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.

For each CPU hotplug event, we will update per-CPU data slice size and corresponding PCP configuration for every online CPU to make the implementation simple. But, Kyle reported that this takes tens seconds during boot on a machine with 34 zones and 3840 CPUs. So, in this patch, for each CPU hotplug event, we only update per-CPU data slice size and corresponding PCP configuration for the CPUs that share caches with the hotplugged CPU. With the patch, the system boot time reduces 67 seconds on the machine.
