Merge tag 'locking-core-2021-10-31' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull locking updates from Thomas Gleixner:
- Move futex code into kernel/futex/ and split up the kitchen sink into
seperate files to make integration of sys_futex_waitv() simpler.
- Add a new sys_futex_waitv() syscall which allows to wait on multiple
futexes.
The main use case is emulating Windows' WaitForMultipleObjects which
allows Wine to improve the performance of Windows Games. Also native
Linux games can benefit from this interface as this is a common wait
pattern for this kind of applications.
- Add context to ww_mutex_trylock() to provide a path for i915 to
rework their eviction code step by step without making lockdep upset
until the final steps of rework are completed. It's also useful for
regulator and TTM to avoid dropping locks in the non contended path.
- Lockdep and might_sleep() cleanups and improvements
- A few improvements for the RT substitutions.
- The usual small improvements and cleanups.
