"Many great new features, fixes and optimizations, including:
- Convert page table updates to use per-pagetable spinlocks which
overall improves performance on SMP machines a lot, by Mikulas
Patocka
- Kernel debugger (KGDB) support, by Sven Schnelle
- KPROBES support, by Sven Schnelle
- Lots of TLB lock/flush improvements, by Dave Anglin
- Drop DISCONTIGMEM and switch to SPARSEMEM

README
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.
