Subject: [GIT PULL] locking changes for v4.17

Linus,

Please pull the latest locking-core-for-linus git tree from:

   git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip.git locking-core-for-linus

   # HEAD: 19193bcad8dced863f2f720b1a76110bda07c970 locking/Kconfig: Restructure the lock debugging menu

The main changes in the locking subsystem in this cycle were:

 - Add the Linux Kernel Memory Consistency Model (LKMM) subsystem, which is an
   an array of tools in tools/memory-model/ that formally describe the Linux
   memory coherency model (a.k.a. Documentation/memory-barriers.txt), and also 
   produce 'litmus tests' in form of kernel code which can be directly executed 
   and tested.

   Here's a high level background article about an earlier version of this work on 
   LWN.net:

      https://lwn.net/Articles/718628/

   The design principles:

    "There is some reason to believe that Documentation/memory-barriers.txt
     could use some help, and a major purpose of this patch is to provide
     that help in the form of a design-time tool that can produce all valid
     executions of a small fragment of concurrent Linux-kernel code, which is
     called a "litmus test".  This tool's functionality is roughly similar to
     a full state-space search.  Please note that this is a design-time tool,
     not useful for regression testing.  However, we hope that the underlying
     Linux-kernel memory model will be incorporated into other tools capable
     of analyzing large bodies of code for regression-testing purposes."

     [...]

    "A second tool is klitmus7, which converts litmus tests to loadable
     kernel modules for direct testing.  As with herd7, the klitmus7
     code is freely available from http://diy.inria.fr/sources/index.html
     (and via "git" at https://github.com/herd/herdtools7)."

    [...]

    Credits go to:

    "This patch was the result of a most excellent collaboration founded
     by Jade Alglave and also including Alan Stern, Andrea Parri, and Luc Maranget."

    ... and to the gents listed in the MAINTAINERS entry:

        M:      "Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@...ux.vnet.ibm.com>

   The LKMM project already found several bugs in Linux locking primitives and 
   improved the understanding and the documentation of the Linux memory model all 
   around.

 - Add KASAN instrumentation to atomic APIs (Dmitry Vyukov)

 - Add RWSEM API debugging and reorganize the lock debugging Kconfig (Waiman Long)

 - ... misc cleanups and other smaller changes.

 Thanks,

	Ingo
