Ingo Molnar fbf8a1e12c perf/core improvements and fixes:
- Support to display the IPC/Cycle in 'annotate' TUI, for systems
   where this info can be obtained, like Intel's >= Skylake (Jin Yao)
 
 - Support wildcards on PMU name in dynamic PMU events (Agustin Vega-Frias)
 
 - Display pmu name when printing unmerged events in stat (Agustin Vega-Frias)
 
 - Auto-merge PMU events created by prefix or glob match (Agustin Vega-Frias)
 
 - Fix s390 'call' operations target function annotation (Thomas Richter)
 
 - Handle s390 PC relative load and store instruction in the augmented
   'annotate', code, used so far in the TUI modes of 'perf report' and
   'perf annotate' (Thomas Richter)
 
 - Provide libtraceevent with a kernel symbol resolver, so that
   symbols in tracepoint fields can be resolved when showing them in
   tools such as 'perf report' (Wang YanQing)
 
 - Refactor the cgroups code to look more like other code in tools/perf,
   using cgroup__{put,get} for refcount operations instead of its
   open-coded equivalent, breaking larger functions, etc (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
 
 - Implement support for the -G/--cgroup target in 'perf trace', allowing
   strace like tracing (plus other events, backtraces, etc) for cgroups
   (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
 
 - Update thread shortname in 'perf sched map' when the thread's COMM
   changes (Changbin Du)
 
 - refcount 'struct mem_info', for better sharing it over several
   users, avoid duplicating structs and fixing crashes related to
   use after free (Jiri Olsa)
 
 - Display perf.data version, offsets in 'perf report --header' (Jiri Olsa)
 
 - Record the machine's memory topology information in a perf.data
   feature section, to be used by tools such as 'perf c2c' (Jiri Olsa)
 
 - Fix output of forced groups in the header for 'perf report' --stdio
   and --tui (Jiri Olsa)
 
 - Better support llvm, clang, cxx make tests in the build process (Jiri Olsa)
 
 - Streamline the 'struct perf_mmap' methods, storing some info in the
   struct instead of passing it via various methods, shortening its
   signatures (Kan Liang)
 
 - Update the quipper perf.data parser library site information (Stephane Eranian)
 
 - Correct perf's man pages title markers for asciidoctor (Takashi Iwai)
 
 - Intel PT fixes and refactorings paving the way for implementing
   support for AUX area sampling (Adrian Hunter)

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
