Pull more perf tools updates from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:
- Add missing fields and remove some duplicate fields when printing a
perf_event_attr.
- Fix hybrid config terms list corruption.
- Update kernel header copies, some resulted in new kernel features
being automagically added to 'perf trace' syscall/tracepoint argument
id->string translators.
- Add a file generated during the documentation build to .gitignore.
- Add an option to build without libbfd, as some distros, like Debian
consider its ABI unstable.
- Add support to print a textual representation of IBS raw sample data
in 'perf report'.
- Fix bpf 'perf test' sample mismatch reporting
- Fix passing arguments to stackcollapse report in a 'perf script'
python script.
- Allow build-id with trailing zeros.
- Look for ImageBase in PE file to compute .text offset.

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.
