Ingo Molnar 45fd808091 perf/urgent improvements and fixes:
Intel PT sql viewer: (Adrian Hunter)
 
 - Fall back to /usr/local/lib/libxed.so
 - Add Selected branches report
 - Add help window
 - Fix table find when table re-ordered
 
 Intel PT debug log (Adrian Hunter)
 
 - Add more event information
 - Add MTC and CYC timestamps
 
 perf record: (Andi Kleen)
 
 - Support weak groups, just like with 'perf stat'
 
 perf trace: (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
 
 - Start augmenting raw_syscalls:{sys_enter,sys_exit}: goal is to have a
   generic, arch independent eBPF kernel component that is programmed with
   syscall table details, what to copy, how many bytes, pid, arg filters from the
   userspace via eBPF maps by the 'perf trace' tool that continues to use all its
   argument beautifiers, just taking advantage of the extra pointer contents.
 
 JVMTI: (Gustavo Romero)
 
 - Fix undefined symbol scnprintf in libperf-jvmti.so
 
 perf top: (Jin Yao)
 
 - Display the LBR stats in callchain entries
 
 perf stat: (Thomas Richter)
 
 - Handle different PMU names with common prefix
 
 arm64: Will (Deacon)
 
 - Fix arm64 tools build failure wrt smp_load_{acquire,release}.

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.
