Linus Torvalds ea66bf8653 - Fix scheduler frequency invariance bug related to overly long tickless periods
triggering an integer overflow and disabling the feature.
 
 - Fix use-after-free bug in dup_user_cpus_ptr().
 
 - Fix do_set_cpus_allowed() deadlock scenarios related to calling kfree() with
   the pi_lock held. NOTE: the rcu_free() is the 'lazy' solution here - we looked
   at patches to free the structure after the pi_lock got dropped, but that looked
   quite a bit messier - and none of this is truly performance critical. We can
   revisit this if it's too lazy of a solution ...

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.
