Linus Torvalds 01463374c5 cpu-to-thread_info update for v5.16-rc1
Cross-architecture update to move task_struct::cpu back into thread_info
 on arm64, x86, s390, powerpc, and riscv. All Acked by arch maintainers.
 
 Quoting Ard Biesheuvel:
 
 "Move task_struct::cpu back into thread_info
 
  Keeping CPU in task_struct is problematic for architectures that define
  raw_smp_processor_id() in terms of this field, as it requires
  linux/sched.h to be included, which causes a lot of pain in terms of
  circular dependencies (aka 'header soup')
 
  This series moves it back into thread_info (where it came from) for all
  architectures that enable THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK, addressing the header
  soup issue as well as some pointless differences in the implementations
  of task_cpu() and set_task_cpu()."

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.
