Pull percpu updates from Dennis Zhou: - scan hint update which helps address performance issues with heavily fragmented blocks - lockdep fix when freeing an allocation causes balance work to be scheduled * 'for-5.2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dennis/percpu: percpu: remove spurious lock dependency between percpu and sched percpu: use chunk scan_hint to skip some scanning percpu: convert chunk hints to be based on pcpu_block_md percpu: make pcpu_block_md generic percpu: use block scan_hint to only scan forward percpu: remember largest area skipped during allocation percpu: add block level scan_hint percpu: set PCPU_BITMAP_BLOCK_SIZE to PAGE_SIZE percpu: relegate chunks unusable when failing small allocations percpu: manage chunks based on contig_bits instead of free_bytes percpu: introduce helper to determine if two regions overlap percpu: do not search past bitmap when allocating an area percpu: update free path with correct new free region
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.
