Pull perf tooling fixes from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo: - Avoid write of uninitialized memory when generating PERF_RECORD_MMAP* records. - Fix 'perf top' BPF support related crash with perf_event_paranoid=3 + kptr_restrict. - Validate raw event with sysfs exported format bits. - Fix waipid on SIGCHLD delivery bugs in 'perf daemon'. - Change to use bash for daemon test on Debian, where the default is dash and thus fails for use of bashisms in this test. - Fix memory leak in vDSO found using ASAN. - Remove now useless (due to the fact that BPF now supports static vars) failing sub test "BPF relocation checker". - Fix auxtrace queue conflict. - Sync linux/kvm.h with the kernel sources. * tag 'perf-tools-fixes-for-v5.12-2020-03-28' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/acme/linux: perf test: Change to use bash for daemon test perf record: Fix memory leak in vDSO found using ASAN perf test: Remove now useless failing sub test "BPF relocation checker" perf daemon: Return from kill functions perf daemon: Force waipid for all session on SIGCHLD delivery perf top: Fix BPF support related crash with perf_event_paranoid=3 + kptr_restrict perf pmu: Validate raw event with sysfs exported format bits perf synthetic events: Avoid write of uninitialized memory when generating PERF_RECORD_MMAP* records tools headers UAPI: Sync linux/kvm.h with the kernel sources perf synthetic-events: Fix uninitialized 'kernel_thread' variable perf auxtrace: Fix auxtrace queue conflict
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.
