Linus Torvalds 990e798d18 The recent expansion of the sched switch tracepoint inserted a new argument
in the middle of the arguments. This reordering broke BPF programs which
 relied on the old argument list. While tracepoints are not considered
 stable ABI, it's not trivial to make BPF cope with such a change, but it's
 being worked on. For now restore the original argument order and move the
 new argument to the end of the argument list.

README

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.
