Linus Torvalds ca21b9b370 A set of fixes and improvements for the perf subsystem:
- Kernel fixes:
 
    - Install cgroup events to the correct CPU context to prevent a
      potential list double add
 
    - Prevent am intgeer underflow in the perf mlock acounting
 
    - Add a missing prototyp for arch_perf_update_userpage()
 
  - Tooling:
 
    - Add a missing unlock in the error path of maps__insert() in perf maps.
 
    - Fix the build with the latest libbfd
 
    - Fix the perf parser so it does not delete parse event terms, which
      caused a regression for using perf with the ARM CoreSight as the sink
      confuguration was missing due to the deletion.
 
    - Fix the double free in the perf CPU map merging test case
 
    - Add the missing ustring support for the perf probe command

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.
