Subject: [PATCH for 5.9 v2 0/4] FUTEX_SWAP (tip/locking/core)

From: Peter Oskolkov <posk@...gle.com>

This patchset introduces FUTEX_SWAP operation for fast
task context switching (aided by futexes). Detailed
use cases and reasoning are included in the commit message
of the first patch in the patchset.

v1->v2:
- split two #defines in futex.h into a small first patch
- detailed the use cases and reasoning in the commit message
  of the first patch
- renamed wake_up_process_prefer_current_cpu into wake_up_swap.


Peter Oskolkov (4):
  futex: introduce FUTEX_SWAP operation
  futex: implement FUTEX_SWAP as wake+wait.
  futex/sched: add wake_up_swap, use in FUTEX_SWAP
  selftests/futex: add futex_swap selftest
