Linus Torvalds d479c5a191 The changes in this cycle are:
- Optimize the task wakeup CPU selection logic, to improve scalability and
    reduce wakeup latency spikes
 
  - PELT enhancements
 
  - CFS bandwidth handling fixes
 
  - Optimize the wakeup path by remove rq->wake_list and replacing it with ->ttwu_pending
 
  - Optimize IPI cross-calls by making flush_smp_call_function_queue()
    process sync callbacks first.
 
  - Misc fixes and enhancements.

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.
