Linus Torvalds 9a7e0a90a4 Scheduler updates:
- Revert the printk format based wchan() symbol resolution as it can leak
    the raw value in case that the symbol is not resolvable.
 
  - Make wchan() more robust and work with all kind of unwinders by
    enforcing that the task stays blocked while unwinding is in progress.
 
  - Prevent sched_fork() from accessing an invalid sched_task_group
 
  - Improve asymmetric packing logic
 
  - Extend scheduler statistics to RT and DL scheduling classes and add
    statistics for bandwith burst to the SCHED_FAIR class.
 
  - Properly account SCHED_IDLE entities
 
  - Prevent a potential deadlock when initial priority is assigned to a
    newly created kthread. A recent change to plug a race between cpuset and
    __sched_setscheduler() introduced a new lock dependency which is now
    triggered. Break the lock dependency chain by moving the priority
    assignment to the thread function.
 
  - Fix the idle time reporting in /proc/uptime for NOHZ enabled systems.
 
  - Improve idle balancing in general and especially for NOHZ enabled
    systems.
 
  - Provide proper interfaces for live patching so it does not have to
    fiddle with scheduler internals.
 
  - Add cluster aware scheduling support.
 
  - A small set of tweaks for RT (irqwork, wait_task_inactive(), various
    scheduler options and delaying mmdrop)
 
  - The usual small tweaks and improvements all over the place

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.
