Linus Torvalds 56f8145839 perf tools fixes for v6.2: 1st batch
- Fix segfault when trying to process tracepoints present in a perf.data file
   and not linked with libtraceevent.
 
 - Fix build on uClibc systems by adding missing sys/types.h include, that was
   being obtained indirectly which stopped being the case when tools/lib/traceevent
   was removed.
 
 - Don't show commands in 'perf help' that depend on linking with libtraceevent
   when not building with that library, which is now a possibility since we
   no longer ship a copy in tools/lib/traceevent.
 
 - Fix failure in 'perf test' entry testing the combination of 'perf probe' user
   space function + 'perf record' + 'perf script' where it expects a backtrace
   leading to glibc's inet_pton() from 'ping' that now happens more than once with
   glibc 2.35 for IPv6 addreses.
 
 - Fix for the inet_pton perf test on s/390 where 'text_to_binary_address' now
   appears on the backtrace.
 
 - Fix build error on riscv due to missing header for 'struct perf_sample'.
 
 - Fix 'make -C tools perf_install' install variant by not propagating the 'subdir'
   to submakes for the 'install_headers' targets.
 
 - Fix handling of unsupported cgroup events when using BPF counters in 'perf stat'.
 
 - Count all cgroups, not just the last one when using 'perf stat
   --for-each-cgroup' with --bpf-counters. This makes the output using BPF
   counters match the output without using it, which was the intention all along,
   the output should be the same using --bpf-counters or not.
 
 - Fix 'perf lock contention' core dump related to not finding the
   "__sched_text_end" symbol on s/390.
 
 - Fix build failure when HEAD is signed: exclude the signature from the version
   string.
 
 - Add missing closedir() calls to in perf_data__open_dir(), plugging a fd leak.

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.
