Linus Torvalds 7d20dd3294 x86/apic related update:
- A single commit which reduces cacheline misses in
     __x2apic_send_IPI_mask() significantly by converting
     x86_cpu_to_logical_apicid() to an array instead of using per CPU
     storage. This reduces the cost for a full broadcast on a dual socket
     system with 256 CPUs from 33 down to 11 microseconds.

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.
