Merge tag 'locking-core-2023-06-27' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull locking updates from Ingo Molnar:
- Introduce cmpxchg128() -- aka. the demise of cmpxchg_double()
The cmpxchg128() family of functions is basically & functionally the
same as cmpxchg_double(), but with a saner interface.
Instead of a 6-parameter horror that forced u128 - u64/u64-halves
layout details on the interface and exposed users to complexity,
fragility & bugs, use a natural 3-parameter interface with u128
types.
- Restructure the generated atomic headers, and add kerneldoc comments
for all of the generic atomic{,64,_long}_t operations.
The generated definitions are much cleaner now, and come with
documentation.
- Implement lock_set_cmp_fn() on lockdep, for defining an ordering when
taking multiple locks of the same type.
This gets rid of one use of lockdep_set_novalidate_class() in the
bcache code.
- Fix raw_cpu_generic_try_cmpxchg() bug due to an unintended variable
shadowing generating garbage code on Clang on certain ARM builds.
