a Nios II Processor Core.
+
+Users can use sopc2dts tool for generating device tree sources (dts) from a
+Qsys system. See more detail in: http://www.alterawiki.com/wiki/Sopc2dts
+
+Required properties:
+
+- compatible: Compatible property value should be "altr,nios2-1.0".
+- reg: Contains CPU index.
+- interrupt-controller: Specifies that the node is an interrupt controller
+- #interrupt-cells: Specifies the number of cells needed to encode an
+		interrupt source, should be 1.
+- clock-frequency: Contains the clock frequency for CPU, in Hz.
+- dcache-line-size: Contains data cache line size.
+- icache-line-size: Contains instruction line size.
+- dcache-size: Contains data cache size.
+- icache-size: Contains instruction cache size.
+- altr,pid-num-bits: Specifies the number of bits to use to represent the process
+		identifier (PID).
+- altr,tlb-num-ways: Specifies the number of set-associativity ways in the TLB.
+- altr,tlb-num-entries: Specifies the number of entries in the TLB.
+- altr,tlb-ptr-sz: Specifies size of TLB pointer.
+- altr,has-mul: Specifies CPU hardware multiply support, should be 1.
+- altr,has-mmu: Specifies CPU support MMU support, should be 1.
+- altr,has-initda: Specifies CPU support initda instruction, should be 1.
+- altr,reset-addr: Specifies CPU reset address
+- altr,fast-tlb-miss-addr: Specifies CPU fast TLB miss exception address
+- altr,exception-addr: Specifies CPU exception address
+
+Optional properties:
+- altr,has-div: Specifies CPU hardware divide support
+- altr,implementation: Nios II core implementation, this should be "fast";
+
