[GIT PULL] locking changes for v3.10

From: Ingo Molnar
Date: Mon Apr 29 2013 - 09:10:51 EST

Linus,

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

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

HEAD: 2c522836627c6e78660f8bd52cdb4cdcb75e3e3c lockdep: Consolidate bug messages into a single print_lockdep_off() function

The most noticeable change are mutex speedups from Waiman Long, for higher
loads. These scalability changes should be most noticeable on larger
server systems.

There are also cleanups, fixes and debuggability improvements.

Thanks,

Ingo

------------------>
Dave Jones (2):
lockdep: Print out additional debugging advice when we hit lockdep BUGs
lockdep: Consolidate bug messages into a single print_lockdep_off() function

Hong Zhiguo (1):
lockdep: Remove unnecessary 'hlock_next' variable

Sasha Levin (1):
locking/rtmutex/tester: Set correct permissions on sysfs files

Waiman Long (4):
mutex: Move mutex spinning code from sched/core.c back to mutex.c
mutex: Make more scalable by doing less atomic operations
mutex: Queue mutex spinners with MCS lock to reduce cacheline contention
mutex: Back out architecture specific check for negative mutex count
