Pull locking fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
 "Two small fixes:

   - Cure a recently introduces error path hickup which tries to
     unregister a not registered lockdep key in te workqueue code

   - Prevent unaligned cmpxchg() crashes in the robust list handling
     code by sanity checking the user space supplied futex pointer"

* 'locking-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
  futex: Ensure that futex address is aligned in handle_futex_death()
  workqueue: Only unregister a registered lockdep key

History
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.
