Ingo Molnar b11f7244ef perf/core improvements and fixes:
perf record:
 
   Stephane Eranian:
 
   - Fix priv level with branch sampling for paranoid=2, i.e. the kernel checks
     if perf_event_attr_attr.exclude_hv is set in addition to .exclude_kernel,
     so reset both to zero.
 
   Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:
 
   - Don't warn about not being able to read kernel maps (kallsyms, etc) when
     kernel samples aren't being collected.
 
 perf list:
 
   Kim Phillips:
 
   - Allow plurals for metric, metricgroup., i.e.:
 
     $ perf list metrics
 
     was showing nothing, which is very confusing, make it work like:
 
     $ perf stat metric
 
 perf stat:
 
   Andi Kleen:
 
   - Free memory access/leaks detected via valgrind, related to metrics.
 
 Libraries:
 
 libperf:
 
   Jiri Olsa:
 
   - Move more stuff from tools/perf, this time a first stab at moving perf_mmap
     methods.
 
 libtracevent:
 
   Steven Rostedt (VMware):
 
   - Round up in tep_print_event() time precision.
 
   Tzvetomir Stoyanov (VMware):
 
   - Man pages for event print and related and plugins APIs.
 
   - Move traceevent plugins in its own subdirectory.
 
 Feature detection:
 
   Thomas Richter:
 
   - Add detection of java-11-openjdk-devel package, in addition to the older
     versions supported.
 
 Architecture specific:
 
 S/390:
 
   Thomas Richter (2):
 
   - Include JVMTI support for s390
 
 Vendor events:
 
 AMD:
 
   Kim Phillips:
 
   - Add L3 cache events for Family 17h.
 
   - Remove redundant '['.
 
 PowerPC:
 
   Mamatha Inamdar:
 
   - Remove P8 HW events which are not supported.
 
 Cleanups:
 
   Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:
 
   - Remove needless headers, add needed ones, move things around to reduce the
     headers dependency tree, speeding up builds by not doing needless compiles
     when unrelated stuff gets changed.
 
   - Ditch unused code that was dragging headers.

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.
