Subject[PATCH tip/core/rcu 04/47] rcu: Add diagnostic for misaligned rcu_head structures
Date
From: "Paul E. McKenney" <paul.mckenney@linaro.org>

The push for energy efficiency will require that RCU tag rcu_head
structures to indicate whether or not their invocation is time critical.
This tagging is best carried out in the bottom bits of the ->next
pointers in the rcu_head structures. This tagging requires that the
rcu_head structures be properly aligned, so this commit adds the required
diagnostics.
