Linus Torvalds 652fa53caa Three small fixes/updates for the locking core code:
- Plug a task struct reference leak in the percpu rswem implementation.
 
  - Document the refcount interaction with PID_MAX_LIMIT
 
  - Improve the 'invalid wait context' data dump in lockdep so it contains
    all information which is required to decode the problem

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
