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 tree got pretty big in this development cycle, but the net effect is pretty good: 115 files changed, 673 insertions(+), 1522 deletions(-) The main changes were: - Rework and generalize the mutex code to remove per arch mutex primitives. (Peter Zijlstra) - Add vCPU preemption support: add an interface to query the preemption status of vCPUs and use it in locking primitives - this optimizes paravirt performance. (Pan Xinhui, Juergen Gross, Christian Borntraeger) - Introduce cpu_relax_yield() and remov cpu_relax_lowlatency() to clean up and improve the s390 lock yielding machinery and its core kernel impact. (Christian Borntraeger) - Micro-optimize mutexes some more. (Waiman Long) - Reluctantly add the to-be-deprecated mutex_trylock_recursive() interface on a temporary basis, to give the DRM code more time to get rid of its locking hacks. Any other users will be NAK-ed on sight. (We turned off the deprecation warning for the time being to not pollute the build log.) (Peter Zijlstra) - Improve the rtmutex code a bit, in light of recent long lived bugs/races. (Thomas Gleixner) - Misc fixes, cleanups" * 'locking-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (36 commits) x86/paravirt: Fix bool return type for PVOP_CALL() x86/paravirt: Fix native_patch() locking/ww_mutex: Use relaxed atomics locking/rtmutex: Explain locking rules for rt_mutex_proxy_unlock()/init_proxy_locked() locking/rtmutex: Get rid of RT_MUTEX_OWNER_MASKALL x86/paravirt: Optimize native pv_lock_ops.vcpu_is_preempted() locking/mutex: Break out of expensive busy-loop on {mutex,rwsem}_spin_on_owner() when owner vCPU is preempted locking/osq: Break out of spin-wait busy waiting loop for a preempted vCPU in osq_lock() Documentation/virtual/kvm: Support the vCPU preemption check x86/xen: Support the vCPU preemption check x86/kvm: Support the vCPU preemption check x86/kvm: Support the vCPU preemption check kvm: Introduce kvm_write_guest_offset_cached() locking/core, x86/paravirt: Implement vcpu_is_preempted(cpu) for KVM and Xen guests locking/spinlocks, s390: Implement vcpu_is_preempted(cpu) locking/core, powerpc: Implement vcpu_is_preempted(cpu) sched/core: Introduce the vcpu_is_preempted(cpu) interface sched/wake_q: Rename WAKE_Q to DEFINE_WAKE_Q locking/core: Provide common cpu_relax_yield() definition locking/mutex: Don't mark mutex_trylock_recursive() as deprecated, temporarily ...
