Subject[PATCH 0/5] locking: Use acquire/release semantics
Date
Changes from v2:
o Rename patch titles (per Linus), slight changelog
rephrasing.

Hi,

This series continues porting users to Will's new _{acquire|release|relaxed}
optimizations for weakly ordered archs -- and in practice, arm64 being the only
actual user we have, thus could use a _lot_ more testing. While we have osq in
-tip recently, along with Waiman's one for native qspinlock, the following
patches pretty much complete the move over for all things kernel/locking/*.
Of course, particular primitives can be found in the obvious patch titles. Note
that patch 1 adds the necessary machinery to fully support some locks, such as
rwsems.

Compiles on x86 and x86-64.

Thanks!
