    Merge branch 'locking-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip · 0200fbdd
    Linus Torvalds authored
    Pull locking and misc x86 updates from Ingo Molnar:
     "Lots of changes in this cycle - in part because locking/core attracted
      a number of related x86 low level work which was easier to handle in a
      single tree:
    
       - Linux Kernel Memory Consistency Model updates (Alan Stern, Paul E.
         McKenney, Andrea Parri)
    
       - lockdep scalability improvements and micro-optimizations (Waiman
         Long)
    
       - rwsem improvements (Waiman Long)
    
       - spinlock micro-optimization (Matthew Wilcox)
    
       - qspinlocks: Provide a liveness guarantee (more fairness) on x86.
         (Peter Zijlstra)
    
       - Add support for relative references in jump tables on arm64, x86
         and s390 to optimize jump labels (Ard Biesheuvel, Heiko Carstens)
    
       - Be a lot less permissive on weird (kernel address) uaccess faults
         on x86: BUG() when uaccess helpers fault on kernel addresses (Jann
         Horn)
    
       - macrofy x86 asm statements to un-confuse the GCC inliner. (Nadav
         Amit)
    
       - ... and a handful of other smaller changes as well"
