Linus Torvalds 311e062ad5 CSD-lock diagnostic updates for v6.13
This commit switches from sched_clock() to ktime_get_mono_fast_ns(), which
 on x86 switches from the rdtsc instruction to the rdtscp instruction,
 thus avoiding instruction reorderings that cause false-positive reports
 of CSD-lock stalls of almost 2^46 nanoseconds.  These false positives
 are rare, but really are seen in the wild.

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 reStructuredText 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.
