Merge branch 'core-rcu-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/linux-2.6-tip
* 'core-rcu-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/linux-2.6-tip: (28 commits) rcu: Move end of special early-boot RCU operation earlier rcu: Changes from reviews: avoid casts, fix/add warnings, improve comments rcu: Create rcutree plugins to handle hotplug CPU for multi-level trees rcu: Remove lockdep annotations from RCU's _notrace() API members rcu: Add #ifdef to suppress __rcu_offline_cpu() warning in !HOTPLUG_CPU builds rcu: Add CPU-offline processing for single-node configurations rcu: Add "notrace" to RCU function headers used by ftrace rcu: Remove CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU rcu: Merge preemptable-RCU functionality into hierarchical RCU rcu: Simplify rcu_pending()/rcu_check_callbacks() API rcu: Use debugfs_remove_recursive() simplify code. rcu: Merge per-RCU-flavor initialization into pre-existing macro rcu: Fix online/offline indication for rcudata.csv trace file rcu: Consolidate sparse and lockdep declarations in include/linux/rcupdate.h rcu: Renamings to increase RCU clarity rcu: Move private definitions from include/linux/rcutree.h to kernel/rcutree.h rcu: Expunge lingering references to CONFIG_CLASSIC_RCU, optimize on !SMP rcu: Delay rcu_barrier() wait until beginning of next CPU-hotunplug operation. rcu: Fix typo in rcu_irq_exit() comment header rcu: Make rcupreempt_trace.c look at offline CPUs ...

+The last line shows the task-migration state. The first number is

+posting wakeups to the migration kthreads, and N when waiting on CPU N.
+Each of the colon-separated fields following the "/" is a CPU:state pair.
+Valid states are "0" for idle, "1" for waiting for quiescent state,
+"2" for passed through quiescent state, and "3" when a race with a
+CPU-hotplug event forces use of the synchronize_sched() primitive.
