Pull locking updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "This was a fairly quiet cycle for the locking subsystem:

   - lockdep: Fix a handful of the more complex lockdep_init_map_*()
     primitives that can lose the lock_type & cause false reports. No
     such mishap was observed in the wild.

   - jump_label improvements: simplify the cross-arch support of initial
     NOP patching by making it arch-specific code (used on MIPS only),
     and remove the s390 initial NOP patching that was superfluous"

  locking/lockdep: Fix lockdep_init_map_*() confusion
  jump_label: make initial NOP patching the special case
  jump_label: mips: move module NOP patching into arch code
  jump_label: s390: avoid pointless initial NOP patching

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.

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.
