Merge tag 'locking-core-2024-01-08' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull locking updates from Ingo Molar: "Lock guards: - Use lock guards in the ptrace code - Introduce conditional guards to extend to conditional lock primitives like mutex_trylock()/mutex_lock_interruptible()/etc. lockdep: - Optimize 'struct lock_class' to be smaller - Update file patterns in MAINTAINERS mutexes: - Document mutex lifetime rules a bit more" * tag 'locking-core-2024-01-08' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: locking/mutex: Clarify that mutex_unlock(), and most other sleeping locks, can still use the lock object after it's unlocked locking/mutex: Document that mutex_unlock() is non-atomic ptrace: Convert ptrace_attach() to use lock guards locking/lockdep: Slightly reorder 'struct lock_class' to save some memory MAINTAINERS: Add include/linux/lockdep*.h cleanup: Add conditional guard support
