Merge branch 'locking-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull locking and misc x86 updates from Ingo Molnar: "Lots of changes in this cycle - in part because locking/core attracted a number of related x86 low level work which was easier to handle in a single tree: - Linux Kernel Memory Consistency Model updates (Alan Stern, Paul E. McKenney, Andrea Parri) - lockdep scalability improvements and micro-optimizations (Waiman Long) - rwsem improvements (Waiman Long) - spinlock micro-optimization (Matthew Wilcox) - qspinlocks: Provide a liveness guarantee (more fairness) on x86. (Peter Zijlstra) - Add support for relative references in jump tables on arm64, x86 and s390 to optimize jump labels (Ard Biesheuvel, Heiko Carstens) - Be a lot less permissive on weird (kernel address) uaccess faults on x86: BUG() when uaccess helpers fault on kernel addresses (Jann Horn) - macrofy x86 asm statements to un-confuse the GCC inliner. (Nadav Amit) - ... and a handful of other smaller changes as well" * 'locking-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (57 commits) locking/lockdep: Make global debug_locks* variables read-mostly locking/lockdep: Fix debug_locks off performance problem locking/pvqspinlock: Extend node size when pvqspinlock is configured locking/qspinlock_stat: Count instances of nested lock slowpaths locking/qspinlock, x86: Provide liveness guarantee x86/asm: 'Simplify' GEN_*_RMWcc() macros locking/qspinlock: Rework some comments locking/qspinlock: Re-order code locking/lockdep: Remove duplicated 'lock_class_ops' percpu array x86/defconfig: Enable CONFIG_USB_XHCI_HCD=y futex: Replace spin_is_locked() with lockdep locking/lockdep: Make class->ops a percpu counter and move it under CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCKDEP=y x86/jump-labels: Macrofy inline assembly code to work around GCC inlining bugs x86/cpufeature: Macrofy inline assembly code to work around GCC inlining bugs x86/extable: Macrofy inline assembly code to work around GCC inlining bugs x86/paravirt: Work around GCC inlining bugs when compiling paravirt ops x86/bug: Macrofy the BUG table section handling, to work around GCC inlining bugs x86/alternatives: Macrofy lock prefixes to work around GCC inlining bugs x86/refcount: Work around GCC inlining bug x86/objtool: Use asm macros to work around GCC inlining bugs ...
