Linus Torvalds a15286c63d Locking changes for this cycle:
- Core locking & atomics:
 
      - Convert all architectures to ARCH_ATOMIC: move every
        architecture to ARCH_ATOMIC, then get rid of ARCH_ATOMIC
        and all the transitory facilities and #ifdefs.
 
        Much reduction in complexity from that series:
 
            63 files changed, 756 insertions(+), 4094 deletions(-)
 
      - Self-test enhancements
 
  - Futexes:
 
      - Add the new FUTEX_LOCK_PI2 ABI, which is a variant that
        doesn't set FLAGS_CLOCKRT (.e. uses CLOCK_MONOTONIC).
 
        [ The temptation to repurpose FUTEX_LOCK_PI's implicit
          setting of FLAGS_CLOCKRT & invert the flag's meaning
          to avoid having to introduce a new variant was
          resisted successfully. ]
 
      - Enhance futex self-tests
 
  - Lockdep:
 
      - Fix dependency path printouts
      - Optimize trace saving
      - Broaden & fix wait-context checks
 
  - Misc cleanups and fixes.

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.
