Pull perf tools fixes from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo: - Fix display of grouped aliased events in 'perf stat'. - Add missing branch_sample_type to perf_event_attr__fprintf(). - Apply correct label to user/kernel symbols in branch mode. - Fix 'perf ftrace' system_wide tracing, it has to be set before creating the maps. - Return error if procfs isn't mounted for PID namespaces when synthesizing records for pre-existing processes. - Set error stream of objdump process for 'perf annotate' TUI, to avoid garbling the screen. - Add missing arm64 support to perf_mmap__read_self(), the kernel part got into 5.17. - Check for NULL pointer before dereference writing debug info about a sample. - Update UAPI copies for asound, perf_event, prctl and kvm headers. - Fix a typo in bpf_counter_cgroup.c. * tag 'perf-tools-fixes-for-v5.17-2022-02-06' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/acme/linux: perf ftrace: system_wide collection is not effective by default libperf: Add arm64 support to perf_mmap__read_self() tools include UAPI: Sync sound/asound.h copy with the kernel sources perf stat: Fix display of grouped aliased events perf tools: Apply correct label to user/kernel symbols in branch mode perf bpf: Fix a typo in bpf_counter_cgroup.c perf synthetic-events: Return error if procfs isn't mounted for PID namespaces perf session: Check for NULL pointer before dereference perf annotate: Set error stream of objdump process for TUI perf tools: Add missing branch_sample_type to perf_event_attr__fprintf() tools headers UAPI: Sync linux/kvm.h with the kernel sources tools headers UAPI: Sync linux/prctl.h with the kernel sources perf beauty: Make the prctl arg regexp more strict to cope with PR_SET_VMA tools headers cpufeatures: Sync with the kernel sources tools headers UAPI: Sync linux/perf_event.h with the kernel sources tools include UAPI: Sync sound/asound.h copy with the kernel sources
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.
