Linus Torvalds 608745f124 Merge branch 'perf-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull perf updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "The main changes in this cycle on the kernel side were:

   - CPU PMU and uncore driver updates to Intel Snow Ridge, IceLake,
     KabyLake, AmberLake and WhiskeyLake CPUs.

   - Rework the MSR probing infrastructure to make it more robust, make
     it work better on virtualized systems and to better expose it on
     sysfs.

   - Rework PMU attributes group support based on the feedback from
     Greg. The core sysfs patch that adds sysfs_update_groups() was
     acked by Greg.

  There's a lot of perf tooling changes as well, all around the place:

   - vendor updates to Intel, cs-etm (ARM), ARM64, s390,

   - various enhancements to Intel PT tooling support:
      - Improve CBR (Core to Bus Ratio) packets support.
      - Export power and ptwrite events to sqlite and postgresql.
      - Add support for decoding PEBS via PT packets.
      - Add support for samples to contain IPC ratio, collecting cycles
        information from CYC packets, showing the IPC info periodically
      - Allow using time ranges

   - lots of updates to perf pmu, perf stat, perf trace, eBPF support,
     perf record, perf diff, etc. - please see the shortlog and Git log
     for details"

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.
