Pull perf/core improvements and fixes from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo: - Update vendor events JSON metrics for Intel's Broadwell, Broadwell Server, Haswell, Haswell Server, IvyBridge, IvyTown, JakeTown, Sandy Bridge, Skylake and SkyLake Server (Andi Kleen) - Add vendor event file for Intel's Goldmont Plus V1 (Kan Liang) - Move perf_mmap methods from 'perf record' and evlist.c to a separate mmap.[ch] pair, to better separate things and pave the way for further work on multithreading tools (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo) - Do not check ABI headers in a detached tarball build, as it the kernel headers from where we copied tools/include/ are by definition not available (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo) - Make 'perf script' use fprintf() like printing, i.e. receiving a FILE pointer so that it gets consistent with other tools/ code and allows for printing to per-event files (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo) - Error handling fixes (resource release on exit) for 'perf script' and 'perf kmem' (Christophe JAILLET) - Make some 'perf event attr' tests optional on virtual machines, where tested counters are not available (Jiri Olsa) Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. 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.
