Merge branch 'locking-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull locking updates from Ingo Molnar: - Add 'cross-release' support to lockdep, which allows APIs like completions, where it's not the 'owner' who releases the lock, to be tracked. It's all activated automatically under CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING=y. - Clean up (restructure) the x86 atomics op implementation to be more readable, in preparation of KASAN annotations. (Dmitry Vyukov) - Fix static keys (Paolo Bonzini) - Add killable versions of down_read() et al (Kirill Tkhai) - Rework and fix jump_label locking (Marc Zyngier, Paolo Bonzini) - Rework (and fix) tlb_flush_pending() barriers (Peter Zijlstra) - Remove smp_mb__before_spinlock() and convert its usages, introduce smp_mb__after_spinlock() (Peter Zijlstra) * 'locking-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (56 commits) locking/lockdep/selftests: Fix mixed read-write ABBA tests sched/completion: Avoid unnecessary stack allocation for COMPLETION_INITIALIZER_ONSTACK() acpi/nfit: Fix COMPLETION_INITIALIZER_ONSTACK() abuse locking/pvqspinlock: Relax cmpxchg's to improve performance on some architectures smp: Avoid using two cache lines for struct call_single_data locking/lockdep: Untangle xhlock history save/restore from task independence locking/refcounts, x86/asm: Disable CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_REFCOUNT for the time being futex: Remove duplicated code and fix undefined behaviour Documentation/locking/atomic: Finish the document... locking/lockdep: Fix workqueue crossrelease annotation workqueue/lockdep: 'Fix' flush_work() annotation locking/lockdep/selftests: Add mixed read-write ABBA tests mm, locking/barriers: Clarify tlb_flush_pending() barriers locking/lockdep: Make CONFIG_LOCKDEP_CROSSRELEASE and CONFIG_LOCKDEP_COMPLETIONS truly non-interactive locking/lockdep: Explicitly initialize wq_barrier::done::map locking/lockdep: Rename CONFIG_LOCKDEP_COMPLETE to CONFIG_LOCKDEP_COMPLETIONS locking/lockdep: Reword title of LOCKDEP_CROSSRELEASE config locking/lockdep: Make CONFIG_LOCKDEP_CROSSRELEASE part of CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING locking/refcounts, x86/asm: Implement fast refcount overflow protection locking/lockdep: Fix the rollback and overwrite detection logic in crossrelease ...
