Linus Torvalds 5780e39edb x86 assembly code improvements for v6.7 are:
- Micro-optimize the x86 bitops code
 - Define target-specific {raw,this}_cpu_try_cmpxchg{64,128}() to improve code generation
 - Define and use raw_cpu_try_cmpxchg() preempt_count_set()
 - Do not clobber %rsi in percpu_{try_,}cmpxchg{64,128}_op
 - Remove the unused __sw_hweight64() implementation on x86-32
 - Misc fixes and cleanups

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.
