Linus Torvalds e192832869 Merge branch 'locking-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull locking updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "The main changes in this cycle are:

   - rwsem scalability improvements, phase #2, by Waiman Long, which are
     rather impressive:

       "On a 2-socket 40-core 80-thread Skylake system with 40 reader
        and writer locking threads, the min/mean/max locking operations
        done in a 5-second testing window before the patchset were:

         40 readers, Iterations Min/Mean/Max = 1,807/1,808/1,810
         40 writers, Iterations Min/Mean/Max = 1,807/50,344/151,255

        After the patchset, they became:

         40 readers, Iterations Min/Mean/Max = 30,057/31,359/32,741
         40 writers, Iterations Min/Mean/Max = 94,466/95,845/97,098"

     There's a lot of changes to the locking implementation that makes
     it similar to qrwlock, including owner handoff for more fair
     locking.

     Another microbenchmark shows how across the spectrum the
     improvements are:

       "With a locking microbenchmark running on 5.1 based kernel, the
        total locking rates (in kops/s) on a 2-socket Skylake system
        with equal numbers of readers and writers (mixed) before and
        after this patchset were:

        # of Threads   Before Patch      After Patch
        ------------   ------------      -----------
             2            2,618             4,193
             4            1,202             3,726
             8              802             3,622
            16              729             3,359
            32              319             2,826
            64              102             2,744"

     The changes are extensive and the patch-set has been through
     several iterations addressing various locking workloads. There
     might be more regressions, but unless they are pathological I
     believe we want to use this new implementation as the baseline
     going forward.

   - jump-label optimizations by Daniel Bristot de Oliveira: the primary
     motivation was to remove IPI disturbance of isolated RT-workload
     CPUs, which resulted in the implementation of batched jump-label
     updates. Beyond the improvement of the real-time characteristics
     kernel, in one test this patchset improved static key update
     overhead from 57 msecs to just 1.4 msecs - which is a nice speedup
     as well.

   - atomic64_t cross-arch type cleanups by Mark Rutland: over the last
     ~10 years of atomic64_t existence the various types used by the
     APIs only had to be self-consistent within each architecture -
     which means they became wildly inconsistent across architectures.
     Mark puts and end to this by reworking all the atomic64
     implementations to use 's64' as the base type for atomic64_t, and
     to ensure that this type is consistently used for parameters and
     return values in the API, avoiding further problems in this area.

   - A large set of small improvements to lockdep by Yuyang Du: type
     cleanups, output cleanups, function return type and othr cleanups
     all around the place.

   - A set of percpu ops cleanups and fixes by Peter Zijlstra.

   - Misc other changes - please see the Git log for more details"
