mainlining shenanigans
2da2ca24a3
Pull locking fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
"A set of fixes and updates for the locking code:
- Prevent lockdep from updating irq state within its own code and
thereby confusing itself.
- Buid fix for older GCCs which mistreat anonymous unions
- Add a missing lockdep annotation in down_read_non_onwer() which
causes up_read_non_owner() to emit a lockdep splat
- Remove the custom alpha dec_and_lock() implementation which is
incorrect in terms of ordering and use the generic one.
The remaining two commits are not strictly fixes. They provide irqsave
variants of atomic_dec_and_lock() and refcount_dec_and_lock(). These
are required to merge the relevant updates and cleanups into different
maintainer trees for 4.19, so routing them into mainline without
actual users is the sanest approach.
They should have been in -rc1, but last weekend I took the liberty to
just avoid computers in order to regain some mental sanity"

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
