Linus Torvalds 3f59dbcace Merge branch 'perf-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull perf updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "The main kernel side changes in this cycle were:

   - Various Intel-PT updates and optimizations (Alexander Shishkin)

   - Prohibit kprobes on Xen/KVM emulate prefixes (Masami Hiramatsu)

   - Add support for LSM and SELinux checks to control access to the
     perf syscall (Joel Fernandes)

   - Misc other changes, optimizations, fixes and cleanups - see the
     shortlog for details.

  There were numerous tooling changes as well - 254 non-merge commits.
  Here are the main changes - too many to list in detail:

   - Enhancements to core tooling infrastructure, perf.data, libperf,
     libtraceevent, event parsing, vendor events, Intel PT, callchains,
     BPF support and instruction decoding.

   - There were updates to the following tools:

        perf annotate
        perf diff
        perf inject
        perf kvm
        perf list
        perf maps
        perf parse
        perf probe
        perf record
        perf report
        perf script
        perf stat
        perf test
        perf trace

   - And a lot of other changes: please see the shortlog and Git log for
     more details"

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.
