Peter Zijlstra 0cd39f4600 locking/seqlock, headers: Untangle the spaghetti monster
By using lockdep_assert_*() from seqlock.h, the spaghetti monster
attacked.

Attack back by reducing seqlock.h dependencies from two key high level headers:

 - <linux/seqlock.h>:               -Remove <linux/ww_mutex.h>
 - <linux/time.h>:                  -Remove <linux/seqlock.h>
 - <linux/sched.h>:                 +Add    <linux/seqlock.h>

The price was to add it to sched.h ...

Core header fallout, we add direct header dependencies instead of gaining them
parasitically from higher level headers:

 - <linux/dynamic_queue_limits.h>:  +Add <asm/bug.h>
 - <linux/hrtimer.h>:               +Add <linux/seqlock.h>
 - <linux/ktime.h>:                 +Add <asm/bug.h>
 - <linux/lockdep.h>:               +Add <linux/smp.h>
 - <linux/sched.h>:                 +Add <linux/seqlock.h>
 - <linux/videodev2.h>:             +Add <linux/kernel.h>

Arch headers fallout:

 - PARISC: <asm/timex.h>:           +Add <asm/special_insns.h>
 - SH:     <asm/io.h>:              +Add <asm/page.h>
 - SPARC:  <asm/timer_64.h>:        +Add <uapi/asm/asi.h>
 - SPARC:  <asm/vvar.h>:            +Add <asm/processor.h>, <asm/barrier.h>
                                    -Remove <linux/seqlock.h>
 - X86:    <asm/fixmap.h>:          +Add <asm/pgtable_types.h>
                                    -Remove <asm/acpi.h>

There's also a bunch of parasitic header dependency fallout in .c files, not listed
separately.

[ mingo: Extended the changelog, split up & fixed the original patch. ]

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
