Linus Torvalds 4ba1329cbb Urgent RCU pull request for v5.19 
This pull request contains a pair of commits that fix 282d8998e9 ("srcu:
 Prevent expedited GPs and blocking readers from consuming CPU"), which
 was itself a fix to an SRCU expedited grace-period problem that could
 prevent kernel live patching (KLP) from completing.  That SRCU fix for
 KLP introduced large (as in minutes) boot-time delays to embedded Linux
 kernels running on qemu/KVM.  These delays were due to the emulation of
 certain MMIO operations controlling memory layout, which were emulated
 with one expedited grace period per access.  Common configurations
 required thousands of boot-time MMIO accesses, and thus thousands of
 boot-time expedited SRCU grace periods.
 
 In these configurations, the occasional sleeps that allowed KLP to proceed
 caused excessive boot delays.  These commits preserve enough sleeps to
 permit KLP to proceed, but few enough that the virtual embedded kernels
 still boot reasonably quickly.
 
 This represents a regression introduced in the v5.19 merge window,
 and the bug is causing significant inconvenience, hence this pull request.

README 

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.
