Pull perf fixes from Ingo Molnar:
"Misc fixes:
- Fix the NMI watchdog on ancient Intel CPUs
- Remove a misguided, NMI-unsafe KASAN callback from the NMI-safe
irq_work path used by perf.
- Fix uncore events on Ice Lake servers.
- Someone booted maxcpus=1 on an SNB-EP, and the uncore driver
emitted warnings and was probably buggy. Fix it.
- KCSAN found a genuine data race in the core perf code. Somewhat
ironically the bug was introduced through a recent race fix. :-/
In our defense, the new race window was much more narrow. Fix it"

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.
