Pull perf/urgent fixes and improvements from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo: - Store context switch out type in PERF_RECORD_SWITCH[_CPU_WIDE]. The percentage of preempting and non-preempting context switches help understanding the nature of workloads (CPU or IO bound) that are running on a machine. This adds the kernel facility and userspace changes needed to show this information in 'perf script' and 'perf report -D' (Alexey Budankov) - Remove old error messages about things that unlikely to be the root cause in modern systems (Andi Kleen) - Synchronize kernel ABI headers, v4.17-rc1 (Ingo Molnar) - Support MAP_FIXED_NOREPLACE, noticed when updating the tools/include/ copies (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo) - Fixup BPF test using epoll_pwait syscall function probe, to cope with the syscall routines renames performed in this development cycle (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo) - Fix sample_max_stack maximum check and do not proceed when an error has been detect, return them to avoid misidentifying errors (Jiri Olsa) - Add '\n' at the end of parse-options error messages (Ravi Bangoria) - Add s390 support for detailed/verbose PMU event description (Thomas Richter) Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>
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.
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.
