- Plug a load average accounting race which was introduced with a recent
optimization casing load average to show bogus numbers.
- Fix the rseq CPU id initialization for new tasks. sched_fork() does not
update the rseq CPU id so the id is the stale id of the parent task,
which can cause user space data corruption.
- Handle a 0 return value of task_h_load() correctly in the load balancer,
which does not decrease imbalance and therefore pulls until the maximum
number of loops is reached, which might be all tasks just created by a
fork bomb.

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.
