Linus Torvalds add7695957 Perf events updates for v6.2:
- Thoroughly rewrite the data structures that implement perf task context handling,
    with the goal of fixing various quirks and unfeatures both in already merged,
    and in upcoming proposed code.
 
    The old data structure is the per task and per cpu perf_event_contexts:
 
          task_struct::perf_events_ctxp[] <-> perf_event_context <-> perf_cpu_context
               ^                                 |    ^     |           ^
               `---------------------------------'    |     `--> pmu ---'
                                                      v           ^
                                                 perf_event ------'
 
    In this new design this is replaced with a single task context and
    a single CPU context, plus intermediate data-structures:
 
          task_struct::perf_event_ctxp -> perf_event_context <- perf_cpu_context
               ^                           |   ^ ^
               `---------------------------'   | |
                                               | |    perf_cpu_pmu_context <--.
                                               | `----.    ^                  |
                                               |      |    |                  |
                                               |      v    v                  |
                                               | ,--> perf_event_pmu_context  |
                                               | |                            |
                                               | |                            |
                                               v v                            |
                                          perf_event ---> pmu ----------------'
 
    [ See commit bd27568117 for more details. ]
 
    This rewrite was developed by Peter Zijlstra and Ravi Bangoria.
 
  - Optimize perf_tp_event()
 
  - Update the Intel uncore PMU driver, extending it with UPI topology discovery
    on various hardware models.
 
  - Misc fixes & cleanups

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.
