Linus Torvalds 4357f03d66 Power management fixes for 5.15-rc2
- Prevent intel_pstate from avoiding to use HWP, even if instructed
    to do so via the kernel command line, when HWP has been enabled
    already by the platform firmware (Doug Smythies).
 
  - Prevent use-after-free from occurring in the schedutil cpufreq
    governor on exit by fixing a core helper function that attempts
    to access memory associated with a kobject after calling
    kobject_put() on it (James Morse).

Merge tag 'pm-5.15-rc2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm

Pull power management fixes from Rafael Wysocki:
 "These fix two cpufreq issues, one in the intel_pstate driver and one
  in the core.

  Specifics:

   - Prevent intel_pstate from avoiding to use HWP, even if instructed
     to do so via the kernel command line, when HWP has been enabled
     already by the platform firmware (Doug Smythies).

   - Prevent use-after-free from occurring in the schedutil cpufreq
     governor on exit by fixing a core helper function that attempts to
     access memory associated with a kobject after calling kobject_put()
     on it (James Morse)"

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.
