Merge tag 'for-linus-2020-07-02' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/brauner/linux
Pull data race annotation from Christian Brauner: "This contains an annotation patch for a data race in copy_process() reported by KCSAN when reading and writing nr_threads. The data race is intentional and benign. This is obvious from the comment above the relevant code and based on general consensus when discussing this issue. So simply using data_race() to annotate this as an intentional race seems the best option" * tag 'for-linus-2020-07-02' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/brauner/linux: fork: annotate data race in copy_process()
