Linus Torvalds 3cf3fabccb Locking changes in this cycle are:
- Futex improvements:
 
     - Add the 'futex2' syscall ABI, which is an attempt to get away from the
       multiplex syscall and adds a little room for extentions, while lifting
       some limitations.
 
     - Fix futex PI recursive rt_mutex waiter state bug
 
     - Fix inter-process shared futexes on no-MMU systems
 
     - Use folios instead of pages
 
  - Micro-optimizations of locking primitives:
 
     - Improve arch_spin_value_unlocked() on asm-generic ticket spinlock
       architectures, to improve lockref code generation.
 
     - Improve the x86-32 lockref_get_not_zero() main loop by adding
       build-time CMPXCHG8B support detection for the relevant lockref code,
       and by better interfacing the CMPXCHG8B assembly code with the compiler.
 
     - Introduce arch_sync_try_cmpxchg() on x86 to improve sync_try_cmpxchg()
       code generation. Convert some sync_cmpxchg() users to sync_try_cmpxchg().
 
     - Micro-optimize rcuref_put_slowpath()
 
  - Locking debuggability improvements:
 
     - Improve CONFIG_DEBUG_RT_MUTEXES=y to have a fast-path as well
 
     - Enforce atomicity of sched_submit_work(), which is de-facto atomic but
       was un-enforced previously.
 
     - Extend <linux/cleanup.h>'s no_free_ptr() with __must_check semantics
 
     - Fix ww_mutex self-tests
 
     - Clean up const-propagation in <linux/seqlock.h> and simplify
       the API-instantiation macros a bit.
 
  - RT locking improvements:
 
     - Provide the rt_mutex_*_schedule() primitives/helpers and use them
       in the rtmutex code to avoid recursion vs. rtlock on the PI state.
 
     - Add nested blocking lockdep asserts to rt_mutex_lock(), rtlock_lock()
       and rwbase_read_lock().
 
  - Plus misc fixes & cleanups
