Merge branch 'core-locking-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull core locking changes from Ingo Molnar: "The biggest change is the rwsem lock-steal improvements, both to the assembly optimized and the spinlock based variants. The other notable change is the clean up of the seqlock implementation to be based on the seqcount infrastructure. The rest is assorted smaller debuggability, cleanup and continued -rt locking changes." * 'core-locking-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: rwsem-spinlock: Implement writer lock-stealing for better scalability futex: Revert "futex: Mark get_robust_list as deprecated" generic: Use raw local irq variant for generic cmpxchg lockdep: Selftest: convert spinlock to raw spinlock seqlock: Use seqcount infrastructure seqlock: Remove unused functions ntp: Make ntp_lock raw intel_idle: Convert i7300_idle_lock to raw_spinlock locking: Various static lock initializer fixes lockdep: Print more info when MAX_LOCK_DEPTH is exceeded rwsem: Implement writer lock-stealing for better scalability lockdep: Silence warning if CONFIG_LOCKDEP isn't set watchdog: Use local_clock for get_timestamp() lockdep: Rename print_unlock_inbalance_bug() to print_unlock_imbalance_bug() locking/stat: Fix a typo
