Pull perf/core improvements and fixes from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:
perf db-export:
Adrian Hunter:
- Improvements in how COMM details are exported to databases for
post processing and use in the sql-viewer.py UI.
- Export switch events to the database.
BPF:
Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:
- Bump rlimit(MEMLOCK) for 'perf test bpf' and 'perf trace', just like
selftests/bpf/bpf_rlimit.h do, which makes errors due to exhaustion of
this limit, which are kinda cryptic (EPERM sometimes) less frequent.
perf version:
Ravi Bangoria:
- Fix segfault due to missing OPT_END(), noticed on PowerPC.
perf vendor events:
Thomas Richter:
- Add JSON files for IBM s/390 machine type 8561.
perf cs-etm (ARM):
YueHaibing:
- Fix two cases of error returns not bing done properly: Invalid ERR_PTR() use
and loss of propagation error codes.
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.
