Linus Torvalds 3b66e6b3c0 cgroup: Changes for v6.16
- cgroup rstat shared the tracking tree across all controlers with the
   rationale being that a cgroup which is using one resource is likely to be
   using other resources at the same time (ie. if something is allocating
   memory, it's probably consuming CPU cycles). However, this turned out to
   not scale very well especially with memcg using rstat for internal
   operations which made memcg stat read and flush patterns substantially
   different from other controllers. JP Kobryn split the rstat tree per
   controller.
 
 - cgroup BPF support was hooking into cgroup init/exit paths directly.
   Convert them to use a notifier chain instead so that other usages can be
   added easily. The two of the patches which implement this are mislabeled
   as belonging to sched_ext instead of cgroup. Sorry.
 
 - Relatively minor cpuset updates.
 
 - Documentation updates.

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.
