Subject: [GIT PULL] livepatching for 4.16

Linus,

please pull from

  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jikos/livepatching.git for-linus

to receive livepatching updates for 4.16:

=====
- handling of 'infinitely'-long sleeping tasks, from Miroslav Benes
- removal of 'immediate' feature, as it turns out it doesn't provide
  the originally expected semantics, and brings more issues than value
=====

Thanks.

----------------------------------------------------------------
Miroslav Benes (4):
      livepatch: send a fake signal to all blocking tasks
      livepatch: force transition to finish
      livepatch: Remove immediate feature
      livepatch: add locking to force and signal functions
