Merge tag 'locking-core-2020-08-03' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

Pull locking updates from Ingo Molnar:

 - LKMM updates: mostly documentation changes, but also some new litmus
   tests for atomic ops.

 - KCSAN updates: the most important change is that GCC 11 now has all
   fixes in place to support KCSAN, so GCC support can be enabled again.
   Also more annotations.

 - futex updates: minor cleanups and simplifications

 - seqlock updates: merge preparatory changes/cleanups for the
   'associated locks' facilities.

 - lockdep updates:
    - simplify IRQ trace event handling
    - add various new debug checks
    - simplify header dependencies, split out <linux/lockdep_types.h>,
      decouple lockdep from other low level headers some more
    - fix NMI handling

 - misc cleanups and smaller fixes

+LITMUS TESTS
+============
+
+Each subdirectory contains litmus tests that are typical to describe the
+semantics of respective kernel APIs.
+For more information about how to "run" a litmus test or how to generate
+a kernel test module based on a litmus test, please see
+tools/memory-model/README.
+
+
+atomic (/atomic derectory)
+--------------------------
+
+Atomic-RMW+mb__after_atomic-is-stronger-than-acquire.litmus
+    Test that an atomic RMW followed by a smp_mb__after_atomic() is
+    stronger than a normal acquire: both the read and write parts of
+    the RMW are ordered before the subsequential memory accesses.
+
+Atomic-RMW-ops-are-atomic-WRT-atomic_set.litmus
+    Test that atomic_set() cannot break the atomicity of atomic RMWs.
+    NOTE: Require herd7 7.56 or later which supports "(void)expr".
+
+
+RCU (/rcu directory)
+--------------------
+
+MP+onceassign+derefonce.litmus (under tools/memory-model/litmus-tests/)
+    Demonstrates the use of rcu_assign_pointer() and rcu_dereference() to
+    ensure that an RCU reader will not see pre-initialization garbage.
+
+RCU+sync+read.litmus
+RCU+sync+free.litmus
+    Both the above litmus tests demonstrate the RCU grace period guarantee
+    that an RCU read-side critical section can never span a grace period.
