Linus Torvalds d63a978865 Merge branch 'locking-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull locking changes from Ingo Molnar:
 "The main changes in this cycle were:

   - More gradual enhancements to atomic ops: new atomic*_read_ctrl()
     ops, synchronize atomic_{read,set}() ordering requirements between
     architectures, add atomic_long_t bitops.  (Peter Zijlstra)

   - Add _{relaxed|acquire|release}() variants for inc/dec atomics and
     use them in various locking primitives: mutex, rtmutex, mcs, rwsem.
     This enables weakly ordered architectures (such as arm64) to make
     use of more locking related optimizations.  (Davidlohr Bueso)

   - Implement atomic[64]_{inc,dec}_relaxed() on ARM.  (Will Deacon)

   - Futex kernel data cache footprint micro-optimization.  (Rasmus
     Villemoes)

   - pvqspinlock runtime overhead micro-optimization.  (Waiman Long)

   - misc smaller fixlets"
