Linus Torvalds 91e1c99e17 perf updates:
core:
 
   - Allow ftrace to instrument parts of the perf core code
 
   - Add a new mem_hops field to perf_mem_data_src which allows to represent
     intra-node/package or inter-node/off-package details to prepare for
     next generation systems which have more hieararchy within the
     node/pacakge level.
 
  tools:
 
   - Update for the new mem_hops field in perf_mem_data_src
 
  arch:
 
   - A set of constraints fixes for the Intel uncore PMU
 
   - The usual set of small fixes and improvements for x86 and PPC

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.
