Merge branch 'core-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull RCU fix from Ingo Molnar: "Fix leaking RCU extended quiescent state, which might trigger warnings and mess up the extended quiescent state tracking logic into thinking that we are in "RCU user mode" while we aren't." * 'core-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: rcu: Fix unrecovered RCU user mode in syscall_trace_leave()
