Pull perf fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
"Two fixes for performance monitoring on X86:
- Add recursion protection to another callchain invoked from
x86_pmu_stop() which can recurse back into x86_pmu_stop(). The
first attempt to fix this missed this extra code path.
- Use the already filtered status variable to check for PEBS counter
overflow bits and not the unfiltered full status read from
IA32_PERF_GLOBAL_STATUS which can have unrelated bits check which
would be evaluated incorrectly"

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.
