Hello!
This series updates RCU's handling of per-CPU variables, mostly
moving from "cpu" function arguments to various "this_"-style accessors
for per-CPU variables:
1. Drop the rdtp argument from RCU's dyntick-idle and sysidle
functions, substituting this_cpu_ptr(), courtesy of Christoph
Lameter.
2. Use DEFINE_PER_CPU_SHARED_ALIGNED for rcu_data structures in
order to avoid false sharing with other per-CPU variables.
3-9. Remove "cpu" arguments from a number of RCU functions that are
only ever invoked on that CPU, and use appropriate "this_"-style
accesssors for the per-CPU variables.
Thanx, Paul
