Merge branch 'core-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/linux-2.6-tip

* 'core-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/linux-2.6-tip:
  signal: align __lock_task_sighand() irq disabling and RCU
  softirq,rcu: Inform RCU of irq_exit() activity
  sched: Add irq_{enter,exit}() to scheduler_ipi()
  rcu: protect __rcu_read_unlock() against scheduler-using irq handlers
  rcu: Streamline code produced by __rcu_read_unlock()
  rcu: Fix RCU_BOOST race handling current->rcu_read_unlock_special
  rcu: decrease rcu_report_exp_rnp coupling with scheduler
