Merge branch 'core-locking-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull core locking updates from Ingo Molnar:
"The biggest change is the MCS spinlock generalization changes from Tim
Chen, Peter Zijlstra, Jason Low et al. There's also lockdep
fixes/enhancements from Oleg Nesterov, in particular a false negative
fix related to lockdep_set_novalidate_class() usage"
* 'core-locking-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (22 commits)
locking/mutex: Fix debug checks
locking/mutexes: Add extra reschedule point
locking/mutexes: Introduce cancelable MCS lock for adaptive spinning
locking/mutexes: Unlock the mutex without the wait_lock
locking/mutexes: Modify the way optimistic spinners are queued
locking/mutexes: Return false if task need_resched() in mutex_can_spin_on_owner()
locking: Move mcs_spinlock.h into kernel/locking/
m68k: Skip futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic() test
futex: Allow architectures to skip futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic() test
Revert "sched/wait: Suppress Sparse 'variable shadowing' warning"
lockdep: Change lockdep_set_novalidate_class() to use _and_name
lockdep: Change mark_held_locks() to check hlock->check instead of lockdep_no_validate
lockdep: Don't create the wrong dependency on hlock->check == 0
lockdep: Make held_lock->check and "int check" argument bool
locking/mcs: Allow architecture specific asm files to be used for contended case
locking/mcs: Order the header files in Kbuild of each architecture in alphabetical order
sched/wait: Suppress Sparse 'variable shadowing' warning
