Linus Torvalds 90450a0616 RCU fixes for v6.7
* Fix a lock inversion between scheduler and RCU introduced
   in v6.2-rc4. The scenario could trigger on any user of RCU_NOCB
   (mostly Android and also nohz_full).
 
 * Fix PF_IDLE semantic changes introduced in v6.6-rc3 breaking some
   RCU-Tasks and RCU-Tasks-Trace expectations as to what exactly is
   an idle task. This resulted in potential spurious stalls and
   warnings.

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.
