As suggested by Linus, this drops the six_lock_state union in favor of raw bitmasks. On the one hand, bitfields give more type-level structure to the code. However, a significant amount of the code was working with six_lock_state as a u64/atomic64_t, and the conversions from the bitfields to the u64 were deemed a bit too out-there. More significantly, because bitfield order is poorly defined (#ifdef __LITTLE_ENDIAN_BITFIELD can be used, but is gross), incrementing the sequence number would overflow into the rest of the bitfield if the compiler didn't put the sequence number at the high end of the word. The new code is a bit saner when we're on an architecture without real atomic64_t support - all accesses to lock->state now go through atomic64_*() operations. On architectures with real atomic64_t support, we additionally use atomic bit ops for setting/clearing individual bits. Text size: 7467 bytes -> 4649 bytes - compilers still suck at bitfields.

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.
