Merge branch 'locking-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull locking updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "The main changes in this cycle were:

   - Implement wraparound-safe refcount_t and kref_t types based on
     generic atomic primitives (Peter Zijlstra)

   - Improve and fix the ww_mutex code (Nicolai Hähnle)

   - Add self-tests to the ww_mutex code (Chris Wilson)

   - Optimize percpu-rwsems with the 'rcuwait' mechanism (Davidlohr
     Bueso)

   - Micro-optimize the current-task logic all around the core kernel
     (Davidlohr Bueso)

   - Tidy up after recent optimizations: remove stale code and APIs,
     clean up the code (Waiman Long)

   - ... plus misc fixes, updates and cleanups"
