Linus Torvalds 6d2c10e889 Scheduler changes for v6.19:
Scalability and load-balancing improvements:
 
   - Enable scheduler feature NEXT_BUDDY (Mel Gorman)
 
   - Reimplement NEXT_BUDDY to align with EEVDF goals (Mel Gorman)
 
   - Skip sched_balance_running cmpxchg when balance is not due (Tim Chen)
 
   - Implement generic code for architecture specific sched domain
     NUMA distances (Tim Chen)
 
   - Optimize the NUMA distances of the sched-domains builds of Intel
     Granite Rapids (GNR) and Clearwater Forest (CWF) platforms
     (Tim Chen)
 
   - Implement proportional newidle balance: a randomized algorithm
     that runs newidle balancing proportional to its success rate.
     (Peter Zijlstra)
 
 Scheduler infrastructure changes:
 
   - Implement the 'sched_change' scoped_guard() pattern for
     the entire scheduler (Peter Zijlstra)
 
   - More broadly utilize the sched_change guard (Peter Zijlstra)
 
   - Add support to pick functions to take runqueue-flags (Joel Fernandes)
 
   - Provide and use set_need_resched_current() (Peter Zijlstra)
 
 Fair scheduling enhancements:
 
   - Forfeit vruntime on yield (Fernand Sieber)
   - Only update stats for allowed CPUs when looking for dst group (Adam Li)
 
 CPU-core scheduling enhancements:

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.
