Merge tag 'for-linus-2020-07-02' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/brauner/linux

Pull data race annotation from Christian Brauner:
 "This contains an annotation patch for a data race in copy_process()
  reported by KCSAN when reading and writing nr_threads.

  The data race is intentional and benign. This is obvious from the
  comment above the relevant code and based on general consensus when
  discussing this issue. So simply using data_race() to annotate this as
  an intentional race seems the best option"
