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"
