Merge tag 'locking-core-2021-02-17' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull locking updates from Ingo Molnar:
"Core locking primitives updates:
- Remove mutex_trylock_recursive() from the API - no users left
- Simplify + constify the futex code a bit
Lockdep updates:
- Teach lockdep about local_lock_t
- Add CONFIG_DEBUG_IRQFLAGS=y debug config option to check for
potentially unsafe IRQ mask restoration patterns. (I.e.
calling raw_local_irq_restore() with IRQs enabled.)
- Add wait context self-tests
- Fix graph lock corner case corrupting internal data structures
- Fix noinstr annotations
LKMM updates:
- Simplify the litmus tests
- Documentation fixes
KCSAN updates:
- Re-enable KCSAN instrumentation in lib/random32.c
Misc fixes:
- Don't branch-trace static label APIs
- DocBook fix
- Remove stale leftover empty file"
