2019-07-15docs: locking: convert docs to ReST and rename to *.rstMauro Carvalho Chehab
Convert the locking documents to ReST and add them to the kernel development book where it belongs. Most of the stuff here is just to make Sphinx to properly parse the text file, as they're already in good shape, not requiring massive changes in order to be parsed. The conversion is actually: - add blank lines and identation in order to identify paragraphs; - fix tables markups; - add some lists markups; - mark literal blocks; - adjust title markups. At its new index.rst, let's add a :orphan: while this is not linked to the main index.rst file, in order to avoid build warnings.

2017-08-24rtmutex: update rt-mutexAlex Shi
The rtmutex remove a pending owner bit in in rt_mutex::owner, in commit 8161239a8bcc ("rtmutex: Simplify PI algorithm and make highest prio task get lock") But the document was changed accordingly. Updating it to a meaningful state. BTW, as 'Steven Rostedt' mentioned: There is still technically a "Pending Owner", it's just not called that anymore. The pending owner happens to be the top_waiter of a lock that has no owner and has been woken up to grab the lock.
