Merge branch 'locking-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull locking fixes from Ingo Molnar:
 "Misc fixes:

   - Fix a S390 boot hang that was caused by the lock-break logic.
     Remove lock-break to begin with, as review suggested it was
     unreasonably fragile and our confidence in its continued good
     health is lower than our confidence in its removal.

   - Remove the lockdep cross-release checking code for now, because of
     unresolved false positive warnings. This should make lockdep work
     well everywhere again.

   - Get rid of the final (and single) ACCESS_ONCE() straggler and
     remove the API from v4.15.

   - Fix a liblockdep build warning"

* 'locking-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:

-	default n
-	help
-	 The lockdep "cross-release" feature needs to record stack traces
-	 (of calling functions) for all acquisitions, for eventual later
-	 use during analysis. By default only a single caller is recorded,
-	 because the unwind operation can be very expensive with deeper
-	 stack chains.
-
-	 However a boot parameter, crossrelease_fullstack, was
-	 introduced since sometimes deeper traces are required for full
-	 analysis. This option turns on the boot parameter.
