Linus Torvalds 3f020399e4 Scheduler changes for v6.13:
- Core facilities:
 
     - Add the "Lazy preemption" model (CONFIG_PREEMPT_LAZY=y), which optimizes
       fair-class preemption by delaying preemption requests to the
       tick boundary, while working as full preemption for RR/FIFO/DEADLINE
       classes. (Peter Zijlstra)
 
         - x86: Enable Lazy preemption (Peter Zijlstra)
         - riscv: Enable Lazy preemption (Jisheng Zhang)
 
     - Initialize idle tasks only once (Thomas Gleixner)
 
     - sched/ext: Remove sched_fork() hack (Thomas Gleixner)
 
  - Fair scheduler:
     - Optimize the PLACE_LAG when se->vlag is zero (Huang Shijie)
 
  - Idle loop:
       Optimize the generic idle loop by removing unnecessary
       memory barrier (Zhongqiu Han)
 
  - RSEQ:
     - Improve cache locality of RSEQ concurrency IDs for
       intermittent workloads (Mathieu Desnoyers)
 
  - Waitqueues:
     - Make wake_up_{bit,var} less fragile (Neil Brown)
 
  - PSI:
     - Pass enqueue/dequeue flags to psi callbacks directly (Johannes Weiner)
 
  - Preparatory patches for proxy execution:
     - core: Add move_queued_task_locked helper (Connor O'Brien)
     - core: Consolidate pick_*_task to task_is_pushable helper (Connor O'Brien)
     - core: Split out __schedule() deactivate task logic into a helper (John Stultz)
     - core: Split scheduler and execution contexts (Peter Zijlstra)
     - locking/mutex: Make mutex::wait_lock irq safe (Juri Lelli)
     - locking/mutex: Expose __mutex_owner() (Juri Lelli)
     - locking/mutex: Remove wakeups from under mutex::wait_lock (Peter Zijlstra)
 
  - Misc fixes and cleanups:
     - core: Remove unused __HAVE_THREAD_FUNCTIONS hook support (David Disseldorp)
     - core: Update the comment for TIF_NEED_RESCHED_LAZY (Sebastian Andrzej Siewior)
     - wait: Remove unused bit_wait_io_timeout (Dr. David Alan Gilbert)
     - fair: remove the DOUBLE_TICK feature (Huang Shijie)
     - fair: fix the comment for PREEMPT_SHORT (Huang Shijie)
     - uclamp: Fix unnused variable warning (Christian Loehle)
     - rt: No PREEMPT_RT=y for all{yes,mod}config

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.
