Linus Torvalds 635de956a7 The x86 MM changes in this cycle were:
- Implement concurrent TLB flushes, which overlaps the local TLB flush with the
    remote TLB flush. In testing this improved sysbench performance measurably by
    a couple of percentage points, especially if TLB-heavy security mitigations
    are active.
 
  - Further micro-optimizations to improve the performance of TLB flushes.

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.
