Merge branch 'locking-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull locking updates from Ingo Molnar:
- Add 'cross-release' support to lockdep, which allows APIs like
completions, where it's not the 'owner' who releases the lock, to be
tracked. It's all activated automatically under
CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING=y.
- Clean up (restructure) the x86 atomics op implementation to be more
readable, in preparation of KASAN annotations. (Dmitry Vyukov)
- Fix static keys (Paolo Bonzini)
- Add killable versions of down_read() et al (Kirill Tkhai)
- Rework and fix jump_label locking (Marc Zyngier, Paolo Bonzini)
- Rework (and fix) tlb_flush_pending() barriers (Peter Zijlstra)
- Remove smp_mb__before_spinlock() and convert its usages, introduce
smp_mb__after_spinlock() (Peter Zijlstra)
