Pull perf/core improvements and fixes from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:
callchains:
Alexey Budankov:
- Allow collecting LBR together with DWARF callchains, for workloads
where the userspace stack size collected is not big enough for
pure DWARF based unwinding.
- Dump the LBR call stack in 'perf report -D'.
perf top:
Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:
- Show visual cue at start to state that the minimal set of samples
are being collected prior to sorting/bucketizing/displaying.
CoreSight (ARM hardware tracing):
Leo Yan:
- Support sample flags 'insn' and 'insnlen'.
core:
Adrian Hunter:
- Add comment for 'idx' member in 'struct perf_sample_id.
tools headers:
Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:
- Synchronize linux/bits.h, which required grabbing a copy of the kernel
const.h headers and some changes in the ordering of header directories.
- Sync x86's asm/cpufeatures.h with the with the kernel, no change in
any of the tools.
libperf:
Jiri Olsa:
- Fix arch include paths.
libtraceevent:
Steven Rostedt (VMware):
- Fix "robust" test of do_generate_dynamic_list_file.

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.
