Pull perf fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
"A set of fixes for perf:
- A set of commits which reduce the stack usage of various perf
event handling functions which allocated large data structs on
stack causing stack overflows in the worst case
- Use the proper mechanism for detecting soft interrupts in the
recursion protection
- Make the resursion protection simpler and more robust
- Simplify the scheduling of event groups to make the code more
robust and prepare for fixing the issues vs. scheduling of
exclusive event groups
- Prevent event multiplexing and rotation for exclusive event groups
- Correct the perf event attribute exclusive semantics to take
pinned events, e.g. the PMU watchdog, into account
- Make the anythread filtering conditional for Intel's generic PMU
counters as it is not longer guaranteed to be supported on newer
CPUs. Check the corresponding CPUID leaf to make sure
- Fixup a duplicate initialization in an array which was probably
caused by the usual 'copy & paste - forgot to edit' mishap"

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.
