Linus Torvalds 586b222d74 Scheduler changes for v6.4:
- Allow unprivileged PSI poll()ing
 
  - Fix performance regression introduced by mm_cid
 
  - Improve livepatch stalls by adding livepatch task switching to cond_resched(),
    this resolves livepatching busy-loop stalls with certain CPU-bound kthreads.
 
  - Improve sched_move_task() performance on autogroup configs.
 
  - On core-scheduling CPUs, avoid selecting throttled tasks to run
 
  - Misc cleanups, fixes and improvements.

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.
