- LKMM updates: mostly documentation changes, but also some new litmus tests for atomic ops.
- KCSAN updates: the most important change is that GCC 11 now has all fixes in place
to support KCSAN, so GCC support can be enabled again. Also more annotations.
- futex updates: minor cleanups and simplifications
- seqlock updates: merge preparatory changes/cleanups for the 'associated locks' facilities.
- lockdep updates:
- simplify IRQ trace event handling
- add various new debug checks
- simplify header dependencies, split out <linux/lockdep_types.h>, decouple
lockdep from other low level headers some more
- fix NMI handling
- misc cleanups and smaller 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.
