Linus Torvalds 63ce50fff9 Scheduler changes for v6.7 are:
- Fair scheduler (SCHED_OTHER) improvements:
 
     - Remove the old and now unused SIS_PROP code & option
     - Scan cluster before LLC in the wake-up path
     - Use candidate prev/recent_used CPU if scanning failed for cluster wakeup
 
  - NUMA scheduling improvements:
 
     - Improve the VMA access-PID code to better skip/scan VMAs
     - Extend tracing to cover VMA-skipping decisions

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.
