Merge branch 'locking-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip into next

Pull core locking updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "The main changes in this cycle were:

   - reduced/streamlined smp_mb__*() interface that allows more usecases
     and makes the existing ones less buggy, especially in rarer
     architectures

   - add rwsem implementation comments

   - bump up lockdep limits"

* 'locking-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (33 commits)
