Linus Torvalds b5b65f1398 perf tools changes for v5.15: 2nd batch
- Add missing fields and remove some duplicate fields when printing a perf_event_attr.
 
 - Fix hybrid config terms list corruption.
 
 - Update kernel header copies, some resulted in new kernel features being
   automagically added to 'perf trace' syscall/tracepoint argument id->string translators.
 
 - Add a file generated during the documentation build to .gitignore.
 
 - Add an option to build without libbfd, as some distros, like Debian consider
   its ABI unstable.
 
 - Add support to print a textual representation of IBS raw sample data in 'perf report'.
 
 - Fix bpf 'perf test' sample mismatch reporting
 
 - Fix passing arguments to stackcollapse report in a 'perf script' python script.
 
 - Allow build-id with trailing zeros.
 
 - Look for ImageBase in PE file to compute .text offset.

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.
