- Core locking & atomics: - Convert all architectures to ARCH_ATOMIC: move every architecture to ARCH_ATOMIC, then get rid of ARCH_ATOMIC and all the transitory facilities and #ifdefs. Much reduction in complexity from that series: 63 files changed, 756 insertions(+), 4094 deletions(-) - Self-test enhancements - Futexes: - Add the new FUTEX_LOCK_PI2 ABI, which is a variant that doesn't set FLAGS_CLOCKRT (.e. uses CLOCK_MONOTONIC). [ The temptation to repurpose FUTEX_LOCK_PI's implicit setting of FLAGS_CLOCKRT & invert the flag's meaning to avoid having to introduce a new variant was resisted successfully. ] - Enhance futex self-tests - Lockdep: - Fix dependency path printouts - Optimize trace saving - Broaden & fix wait-context checks - Misc cleanups and fixes.
