    Linus Torvalds authored
    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"
