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 perf fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
"A pile of perf related fixes:
Kernel:
- Fix SLOTS PEBS event constraints for Icelake CPUs
- Add the missing mask bit to allow counting hardware generated
prefetches on L3 for Icelake CPUs
- Make the test for hypervisor platforms more accurate (as far as
possible)
- Handle PMUs correctly which override event->cpu
- Yet another missing fallthrough annotation
Tools:
perf.data:
- Fix loading of compressed data split across adjacent records
- Fix buffer size setting for processing CPU topology perf.data
header.
perf stat:
- Fix segfault for event group in repeat mode
- Always separate "stalled cycles per insn" line, it was being
appended to the "instructions" line.
perf script:
- Fix --max-blocks man page description.
- Improve man page description of metrics.
- Fix off by one in brstackinsn IPC computation.
perf probe:
- Avoid calling freeing routine multiple times for same pointer.
perf build:
- Do not use -Wshadow on gcc < 4.8, avoiding too strict warnings
treated as errors, breaking the build"
