Linus Torvalds e2dec48844 perf tools fixes for v5.18, 2nd batch:
- 'perf record --per-thread' mode doesn't have the CPU mask setup, so it
   can use it to figure out the number of mmaps, fix it.
 
 - Fix segfault accessing sample_id xyarray out of bounds, noticed while
   using Intel PT where we have a dummy event to capture text poke perf
   metadata events and we mixup the set of CPUs specified by the user
   with the all CPUs map needed for text poke.
 
 - Fix 'perf bench numa' to check if CPU used to bind task is online.
 
 - Fix 'perf bench numa' usage of affinity for machines with more than
   1000 CPUs.
 
 - Fix misleading add event PMU debug message, noticed while using the
   'intel_pt' PMU.
 
 - Fix error check return value of hashmap__new() in 'perf stat', it must
   use IS_ERR().

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.
