Merge branch 'locking-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull locking changes from Ingo Molnar: "The main changes in this cycle were: - More gradual enhancements to atomic ops: new atomic*_read_ctrl() ops, synchronize atomic_{read,set}() ordering requirements between architectures, add atomic_long_t bitops. (Peter Zijlstra) - Add _{relaxed|acquire|release}() variants for inc/dec atomics and use them in various locking primitives: mutex, rtmutex, mcs, rwsem. This enables weakly ordered architectures (such as arm64) to make use of more locking related optimizations. (Davidlohr Bueso) - Implement atomic[64]_{inc,dec}_relaxed() on ARM. (Will Deacon) - Futex kernel data cache footprint micro-optimization. (Rasmus Villemoes) - pvqspinlock runtime overhead micro-optimization. (Waiman Long) - misc smaller fixlets" * 'locking-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: ARM, locking/atomics: Implement _relaxed variants of atomic[64]_{inc,dec} locking/rwsem: Use acquire/release semantics locking/mcs: Use acquire/release semantics locking/rtmutex: Use acquire/release semantics locking/mutex: Use acquire/release semantics locking/asm-generic: Add _{relaxed|acquire|release}() variants for inc/dec atomics atomic: Implement atomic_read_ctrl() atomic, arch: Audit atomic_{read,set}() atomic: Add atomic_long_t bitops futex: Force hot variables into a single cache line locking/pvqspinlock: Kick the PV CPU unconditionally when _Q_SLOW_VAL locking/osq: Relax atomic semantics locking/qrwlock: Rename ->lock to ->wait_lock locking/Documentation/lockstat: Fix typo - lokcing -> locking locking/atomics, cmpxchg: Privatize the inclusion of asm/cmpxchg.h
