- LKMM updates: mostly documentation changes, but also some new litmus tests for atomic ops.
- KCSAN updates: the most important change is that GCC 11 now has all fixes in place
to support KCSAN, so GCC support can be enabled again. Also more annotations.
- futex updates: minor cleanups and simplifications
- seqlock updates: merge preparatory changes/cleanups for the 'associated locks' facilities.
- lockdep updates:
- simplify IRQ trace event handling
- add various new debug checks
- simplify header dependencies, split out <linux/lockdep_types.h>, decouple
lockdep from other low level headers some more
- fix NMI handling
- misc cleanups and smaller fixes
