Pull locking fixes from Ingo Molnar:

 - Fix FUT_OFF_MMSHARED futex hashing bug that can cause
   missed wakeups or spurious wakeups on futex-waiting
   tasks (Jann Horn)

 - Fix lockdep context tracking bug in the deferred hrtimer
   rearming entry code, which causes a lockdep chain leak
   that will eventually turn lockdep off (Mikhail Gavrilov)

* tag 'locking-urgent-2026-10-18' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
  entry: Account the deferred hrtimer rearm as hardirq context for lockdep
  futex: Fix mm reuse handling for FUT_OFF_MMSHARED
