Pull locking updates from Ingo Molnar: - Lots of tidying up changes all across the map for Linux's formal memory/locking-model tooling, by Alan Stern, Akira Yokosawa, Andrea Parri, Paul E. McKenney and SeongJae Park. Notable changes beyond an overall update in the tooling itself is the tidying up of spin_is_locked() semantics, which spills over into the kernel proper as well. - qspinlock improvements: the locking algorithm now guarantees forward progress whereas the previous implementation in mainline could starve threads indefinitely in cmpxchg() loops. Also other related cleanups to the qspinlock code (Will Deacon) - misc smaller improvements, cleanups and fixes all across the locking subsystem * 'locking-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (51 commits) locking/rwsem: Simplify the is-owner-spinnable checks tools/memory-model: Add reference for 'Simplifying ARM concurrency' tools/memory-model: Update ASPLOS information MAINTAINERS, tools/memory-model: Update e-mail address for Andrea Parri tools/memory-model: Fix coding style in 'lock.cat' tools/memory-model: Remove out-of-date comments and code from lock.cat tools/memory-model: Improve mixed-access checking in lock.cat tools/memory-model: Improve comments in lock.cat tools/memory-model: Remove duplicated code from lock.cat tools/memory-model: Flag "cumulativity" and "propagation" tests tools/memory-model: Add model support for spin_is_locked() tools/memory-model: Add scripts to test memory model tools/memory-model: Fix coding style in 'linux-kernel.def' tools/memory-model: Model 'smp_store_mb()' tools/memory-order: Update the cheat-sheet to show that smp_mb__after_atomic() orders later RMW operations tools/memory-order: Improve key for SELF and SV tools/memory-model: Fix cheat sheet typo tools/memory-model: Update required version of herdtools7 tools/memory-model: Redefine rb in terms of rcu-fence tools/memory-model: Rename link and rcu-path to rcu-link and rb ... |
