Merge branch 'linus' into perf/kprobes
Conflicts: include/asm-generic/atomic-instrumented.h kernel/kprobes.c Use the upstream atomic-instrumented.h checksum, and pick the kprobes version of kernel/kprobes.c, which effectively reverts this upstream workaround: 645f224e7ba2: ("kprobes: Tell lockdep about kprobe nesting") Since the new code *should* be fine without nesting. Knock on wood ... Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>
