Hello! This series provides miscellaneous fixes: 1. Fix to include first blocked task in stall warning, courtesy of Yanfei Xu. 2. Fix stall-warning deadlock due to non-release of rcu_node ->lock, courtesy of Yanfei Xu. 3. Remove special bit at the bottom of the ->dynticks counter, courtesy of "Joel Fernandes (Google)". 4. Weaken ->dynticks accesses and updates. 5. Mark accesses to ->rcu_read_lock_nesting. 6. Unify documentation about missing list_empty_rcu(), courtesy of Julian Wiedmann. 7. Handle VM stoppage in stall detection, courtesy of Sergey Senozhatsky. 8. Do not disable GP stall detection in rcu_cpu_stall_reset(), courtesy of Sergey Senozhatsky. 9. Start timing stall repetitions after warning complete. 10. Mark read-side data races. 11. Mark lockless ->qsmask read in rcu_check_boost_fail(). 12. Make rcu_gp_init() and rcu_gp_fqs_loop noinline to conserve stack. 13. Remove trailing spaces and tabs, courtesy of Zhen Lei. 14. Mark accesses in tree_stall.h. 15. Remove useless "ret" update in rcu_gp_fqs_loop(), courtesy of Liu Song. 16. Use per_cpu_ptr to get the pointer of per_cpu variable, courtesy of Liu Song. 17.
