    Merge branch 'locking-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip · 168829ad
    Linus Torvalds authored
    Pull locking updates from Ingo Molnar:
     "The main changes in this cycle were:
    
       - A comprehensive rewrite of the robust/PI futex code's exit handling
         to fix various exit races. (Thomas Gleixner et al)
    
       - Rework the generic REFCOUNT_FULL implementation using
         atomic_fetch_* operations so that the performance impact of the
         cmpxchg() loops is mitigated for common refcount operations.
    
         With these performance improvements the generic implementation of
         refcount_t should be good enough for everybody - and this got
         confirmed by performance testing, so remove ARCH_HAS_REFCOUNT and
         REFCOUNT_FULL entirely, leaving the generic implementation enabled
         unconditionally. (Will Deacon)
    
       - Other misc changes, fixes, cleanups"
    
    * 'locking-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (27 commits)
      lkdtm: Remove references to CONFIG_REFCOUNT_FULL
      locking/refcount: Remove unused 'refcount_error_report()' function
      locking/refcount: Consolidate implementations of refcount_t
      locking/refcount: Consolidate REFCOUNT_{MAX,SATURATED} definitions
      locking/refcount: Move saturation warnings out of line
      locking/refcount: Improve performance of generic REFCOUNT_FULL code
      locking/refcount: Move the bulk of the REFCOUNT_FULL implementation into the <linux/refcount.h> header
      locking/refcount: Remove unused refcount_*_checked() variants
      locking/refcount: Ensure integer operands are treated as signed
      locking/refcount: Define constants for saturation and max refcount values
      futex: Prevent exit livelock
      futex: Provide distinct return value when owner is exiting
      futex: Add mutex around futex exit
      futex: Provide state handling for exec() as well
      futex: Sanitize exit state handling
      futex: Mark the begin of futex exit explicitly
      futex: Set task::futex_state to DEAD right after handling futex exit
      futex: Split futex_mm_release() for exit/exec
      exit/exec: Seperate mm_release()
      futex: Replace PF_EXITPIDONE with a state
      ...
