Linus Torvalds c0e809e244 Merge branch 'perf-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull perf updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "Kernel side changes:

   - Ftrace is one of the last W^X violators (after this only KLP is
     left). These patches move it over to the generic text_poke()
     interface and thereby get rid of this oddity. This requires a
     surprising amount of surgery, by Peter Zijlstra.

   - x86/AMD PMUs: add support for 'Large Increment per Cycle Events' to
     count certain types of events that have a special, quirky hw ABI
     (by Kim Phillips)

   - kprobes fixes by Masami Hiramatsu

  Lots of tooling updates as well, the following subcommands were
  updated: annotate/report/top, c2c, clang, record, report/top TUI,
  sched timehist, tests; plus updates were done to the gtk ui, libperf,
  headers and the parser"

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.
