Merge branch 'locking-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull locking fixes from Ingo Molnar:
 "The main change is the uninlining of large refcount_t APIs, plus a
  header dependency fix.

  Note that the uninlining allowed us to enable the underflow/overflow
  warnings unconditionally and remove the debug Kconfig switch: this
  might trigger new warnings in buggy code and turn
  crashes/use-after-free bugs into less harmful memory leaks"

* 'locking-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
  locking/refcounts: Add missing kernel.h header to have UINT_MAX defined
  locking/refcounts: Out-of-line everything

-	  Say Y here if you want reference counters (refcount_t and kref) to
-	  generate WARNs on dubious usage. Without this refcount_t will still
-	  be a saturating counter and avoid Use-After-Free by turning it into
-	  a resource leak Denial-Of-Service.

-	  Use of this option will increase kernel text size but will alert the
-	  admin of potential abuse.
-
-	  If in doubt, say "N".
