Merge branch 'locking-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip into next
Pull core locking updates from Ingo Molnar: "The main changes in this cycle were: - reduced/streamlined smp_mb__*() interface that allows more usecases and makes the existing ones less buggy, especially in rarer architectures - add rwsem implementation comments - bump up lockdep limits" * 'locking-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (33 commits) rwsem: Add comments to explain the meaning of the rwsem's count field lockdep: Increase static allocations arch: Mass conversion of smp_mb__*() arch,doc: Convert smp_mb__*() arch,xtensa: Convert smp_mb__*() arch,x86: Convert smp_mb__*() arch,tile: Convert smp_mb__*() arch,sparc: Convert smp_mb__*() arch,sh: Convert smp_mb__*() arch,score: Convert smp_mb__*() arch,s390: Convert smp_mb__*() arch,powerpc: Convert smp_mb__*() arch,parisc: Convert smp_mb__*() arch,openrisc: Convert smp_mb__*() arch,mn10300: Convert smp_mb__*() arch,mips: Convert smp_mb__*() arch,metag: Convert smp_mb__*() arch,m68k: Convert smp_mb__*() arch,m32r: Convert smp_mb__*() arch,ia64: Convert smp_mb__*() ...
