Pull perf/core improvements and fixes from Arnaldo:
Intel PT:
Adrian Hunter:
- Add PEBS via Intel PT support, the kernel bits went via PeterZ.
perf record:
Alexander Shishkin:
- Add an option to take an AUX snapshot on exit.
Tan Xiaojun:
- Support aarch64 random socket_id assignment, just like was fixed for S/390.
tools:
Andy Shevchenko:
- Keep list of tools in alphabetical order on 'make -C tools help'.
perf session:
Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:
- Avoid infinite loop when seeing invalid header.size, reported by
Vince Weaver using a perf.data fuzzer.
Documentation:
Vince Weaver:
- Clarify HEADER_SAMPLE_TOPOLOGY format in the perf.data spec.
perf config:
Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:
- Honour $PERF_CONFIG env var to specify alternate .perfconfig.
perf test:
Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:
- Disable ~/.perfconfig to get default output in 'perf trace' tests.
perf top:
Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:
- Set display thread COMM to help with debugging.
- Collapse and resort evsels in a group, so that we have output
similar to 'perf report' when using event groups, i.e.
perf top -e '{cycles,instructions}'
Will have two columns, and the instructions one will work.
core:
Igor Lubashev:
- Detect if libcap development files are available so that we
can use capabilities to match the checks made by the kernel instead
of using plain (geteuid() == 0).
Intel:
Haiyan Song:
- Add Icelake V1.00 event file.
perf trace:
Leo Yan:
- Fix segmentation fault when access syscall info on arm64.

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.
