Pull perf tools fixes from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:
- Prevent out-of-bounds access to per sample registers.
- Fix NULL vs IS_ERR_OR_NULL() checking on the python binding.
- Intel PT fixes, half of those are one-liners:
- Fix some PGE (packet generation enable/control flow packets) usage.
- Fix sync state when a PSB (synchronization) packet is found.
- Fix intel_pt_fup_event() assumptions about setting state type.
- Fix state setting when receiving overflow (OVF) packet.
- Fix next 'err' value, walking trace.
- Fix missing 'instruction' events with 'q' option.
- Fix error timestamp setting on the decoder error path.

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.
