Additional RCU commits for 3.3
cover Additional RCU commits for 3.3
Hello, Ingo,
Further -next and other testing uncovered one upcoming change and some build warnings. The three commits below address these. I am putting them forward for 3.3, but of course if the risk of change exceeds the magnitude of the problems, I can keep them queued for 3.4. These are all quite small, have been exposed to -next testing, and I retested them against current tip/master.
The specific changes are as follows:
1. Change rcutorture's module parameters of type int to instead
be bool. This is in preparation for Rusty's patch that makes type-int module parameters illegal. (Courtesy of Rusty Russell.)
2. Add "const" to the new is_idle_task()'s argument, which
addresses a build warning located by Stephen Rothwell.
3. Add __cpuinit to rcu_torture_onoff() to address a section
mismatch build warning. (Courtesy of Heiko Carstens.)
These changes are based off of 3.2-rc7 and are available in the git repository at:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulmck/linux-rcu.git rcu/urgent
Thanx, Paul

Pulled them into tip:core/urgent, thanks Paul!
