Linus Torvalds 60056060be The biggest change to core locking facilities in this cycle is the introduction
of local_lock_t - this primitive comes from the -rt project and identifies
 CPU-local locking dependencies normally handled opaquely beind preempt_disable()
 or local_irq_save/disable() critical sections.
 
 The generated code on mainline kernels doesn't change as a result, but still there
 are benefits: improved debugging and better documentation of data structure
 accesses.
 
 The new local_lock_t primitives are introduced and then utilized in a couple of
 kernel subsystems. No change in functionality is intended.
 
 There's also other smaller changes and cleanups.

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.
