Ingo Molnar 9f58c93efd perf/core improvements and fixes:
perf report/top:
 
   - Fix segfault due to missing initialization of recently introduced
     struct map_symbol 'maps' field in append_inlines(), when running
     with DWARF callchains.
 
 perf stat:
 
   Andi Kleen:
 
   - Affinity based optimizations for sessions with many events in
     machines with large core counts, avoiding excessive number of IPIs.
 
 libtraceevent:
 
   - Sudip Mukherjee:
 
   - Fix installation with O=.
 
   - Copy pkg-config file to output folder when using O=.
 
 perf bench:
 
   Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:
 
   - Update the copies of x86's mem{cpy,set}_64.S, and because that
     now uses new stuff in linux/linkage.h, update that header too, which
     made the minimal clang version to build perf to be 3.5, as
     3.4 as found in some of the container images used to test build perf
     can't grok STT_FUNC as a token in .type lines.
 
 ABI headers:
 
   Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:
 
   - Sync x86's msr-index.h copy with the kernel sources, resulting
     in new MSRs to be usable in filter expressions in 'perf trace',
     such as IA32_TSX_CTRL.
 
   - Sync linux/fscrypt.h, linux/stat.h, sched.h and the kvm headers.
 
 perf trace:
 
   Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:
 
   - Add CLEAR_SIGHAND support for clone's flags arg
 
 perf kvm:
 
   Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:
 
   - Clarify the 'perf kvm' -i and -o command line options
 
 perf test:
 
   Ian Rogers:
 
   - Move test functionality in to a 'perf test' entry.

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.
