- The majority of the changes are for fixes and clean ups.
Noticeable changes:
- Rework trace event triggers code to be easier to interact with.
- Support for embedding bootconfig with the kernel (as suppose to having it
embedded in initram). This is useful for embedded boards without initram
disks.
- Speed up boot by parallelizing the creation of tracefs files.
- Allow absolute ring buffer timestamps handle timestamps that use more than
59 bits.
- Added new tracing clock "TAI" (International Atomic Time)
- Have weak functions show up in available_filter_function list as:
__ftrace_invalid_address___<invalid-offset>
instead of using the name of the function before it.

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.
