Merge branch 'core-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

Pull core updates (RCU and locking) from Ingo Molnar:
 "Most of the diffstat comes from the RCU slow boot regression fixes,
  but there's also a debuggability improvements/fixes."

* 'core-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
  memblock: Document memblock_is_region_{memory,reserved}()
  rcu: Precompute RCU_FAST_NO_HZ timer offsets
  rcu: Move RCU_FAST_NO_HZ per-CPU variables to rcu_dynticks structure
  rcu: Update RCU_FAST_NO_HZ tracing for lazy callbacks
  rcu: RCU_FAST_NO_HZ detection of callback adoption
  spinlock: Indicate that a lockup is only suspected
  kdump: Execute kmsg_dump(KMSG_DUMP_PANIC) after smp_send_stop()
  panic: Make panic_on_oops configurable
