* threadgroup_rwsem write locking is skipped when configuring controllers in
empty subtrees. Combined with CLONE_INTO_CGROUP, this allows the common
static usage pattern to not grab threadgroup_rwsem at all (glibc still
doesn't seem ready for CLONE_INTO_CGROUP unfortunately).
* threadgroup_rwsem used to be put into non-percpu mode by default due to
latency concerns in specific use cases. There's no reason for everyone
else to pay for it. Make the behavior optional.
* psi no longer allocates memory when disabled.

cgroup: remove "no" prefixed mount options
cgroup: Make !percpu threadgroup_rwsem operations optional
cgroup: Add "no" prefixed mount options
cgroup: Elide write-locking threadgroup_rwsem when updating csses on an empty subtree
cgroup.c: remove redundant check for mixable cgroup in cgroup_migrate_vet_dst
cgroup.c: add helper __cset_cgroup_from_root to cleanup duplicated codes
psi: dont alloc memory for psi by default
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.
