Merge branch 'locking-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull locking/atomics update from Thomas Gleixner: "The locking, atomics and memory model brains delivered: - A larger update to the atomics code which reworks the ordering barriers, consolidates the atomic primitives, provides the new atomic64_fetch_add_unless() primitive and cleans up the include hell. - Simplify cmpxchg() instrumentation and add instrumentation for xchg() and cmpxchg_double(). - Updates to the memory model and documentation" * 'locking-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (48 commits) locking/atomics: Rework ordering barriers locking/atomics: Instrument cmpxchg_double*() locking/atomics: Instrument xchg() locking/atomics: Simplify cmpxchg() instrumentation locking/atomics/x86: Reduce arch_cmpxchg64*() instrumentation tools/memory-model: Rename litmus tests to comply to norm7 tools/memory-model/Documentation: Fix typo, smb->smp sched/Documentation: Update wake_up() & co. memory-barrier guarantees locking/spinlock, sched/core: Clarify requirements for smp_mb__after_spinlock() sched/core: Use smp_mb() in wake_woken_function() tools/memory-model: Add informal LKMM documentation to MAINTAINERS locking/atomics/Documentation: Describe atomic_set() as a write operation tools/memory-model: Make scripts executable tools/memory-model: Remove ACCESS_ONCE() from model tools/memory-model: Remove ACCESS_ONCE() from recipes locking/memory-barriers.txt/kokr: Update Korean translation to fix broken DMA vs. MMIO ordering example MAINTAINERS: Add Daniel Lustig as an LKMM reviewer tools/memory-model: Fix ISA2+pooncelock+pooncelock+pombonce name tools/memory-model: Add litmus test for full multicopy atomicity locking/refcount: Always allow checked forms ...
