Merge branch 'locking-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull locking updates from Ingo Molnar: "The main changes in this cycle were: - Implement wraparound-safe refcount_t and kref_t types based on generic atomic primitives (Peter Zijlstra) - Improve and fix the ww_mutex code (Nicolai Hähnle) - Add self-tests to the ww_mutex code (Chris Wilson) - Optimize percpu-rwsems with the 'rcuwait' mechanism (Davidlohr Bueso) - Micro-optimize the current-task logic all around the core kernel (Davidlohr Bueso) - Tidy up after recent optimizations: remove stale code and APIs, clean up the code (Waiman Long) - ... plus misc fixes, updates and cleanups" * 'locking-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (50 commits) fork: Fix task_struct alignment locking/spinlock/debug: Remove spinlock lockup detection code lockdep: Fix incorrect condition to print bug msgs for MAX_LOCKDEP_CHAIN_HLOCKS lkdtm: Convert to refcount_t testing kref: Implement 'struct kref' using refcount_t refcount_t: Introduce a special purpose refcount type sched/wake_q: Clarify queue reinit comment sched/wait, rcuwait: Fix typo in comment locking/mutex: Fix lockdep_assert_held() fail locking/rtmutex: Flip unlikely() branch to likely() in __rt_mutex_slowlock() locking/rwsem: Reinit wake_q after use locking/rwsem: Remove unnecessary atomic_long_t casts jump_labels: Move header guard #endif down where it belongs locking/atomic, kref: Implement kref_put_lock() locking/ww_mutex: Turn off __must_check for now locking/atomic, kref: Avoid more abuse locking/atomic, kref: Use kref_get_unless_zero() more locking/atomic, kref: Kill kref_sub() locking/atomic, kref: Add kref_read() locking/atomic, kref: Add KREF_INIT() ...
