init_data_structures_once() is called for the first time before RCU has
been initialized. Make sure that init_rcu_head() is called before the
RCU head is used and after RCU has been initialized.

<title>locking/lockdep: Avoid a Clang warning</title>

Clang warns about a tentative array definition without a length:

  kernel/locking/lockdep.c:845:12: error: tentative array definition assumed to have one element [-Werror]

There is no real reason to do this here, so just set the same length as
in the real definition later in the same file.  It has to be hidden in
an #ifdef or annotated __maybe_unused though, to avoid the unused-variable
warning if CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING is disabled.

     library support side

   - Documentation updates.

   - ... and lots of other changes, see the changelog for details.

  Kernel side updates:

   - Tighten up kprobes blacklist handling, reduce the number of places
     where developers can install a kprobe and hang/crash the system.

   - Fix/enhance vma address filter handling.

Pull locking updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "The biggest part of this tree is the new auto-generated atomics API
  wrappers by Mark Rutland.

  The primary motivation was to allow instrumentation without uglifying
  the primary source code.

  The linecount increase comes from adding the auto-generated files to
  the Git space as well:

    include/asm-generic/atomic-instrumented.h     | 1689 ++++++++++++++++--
    include/asm-generic/atomic-long.h             | 1174 ++++++++++---
    include/linux/atomic-fallback.h               | 2295 +++++++++++++++++++++++++
    include/linux/atomic.h                        | 1241 +------------

  I preferred this approach, so that the full call stack of the (already
  complex) locking APIs is still fully visible in 'git grep'.

  But if this is excessive we could certainly hide them.

  There's a separate build-time mechanism to determine whether the
  headers are out of date (they should never be stale if we do our job
  right).

  Anyway, nothing from this should be visible to regular kernel
  developers.

  Other changes:

   - Add support for dynamic keys, which removes a source of false
     positives in the workqueue code, among other things (Bart Van
     Assche)

   - Updates to tools/memory-model (Andrea Parri, Paul E. McKenney)

   - qspinlock, wake_q and lockdep micro-optimizations (Waiman Long)

<id>108c14858b9ea224686e476c8f5ec345a0df9e27</id>
<content type='text'>
A shortcoming of the current lockdep implementation is that it requires
lock keys to be allocated statically. That forces all instances of lock
objects that occur in a given data structure to share a lock key. Since
lock dependency analysis groups lock objects per key sharing lock keys
can cause false positive lockdep reports. Make it possible to avoid
such false positive reports by allowing lock keys to be allocated
dynamically. Require that dynamically allocated lock keys are
registered before use by calling lockdep_register_key(). Complain about
attempts to register the same lock key pointer twice without calling
lockdep_unregister_key() between successive registration calls.

The purpose of the new lock_keys_hash[] data structure that keeps
track of all dynamic keys is twofold:

  - Verify whether the lockdep_register_key() and lockdep_unregister_key()
    functions are used correctly.

  - Avoid that lockdep_init_map() complains when encountering a dynamically
    allocated key.

A shortcoming of the current lockdep implementation is that it requires
lock keys to be allocated statically. That forces all instances of lock
objects that occur in a given data structure to share a lock key. Since
lock dependency analysis groups lock objects per key sharing lock keys
can cause false positive lockdep reports. Make it possible to avoid
such false positive reports by allowing lock keys to be allocated
dynamically. Require that dynamically allocated lock keys are
registered before use by calling lockdep_register_key(). Complain about
attempts to register the same lock key pointer twice without calling
lockdep_unregister_key() between successive registration calls.

Debugging lockdep data structure inconsistencies is challenging. Add
code that verifies data structure consistency at runtime. That code is
disabled by default because it is very CPU intensive.

A previous patch introduced a lock chain leak. Fix that leak by reusing
lock chains that have been freed.
