Linus Torvalds 4b9fd8a829 Merge branch 'locking-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull locking updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "The main changes in this cycle were:

   - Continued user-access cleanups in the futex code.

   - percpu-rwsem rewrite that uses its own waitqueue and atomic_t
     instead of an embedded rwsem. This addresses a couple of
     weaknesses, but the primary motivation was complications on the -rt
     kernel.

   - Introduce raw lock nesting detection on lockdep
     (CONFIG_PROVE_RAW_LOCK_NESTING=y), document the raw_lock vs. normal
     lock differences. This too originates from -rt.

   - Reuse lockdep zapped chain_hlocks entries, to conserve RAM
     footprint on distro-ish kernels running into the "BUG:
     MAX_LOCKDEP_CHAIN_HLOCKS too low!" depletion of the lockdep
     chain-entries pool.

   - Misc cleanups, smaller fixes and enhancements - see the changelog
     for details"

README

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.
