Linus Torvalds b115d85a95 Locking changes in v6.4:
- Introduce local{,64}_try_cmpxchg() - a slightly more optimal
    primitive, which will be used in perf events ring-buffer code.
 
  - Simplify/modify rwsems on PREEMPT_RT, to address writer starvation.
 
  - Misc 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.
