Pull lockdep fix from Thomas Gleixner: "A RT fix for lockdep. lockdep invokes prandom_u32() to create cookies. This worked until prandom_u32() was switched to the real random generator, which takes a spinlock for extraction, which does not work on RT when invoked from atomic contexts. lockdep has no requirement for real random numbers and it turns out sched_clock() is good enough to create the cookie. That works everywhere and is faster" * tag 'locking-urgent-2022-06-19' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: locking/lockdep: Use sched_clock() for random numbers
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
