Linus Torvalds 144c79ef33 perf tools fixes for v5.12:
- Fix wrong skipping for per-die aggregation in 'perf stat'.
 
 - Fix race in signal handling on large core count machines, setting up signal
   handlers earlier.
 
 - Fix -F for branch & mem modes in 'perf report'.
 
 - Fix the condition checks for max number of NUMA nodes in 'perf bench numa'.
 
 - Fix crash in 'perf diff' error path.
 
 - Fix filtering of empty build-ids in 'perf archive'.
 
 - Ensure read cmdlines from libtraceevent are null terminated.
 
 Recent regressions:
 
 - Fix control fifo permissions in 'perf daemon'.
 
 - Fix 'perf daemon' compile error with ASAN.
 
 - Fix running 'perf daemon' test for non root user.
 
 - Fix PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT_STRUCT 'perf test' failure on non-x86 arches.
 
 - Fix event's PMU name parsing related to new drm/i915/gt
   software-gt-awake-time event.
 
 Fixes from compiler instrumentation:
 
 - Fix leaks in 'perf test' entries, found using ASAN.
 
 - Fix use-after-free when 'perf stat -r' option is used.
 
 Arch specific:
 
 - Fix bitmap for option om ARM's CS-ETM.
 
 Documentation:
 
 - Fix documentation of verbose options.
 
 Build:
 
 - Clean 'generated' directory used for creating the syscall table on x86.
 
 - Fix ccache usage in $(CC) when generating arch errno table.
 
 - Cast (struct timeval).tv_sec when printing, fixing the build with MUSL libc.
 
 - Tighten snprintf() string precision to pass gcc check on some 32-bit arches.
 
 - Update UAPI copies from the kernel sources.
 
 - Fix regression on feature detection 'make clean' target.

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.
