Pull perf/core improvements and fixes from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo: - Add '-e intel_pt//u' test to the 'parse-events' 'perf test' entry, to help avoiding regressions in the events parser such as one that caused a revert in v4.17-rc (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo) - Fix NULL return handling in bpf__prepare_load() (YueHaibing) - Warn about 'perf buildid-cache --purge-all' failures (Ravi Bangoria) - Add infrastructure to help in writing eBPF C programs to be used with '-e name.c' type events in tools such as 'record' and 'trace', with headers for common constructs and an examples directory that will get populated as we add more such helpers and the 'perf bpf' branch that Jiri Olsa has been working on (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo) - Handle uncore event aliases in small groups properly (Kan Liang) - Use the "_stest" symbol to identify the kernel map when loading kcore (Adrian Hunter) Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>
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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
