Pull perf fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
"A larger set of updates for perf.
Kernel:
- Handle the SBOX uncore monitoring correctly on Broadwell CPUs which
do not have SBOX.
- Store context switch out type in PERF_RECORD_SWITCH[_CPU_WIDE]. The
percentage of preempting and non-preempting context switches help
understanding the nature of workloads (CPU or IO bound) that are
running on a machine. This adds the kernel facility and userspace
changes needed to show this information in 'perf script' and 'perf
report -D' (Alexey Budankov)
- Remove a WARN_ON() in the trace/kprobes code which is pointless
because the return error code is already telling the caller what's
wrong.
- Revert a fugly workaround for clang BPF targets.
- Fix sample_max_stack maximum check and do not proceed when an error
has been detect, return them to avoid misidentifying errors (Jiri
Olsa)
- Add SPDX idenitifiers and get rid of GPL boilderplate.
Tools:
- Synchronize kernel ABI headers, v4.17-rc1 (Ingo Molnar)
- Support MAP_FIXED_NOREPLACE, noticed when updating the
tools/include/ copies (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- Add '\n' at the end of parse-options error messages (Ravi Bangoria)
- Add s390 support for detailed/verbose PMU event description (Thomas
Richter)
- perf annotate fixes and improvements:
* Allow showing offsets in more than just jump targets, use the
new 'O' hotkey in the TUI, config ~/.perfconfig
annotate.offset_level for it and for --stdio2 (Arnaldo Carvalho
de Melo)
* Use the resolved variable names from objdump disassembled lines
to make them more compact, just like was already done for some
instructions, like "mov", this eventually will be done more
generally, but lets now add some more to the existing mechanism
(Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- perf record fixes:
* Change warning for missing topology sysfs entry to debug, as not
all architectures have those files, s390 being one of those
(Thomas Richter)
* Remove old error messages about things that unlikely to be the
root cause in modern systems (Andi Kleen)
- perf sched fixes:
* Fix -g/--call-graph documentation (Takuya Yamamoto)
- perf stat:
* Enable 1ms interval for printing event counters values in
(Alexey Budankov)
- perf test fixes:
* Run dwarf unwind on arm32 (Kim Phillips)
* Remove unused ptrace.h include from LLVM test, sidesteping older
clang's lack of support for some asm constructs (Arnaldo
Carvalho de Melo)
* Fixup BPF test using epoll_pwait syscall function probe, to cope
with the syscall routines renames performed in this development
cycle (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- perf version fixes:
* Do not print info about HAVE_LIBAUDIT_SUPPORT in 'perf version
--build-options' when HAVE_SYSCALL_TABLE_SUPPORT is true, as
libaudit won't be used in that case, print info about
syscall_table support instead (Jin Yao)
- Build system fixes:
* Use HAVE_..._SUPPORT used consistently (Jin Yao)
* Restore READ_ONCE() C++ compatibility in tools/include (Mark
Rutland)
* Give hints about package names needed to build jvmti (Arnaldo
Carvalho de Melo)"
* 'perf-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (37 commits)

README
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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
