Pull locking updates from Ingo Molnar:
- Lots of tidying up changes all across the map for Linux's formal
memory/locking-model tooling, by Alan Stern, Akira Yokosawa, Andrea
Parri, Paul E. McKenney and SeongJae Park.
Notable changes beyond an overall update in the tooling itself is the
tidying up of spin_is_locked() semantics, which spills over into the
kernel proper as well.
- qspinlock improvements: the locking algorithm now guarantees forward
progress whereas the previous implementation in mainline could starve
threads indefinitely in cmpxchg() loops. Also other related cleanups
to the qspinlock code (Will Deacon)
- misc smaller improvements, cleanups and fixes all across the locking
subsystem

Pull printk updates from Petr Mladek:
- Add a console_msg_format command line option:
The value "default" keeps the old "[time stamp] text\n" format. The
value "syslog" allows to see the syslog-like "<log
level>[timestamp] text" format.
This feature was requested by people doing regression tests, for
example, 0day robot. They want to have both filtered and full logs
at hands.
- Reduce the risk of softlockup:
Pass the console owner in a busy loop.
This is a new approach to the old problem. It was first proposed by
Steven Rostedt on Kernel Summit 2017. It marks a context in which
the console_lock owner calls console drivers and could not sleep.
On the other side, printk() callers could detect this state and use
a busy wait instead of a simple console_trylock(). Finally, the
console_lock owner checks if there is a busy waiter at the end of
the special context and eventually passes the console_lock to the
waiter.
The hand-off works surprisingly well and helps in many situations.
Well, there is still a possibility of the softlockup, for example,
when the flood of messages stops and the last owner still has too
much to flush.
There is increasing number of people having problems with
printk-related softlockups. We might eventually need to get better
solution. Anyway, this looks like a good start and promising
direction.
- Do not allow to schedule in console_unlock() called from printk():
This reverts an older controversial commit. The reschedule helped
to avoid softlockups. But it also slowed down the console output.
This patch is obsoleted by the new console waiter logic described
above. In fact, the reschedule made the hand-off less effective.
- Deprecate "%pf" and "%pF" format specifier:
It was needed on ia64, ppc64 and parisc64 to dereference function
descriptors and show the real function address. It is done
transparently by "%ps" and "pS" format specifier now.
Sergey Senozhatsky found that all the function descriptors were in
a special elf section and could be easily detected.
- Remove printk_symbol() API:
It has been obsoleted by "%pS" format specifier, and this change
helped to remove few continuous lines and a less intuitive old API.
- Remove redundant memsets:
Sergey removed unnecessary memset when processing printk.devkmsg
command line option.

Pull pin control updates from Linus Walleij:
"This is the bulk of pin control changes for the v4.15 kernel cycle:
Core:
- The pin control Kconfig entry PINCTRL is now turned into a
menuconfig option. This obviously has the implication of making the
subsystem menu visible in menuconfig. This is happening because of
two things:
(a) Intel have started to deploy and depend on pin controllers in
a way that is affecting users directly. This happens on the
highly integrated laptop chipsets named after geographical
places: baytrail, broxton, cannonlake, cedarfork, cherryview,
denverton, geminilake, lewisburg, merrifield, sunrisepoint...
It started a while back and now it is ever more evident that
this is crucial infrastructure for x86 laptops and not an
embedded obscurity anymore. Users need to be aware.
(b) Pin control expanders on I2C and SPI that are arch-agnostic.
Currently Semtech SX150X and Microchip MCP28x08 but more are
expected. Users will have to be able to configure these in
directly for their set-up.
- Just go and select GPIOLIB now that we made sure that GPIOLIB is a
very vanilla subsystem. Do not depend on it, if we need it, select
it.
- Exposing the pin control subsystem in menuconfig uncovered a bunch
of obscure bugs that are now hopefully fixed, all more or less
pertaining to Blackfin.
- Unified namespace for cross-calls between pin control and GPIO.
- New support for clock skew/delay generic DT bindings and generic
pin config options for this.
- Minor documentation improvements.
Various:
- The Renesas SH-PFC pin controller has evolved a lot. It seems
Renesas are churning out new SoCs by the minute.
- A bunch of non-critical fixes for the Rockchip driver.
- Improve the use of library functions instead of open coding.
- Support the MCP28018 variant in the MCP28x08 driver.
- Static constifying"

lockless_dereference() is a nice idea, but it gained little traction in
kernel code since its introduction three years ago. This is partly
because it's a pain to type, but also because using READ_ONCE() instead
has worked correctly on all architectures apart from Alpha, which is a
fully supported but somewhat niche architecture these days.
Now that READ_ONCE() has been upgraded to contain an implicit
smp_read_barrier_depends() and the few callers of lockless_dereference()
have been converted, we can remove lockless_dereference() altogether.

The pinctrl_request_gpio() and pinctrl_free_gpio() break the nice
namespacing in the other cross-calls like pinctrl_gpio_foo().
Just rename them and all references so we have one namespace
with all cross-calls under pinctrl_gpio_*().
