Pull perf tools fixes from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo: - BPF program info linear (BPIL) data is accessed assuming 64-bit alignment resulting in undefined behavior as the data is just byte aligned. Fix it, Found using -fsanitize=undefined. - Fix 'perf offcpu' build on old kernels wrt task_struct's state/__state field. - Fix perf_event_attr.sample_type setting on the 'offcpu-time' event synthesized by the 'perf offcpu' tool. - Don't bail out when synthesizing PERF_RECORD_ events for pre-existing threads when one goes away while parsing its procfs entries. - Don't sort the task scan result from /proc, its not needed and introduces bugs when the main thread isn't the first one to be processed. - Fix uninitialized 'offset' variable on aarch64 in the unwind code. - Sync KVM headers with the kernel sources. * tag 'perf-tools-fixes-for-v5.19-2022-07-02' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/acme/linux: perf synthetic-events: Ignore dead threads during event synthesis perf synthetic-events: Don't sort the task scan result from /proc perf unwind: Fix unitialized 'offset' variable on aarch64 tools headers UAPI: Sync linux/kvm.h with the kernel sources perf bpf: 8 byte align bpil data tools kvm headers arm64: Update KVM headers from the kernel sources perf offcpu: Accept allowed sample types only perf offcpu: Fix build failure on old kernels
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.
