Pull locking updates from Ingo Molar:
"Lock guards:
- Use lock guards in the ptrace code
- Introduce conditional guards to extend to conditional lock
primitives like mutex_trylock()/mutex_lock_interruptible()/etc.
lockdep:
- Optimize 'struct lock_class' to be smaller
- Update file patterns in MAINTAINERS
mutexes:
- Document mutex lifetime rules a bit more"
* tag 'locking-core-2024-01-08' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
locking/mutex: Clarify that mutex_unlock(), and most other sleeping locks, can still use the lock object after it's unlocked
locking/mutex: Document that mutex_unlock() is non-atomic
ptrace: Convert ptrace_attach() to use lock guards
locking/lockdep: Slightly reorder 'struct lock_class' to save some memory
MAINTAINERS: Add include/linux/lockdep*.h
cleanup: Add conditional guard support
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.
