- Futex improvements:
- Add the 'futex2' syscall ABI, which is an attempt to get away from the
multiplex syscall and adds a little room for extentions, while lifting
some limitations.
- Fix futex PI recursive rt_mutex waiter state bug
- Fix inter-process shared futexes on no-MMU systems
- Use folios instead of pages
- Micro-optimizations of locking primitives:
- Improve arch_spin_value_unlocked() on asm-generic ticket spinlock
architectures, to improve lockref code generation.
- Improve the x86-32 lockref_get_not_zero() main loop by adding
build-time CMPXCHG8B support detection for the relevant lockref code,
and by better interfacing the CMPXCHG8B assembly code with the compiler.
- Introduce arch_sync_try_cmpxchg() on x86 to improve sync_try_cmpxchg()
code generation. Convert some sync_cmpxchg() users to sync_try_cmpxchg().
- Micro-optimize rcuref_put_slowpath()
- Locking debuggability improvements:
- Improve CONFIG_DEBUG_RT_MUTEXES=y to have a fast-path as well
- Enforce atomicity of sched_submit_work(), which is de-facto atomic but
was un-enforced previously.
- Extend <linux/cleanup.h>'s no_free_ptr() with __must_check semantics
- Fix ww_mutex self-tests
- Clean up const-propagation in <linux/seqlock.h> and simplify
the API-instantiation macros a bit.
- RT locking improvements:
- Provide the rt_mutex_*_schedule() primitives/helpers and use them
in the rtmutex code to avoid recursion vs. rtlock on the PI state.
- Add nested blocking lockdep asserts to rt_mutex_lock(), rtlock_lock()
and rwbase_read_lock().
- Plus misc fixes & cleanups

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.
