Linus Torvalds 9819f682e4 A set of scheduler updates:
- Prevent PSI state corruption when schedule() races with cgroup move.  A
    recent commit combined two PSI callbacks to reduce the number of cgroup
    tree updates, but missed that schedule() can drop rq::lock for load
    balancing, which opens the race window for cgroup_move_task() which then
    observes half updated state. The fix is to solely use task::ps_flags
    instead of looking at the potentially mismatching scheduler state
 
  - Prevent an out-of-bounds access in uclamp caused bu a rounding division
    which can lead to an off-by-one error exceeding the buckets array size.
 
  - Prevent unfairness caused by missing load decay when a task is attached
    to a cfs runqueue. The old load of the task is attached to the runqueue
    and never removed. Fix it by enforcing the load update through the
    hierarchy for unthrottled run queue instances.
 
  - A documentation fix fot the 'sched_verbose' command line option

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.
