Linus Torvalds 01d5b167dc Modules changes for 6.15-rc1
- Use RCU instead of RCU-sched
 
   The mix of rcu_read_lock(), rcu_read_lock_sched() and preempt_disable()
   in the module code and its users has been replaced with just
   rcu_read_lock().
 
 - The rest of changes are smaller fixes and updates.
 
 The changes have been on linux-next for at least 2 weeks, with the RCU
 cleanup present for 2 months. One performance problem was reported with the
 RCU change when KASAN + lockdep were enabled, but it was effectively
 addressed by the already merged ee57ab5a32 ("locking/lockdep: Disable
 KASAN instrumentation of lockdep.c").

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 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.
