    Linus Torvalds authored
    Pull locking updates from Ingo Molnar:
     "The biggest part of this tree is the new auto-generated atomics API
      wrappers by Mark Rutland.
    
      The primary motivation was to allow instrumentation without uglifying
      the primary source code.
    
      The linecount increase comes from adding the auto-generated files to
      the Git space as well:
    
        include/asm-generic/atomic-instrumented.h     | 1689 ++++++++++++++++--
        include/asm-generic/atomic-long.h             | 1174 ++++++++++---
        include/linux/atomic-fallback.h               | 2295 +++++++++++++++++++++++++
        include/linux/atomic.h                        | 1241 +------------
    
      I preferred this approach, so that the full call stack of the (already
      complex) locking APIs is still fully visible in 'git grep'.
    
      But if this is excessive we could certainly hide them.
    
      There's a separate build-time mechanism to determine whether the
      headers are out of date (they should never be stale if we do our job
      right).
    
      Anyway, nothing from this should be visible to regular kernel
      developers.
    
      Other changes:
    
       - Add support for dynamic keys, which removes a source of false
         positives in the workqueue code, among other things (Bart Van
         Assche)
    
       - Updates to tools/memory-model (Andrea Parri, Paul E. McKenney)
    
       - qspinlock, wake_q and lockdep micro-optimizations (Waiman Long)
    
       - misc other updates and enhancements"
