Linus Torvalds 1f2d9ffc7a Scheduler updates in this cycle are:
- Improve the scalability of the CFS bandwidth unthrottling logic
    with large number of CPUs.
 
  - Fix & rework various cpuidle routines, simplify interaction with
    the generic scheduler code. Add __cpuidle methods as noinstr to
    objtool's noinstr detection and fix boatloads of cpuidle bugs & quirks.
 
  - Add new ABI: introduce MEMBARRIER_CMD_GET_REGISTRATIONS,
    to query previously issued registrations.
 
  - Limit scheduler slice duration to the sysctl_sched_latency period,
    to improve scheduling granularity with a large number of SCHED_IDLE
    tasks.
 
  - Debuggability enhancement on sys_exit(): warn about disabled IRQs,
    but also enable them to prevent a cascade of followup problems and
    repeat warnings.
 
  - Fix the rescheduling logic in prio_changed_dl().
 
  - Micro-optimize cpufreq and sched-util methods.
 
  - Micro-optimize ttwu_runnable()
 
  - Micro-optimize the idle-scanning in update_numa_stats(),
    select_idle_capacity() and steal_cookie_task().
 
  - Update the RSEQ code & self-tests
 
  - Constify various scheduler methods
 
  - Remove unused methods
 
  - Refine __init tags
 
  - Documentation updates
 
  - ... Misc other cleanups, fixes

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.
