Merge branch 'core-fixes-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/linux-2.6-tip
* 'core-fixes-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/linux-2.6-tip: locking: Make sparse work with inline spinlocks and rwlocks x86/mce: Fix RCU lockdep splats rcu: Increase RCU CPU stall timeouts if PROVE_RCU ftrace: Replace read_barrier_depends() with rcu_dereference_raw() rcu: Suppress RCU lockdep warnings during early boot rcu, ftrace: Fix RCU lockdep splat in ftrace_perf_buf_prepare() rcu: Suppress __mpol_dup() false positive from RCU lockdep rcu: Make rcu_read_lock_sched_held() handle !PREEMPT rcu: Add control variables to lockdep_rcu_dereference() diagnostics rcu, cgroup: Relax the check in task_subsys_state() as early boot is now handled by lockdep-RCU rcu: Use wrapper function instead of exporting tasklist_lock sched, rcu: Fix rcu_dereference() for RCU-lockdep rcu: Make task_subsys_state() RCU-lockdep checks handle boot-time use rcu: Fix holdoff for accelerated GPs for last non-dynticked CPU x86/gart: Unexport gart_iommu_aperture Fix trivial conflicts in kernel/trace/ftrace.c
