- Documentation updates.
- Miscellaneous fixes.
- kfree_rcu() updates: Addition of mem_dump_obj() to provide allocator return
addresses to more easily locate bugs. This has a couple of RCU-related commits,
but is mostly MM. Was pulled in with akpm's agreement.
- Per-callback-batch tracking of numbers of callbacks,
which enables better debugging information and smarter
reactions to large numbers of callbacks.
- The first round of changes to allow CPUs to be runtime switched from and to
callback-offloaded state.
- CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT-related changes.
- RCU CPU stall warning updates.
- Addition of polling grace-period APIs for SRCU.
- Torture-test and torture-test scripting updates, including a "torture everything"
script that runs rcutorture, locktorture, scftorture, rcuscale, and refscale.
Plus does an allmodconfig build.
- nolibc fixes for the torture tests

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.
