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.

Pull arm64 regression fix from Will Deacon: "Apologies for the _extremely_ late pull request here, but we had a 'perf' (i.e. CPU PMU) regression on the Apple M1 reported on Wednesday [1] which was introduced by bd275681 ("perf: Rewrite core context handling") during the merge window. Mark and I looked into this and noticed an additional problem caused by the same patch, where the 'CHAIN' event (used to combine two adjacent 32-bit counters into a single 64-bit counter) was not being filtered correctly. Mark posted a series on Thursday [2] which addresses both of these regressions and I queued it the same day. The changes are small, self-contained and have been confirmed to fix the original regression. Summary: - Fix 'perf' regression for non-standard CPU PMU hardware (i.e. Apple M1)" * tag 'arm64-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm64/linux: arm64: perf: reject CHAIN events at creation time arm_pmu: fix event CPU filtering
