Pull perf tools fixes from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo: - Fix NULL pointer dereference in 'perf probe' when handling DW_AT_const_value when looking for a variable, which is valid. - Fix for capability querying of perf_event_attr.cgroup support in older kernels. - Add missing cloning of evsel->use_config_name. - Honor event config name on --no-merge in 'perf stat'. - Fix some memory leaks found using ASAN. - Fix the perf entry for perf_event_attr setup with make LIBPFM4=1 on s390 z/VM. - Update MIPS UAPI perf_regs.h file. - Fix 'perf stat' BPF counter load return check. * tag 'perf-tools-fixes-for-v5.13-2021-06-04' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/acme/linux: perf env: Fix memory leak of bpf_prog_info_linear member perf symbol-elf: Fix memory leak by freeing sdt_note.args perf stat: Honor event config name on --no-merge perf evsel: Add missing cloning of evsel->use_config_name perf test: Test 17 fails with make LIBPFM4=1 on s390 z/VM perf stat: Fix error return code in bperf__load() perf record: Move probing cgroup sampling support perf probe: Fix NULL pointer dereference in convert_variable_location() perf tools: Copy uapi/asm/perf_regs.h from the kernel for MIPS
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.
