The main change is to build the cache topology information for all
the CPUs from the primary CPU. Currently the cacheinfo for secondary CPUs
is created during the early boot on the respective CPU itself. Preemption
and interrupts are disabled at this stage. On PREEMPT_RT kernels, allocating
memory and even parsing the PPTT table for ACPI based systems triggers a:
'BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context'
To prevent this bug, the cacheinfo is now allocated from the primary CPU
when preemption and interrupts are enabled and before booting secondary
CPUs. The cache levels/leaves are computed from DT/ACPI PPTT information
only, without relying on any architecture specific mechanism if done so
early.
The other minor change included here is to handle shared caches at
different levels when not all the CPUs on the system have the same
cache hierarchy.

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.
