We need
4ba4f1afb6a9 ("perf: Generic hotplug support for a PMU with a scope")
in order to land a i915 PMU simplification and a fix. That landed in 6.12
and we are stuck at 6.9 so lets bump things forward.

"Another moderately busy cycle in docsland:

- Work on Chinese translations has picked up again. Happily, they are
maintaining the existing translations and not just adding new ones.

- Some maintenance of the Japanese and Italian translations as well.

- The removal of the venerable "dontdiff" file. It has long outlived
its usefulness and contained entries ("parse.*") that would
actively mask actual source change.

- The addition of enforcement information to the code-of-conduct
documentation.

Along with some build-system fixes and a lot of typo and language
fixes"

Merge tag 'docs-6.4' of git://git.lwn.net/linux

Pull documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet:
"Commit volume in documentation is relatively low this time, but there
is still a fair amount going on, including:

- Reorganize the architecture-specific documentation under
Documentation/arch

This makes the structure match the source directory and helps to
clean up the mess that is the top-level Documentation directory a
bit. This work creates the new directory and moves x86 and most of
the less-active architectures there.

The current plan is to move the rest of the architectures in 6.5,
with the patches going through the appropriate subsystem trees.

- Some more Spanish translations and maintenance of the Italian
translation

- A new "Kernel contribution maturity model" document from Ted

- A new tutorial on quickly building a trimmed kernel from Thorsten

Plus the usual set of updates and fixes"

Documentation: Add document for false sharing

When doing performance tuning or debugging performance regressions,
more and more cases are found to be related to false sharing [1][2][3],
and the situation can be worse for newer platforms with hundreds of
CPUs. There are already many commits in current kernel specially
for mitigating the performance degradation due to false sharing.

False sharing could harm the performance silently without being
noticed, due to reasons like:
* data members of a big data structure randomly sitting together
in one cache line
* global data of small size are linked compactly together

So it's better to make a simple document about the normal pattern
of false sharing, basic ways to mitigate it and call out to
developers to pay attention during code-writing.
