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 reStructuredText 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.

In __tracing_open(), when max latency tracers took place on the cpu, the time start of its buffer would be updated, then event entries with timestamps being earlier than start of the buffer would be skipped (see tracing_iter_reset()). Softlockup will occur if the kernel is non-preemptible and too many entries were skipped in the loop that reset every cpu buffer, so add cond_resched() to avoid it.
