Merge tag 'locking-core-2021-04-28' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull locking updates from Ingo Molnar:

 - rtmutex cleanup & spring cleaning pass that removes ~400 lines of
   code

 - Futex simplifications & cleanups

 - Add debugging to the CSD code, to help track down a tenacious race
   (or hw problem)

 - Add lockdep_assert_not_held(), to allow code to require a lock to not
   be held, and propagate this into the ath10k driver

 - Misc LKMM documentation updates

 - Misc KCSAN updates: cleanups & documentation updates

 - Misc fixes and cleanups

 - Fix locktorture bugs with ww_mutexes
