Linus Torvalds 39e34e88ec Merge tag 'wq-for-7.3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq
Pull workqueue updates from Tejun Heo:

 - Worker wakeups moved out of pool->lock on the hot paths, shortening
   lock hold times. The wakeup can be expensive on arm64 due to the idle
   wakeup IPI, and the change improves the workqueue microbenchmark
   there by up to 10%

 - Stall diagnostics now report pools stuck with no running worker, with
   a backtrace of what the CPU is executing and the likely culprit
   worker, instead of dumping every in-flight worker

 - Preparation for turning per-cpu workqueues into an affinity scope of
   unbound workqueues instead of a separate backend

 - Race annotations for KCSAN and sparse warnings, and doc and
   monitoring script fixes
