Merge branch 'locking-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel...

Pull locking updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "The main changes in the locking subsystem in this cycle were:

   - Add the Linux Kernel Memory Consistency Model (LKMM) subsystem,
     which is an an array of tools in tools/memory-model/ that formally
     describe the Linux memory coherency model (a.k.a.
     Documentation/memory-barriers.txt), and also produce 'litmus tests'
     in form of kernel code which can be directly executed and tested.

     Here's a high level background article about an earlier version of
     this work on LWN.net:

        https://lwn.net/Articles/718628/

     The design principles:

      "There is reason to believe that Documentation/memory-barriers.txt
       could use some help, and a major purpose of this patch is to
       provide that help in the form of a design-time tool that can
       produce all valid executions of a small fragment of concurrent
       Linux-kernel code, which is called a "litmus test". This tool's
       functionality is roughly similar to a full state-space search.
       Please note that this is a design-time tool, not useful for
       regression testing. However, we hope that the underlying
       Linux-kernel memory model will be incorporated into other tools
       capable of analyzing large bodies of code for regression-testing
       purposes."

     [...]

      "A second tool is klitmus7, which converts litmus tests to
       loadable kernel modules for direct testing. As with herd7, the
       klitmus7 code is freely available from

         http://diy.inria.fr/sources/index.html

       (and via "git" at https://github.com/herd/herdtools7)"

       founded by Jade Alglave and also including Alan Stern, Andrea
       Parri, and Luc Maranget."

     The LKMM project already found several bugs in Linux locking
     primitives and improved the understanding and the documentation of
     the Linux memory model all around.

   - Add KASAN instrumentation to atomic APIs (Dmitry Vyukov)

   - Add RWSEM API debugging and reorganize the lock debugging Kconfig
     (Waiman Long)

   - ... misc cleanups and other smaller changes"
