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:

   - Continued user-access cleanups in the futex code.

   - percpu-rwsem rewrite that uses its own waitqueue and atomic_t
     instead of an embedded rwsem. This addresses a couple of
     weaknesses, but the primary motivation was complications on the -rt
     kernel.

   - Introduce raw lock nesting detection on lockdep
     (CONFIG_PROVE_RAW_LOCK_NESTING=y), document the raw_lock vs. normal
     lock differences. This too originates from -rt.

   - Reuse lockdep zapped chain_hlocks entries, to conserve RAM
     footprint on distro-ish kernels running into the "BUG:
     MAX_LOCKDEP_CHAIN_HLOCKS too low!" depletion of the lockdep
     chain-entries pool.

   - Misc cleanups, smaller fixes and enhancements - see the changelog
     for details"
