Merged for #Linux #kernel 6.7:
The 'futex2' syscall ABI, which is an attempt to get away from the multiplex syscall and adds a little room for extentions, while lifting some limitations.
For details about this new "fast user-space mutex" ABI and the three syscalls added for it, see https://lwn.net/Articles/940944/ and this patch series: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20230921104505.717750284@noisy.programming.kicks-ass.net/
The new ABI was merged as part of the locking changes for #LinuxKernel 6.7: https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/3cf3fabccb9dc821ffaec3ad6bf0cd6b278bd012
