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 are:
- 'qspinlock' support, enabled on x86: queued spinlocks - these are
now the spinlock variant used by x86 as they outperform ticket
spinlocks in every category. (Waiman Long)
- 'pvqspinlock' support on x86: paravirtualized variant of queued
spinlocks. (Waiman Long, Peter Zijlstra)
- 'qrwlock' support, enabled on x86: queued rwlocks. Similar to
queued spinlocks, they are now the variant used by x86:
CONFIG_ARCH_USE_QUEUED_SPINLOCKS=y
CONFIG_QUEUED_SPINLOCKS=y
CONFIG_ARCH_USE_QUEUED_RWLOCKS=y
CONFIG_QUEUED_RWLOCKS=y
- various lockdep fixlets
- various locking primitives cleanups, further WRITE_ONCE()
propagation"
