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 locking tree was busier in this cycle than the usual pattern - a
couple of major projects happened to coincide.
The main changes are:
- implement the atomic_fetch_{add,sub,and,or,xor}() API natively
across all SMP architectures (Peter Zijlstra)
- add atomic_fetch_{inc/dec}() as well, using the generic primitives
(Davidlohr Bueso)
- optimize various aspects of rwsems (Jason Low, Davidlohr Bueso,
Waiman Long)
- optimize smp_cond_load_acquire() on arm64 and implement LSE based
atomic{,64}_fetch_{add,sub,and,andnot,or,xor}{,_relaxed,_acquire,_release}()
on arm64 (Will Deacon)
- introduce smp_acquire__after_ctrl_dep() and fix various barrier
mis-uses and bugs (Peter Zijlstra)
- after discovering ancient spin_unlock_wait() barrier bugs in its
implementation and usage, strengthen its semantics and update/fix
usage sites (Peter Zijlstra)
- optimize mutex_trylock() fastpath (Peter Zijlstra)
- ... misc fixes and cleanups"
