Linus Torvalds 7f6dcffb44 Preempt RT cleanups:
Introduce preempt_[dis|enable_nested() and use it to clean up
  various places which have open coded PREEMPT_RT conditionals.
 
  On PREEMPT_RT enabled kernels, spinlocks and rwlocks are neither disabling
  preemption nor interrupts. Though there are a few places which depend on
  the implicit preemption/interrupt disable of those locks, e.g. seqcount
  write sections, per CPU statistics updates etc.
 
  PREEMPT_RT added open coded CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT conditionals to
  disable/enable preemption in the related code parts all over the
  place. That's hard to read and does not really explain why this is
  necessary.
 
  Linus suggested to use helper functions (preempt_disable_nested() and
  preempt_enable_nested()) and use those in the affected places. On !RT
  enabled kernels these functions are NOPs, but contain a lockdep assert to
  validate that preemption is actually disabled to catch call sites which
  do not have preemption disabled.
 
  Clean up the affected code paths in mm, dentry and lib.

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.
