Linus Torvalds ccc5e98177 Power management updates for 6.6-rc1
- Rework the menu and teo cpuidle governors to avoid calling
    tick_nohz_get_sleep_length(), which is likely to become quite
    expensive going forward, too often and improve making decisions
    regarding whether or not to stop the scheduler tick in the teo
    governor (Rafael Wysocki).
 
  - Improve the performance of cpufreq_stats_create_table() in some
    cases (Liao Chang).
 
  - Fix two issues in the amd-pstate-ut cpufreq driver (Swapnil Sapkal).
 
  - Use clamp() helper macro to improve the code readability in
    cpufreq_verify_within_limits() (Liao Chang).
 
  - Set stale CPU frequency to minimum in intel_pstate (Doug Smythies).
 
  - Migrate cpufreq drivers for various platforms to use void remove
    callback (Yangtao Li).
 
  - Add online/offline/exit hooks for Tegra driver (Sumit Gupta).
 
  - Explicitly include correct DT includes in cpufreq (Rob Herring).
 
  - Frequency domain updates for qcom-hw driver (Neil Armstrong).
 
  - Modify AMD pstate driver return the highest_perf value (Meng Li).
 
  - Generic cleanups for cppc, mediatek and powernow driver (Liao Chang,
    Konrad Dybcio).
 
  - Add more platforms to cpufreq-arm driver's blocklist (AngeloGioacchino
    Del Regno and Konrad Dybcio).
 
  - brcmstb-avs-cpufreq: Fix -Warray-bounds bug (Gustavo A. R. Silva).
 
  - Add device PM helpers to allow a device to remain powered-on during
    system-wide transitions (Ulf Hansson).
 
  - Rework hibernation memory snapshotting to avoid storing pages filled
    with zeros in hibernation image files (Brian Geffon).
 
  - Add check to make sure that CPU latency QoS constraints do not use
    negative values (Clive Lin).
 
  - Optimize rp->domains memory allocation in the Intel RAPL power
    capping driver (xiongxin).
 
  - Remove recursion while parsing zones in the arm_scmi power capping
    driver (Cristian Marussi).
 
  - Fix memory leak in devfreq_dev_release() (Boris Brezillon).

    Sadhasivam).
 
  - Explicitly include correct DT includes in devfreq (Rob Herring).

    declaration (YueHaibing).

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.
