Merge branch 'locking-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull locking updates from Ingo Molnar: "So we have a laundry list of locking subsystem changes: - continuing barrier API and code improvements - futex enhancements - atomics API improvements - pvqspinlock enhancements: in particular lock stealing and adaptive spinning - qspinlock micro-enhancements" * 'locking-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: futex: Allow FUTEX_CLOCK_REALTIME with FUTEX_WAIT op futex: Cleanup the goto confusion in requeue_pi() futex: Remove pointless put_pi_state calls in requeue() futex: Document pi_state refcounting in requeue code futex: Rename free_pi_state() to put_pi_state() futex: Drop refcount if requeue_pi() acquired the rtmutex locking/barriers, arch: Remove ambiguous statement in the smp_store_mb() documentation lcoking/barriers, arch: Use smp barriers in smp_store_release() locking/cmpxchg, arch: Remove tas() definitions locking/pvqspinlock: Queue node adaptive spinning locking/pvqspinlock: Allow limited lock stealing locking/pvqspinlock: Collect slowpath lock statistics sched/core, locking: Document Program-Order guarantees locking, sched: Introduce smp_cond_acquire() and use it locking/pvqspinlock, x86: Optimize the PV unlock code path locking/qspinlock: Avoid redundant read of next pointer locking/qspinlock: Prefetch the next node cacheline locking/qspinlock: Use _acquire/_release() versions of cmpxchg() & xchg() atomics: Add test for atomic operations with _relaxed variants
