Ingo Molnar b0aeb45bad perf/core improvements and fixes:
perf record:
 
   Ravi Bangoria:
 
   - Provide an option to print perf_event_open args and syscall return value.
     This was already possible using -v, but then lots of other debug info
     would be output as well, provide a way to show just the syscall args
     and return value, e.g.:
 
       # perf --debug perf-event-open=1 record
       perf_event_attr:
         size                             112
         { sample_period, sample_freq }   4000
         sample_type                      IP|TID|TIME|PERIOD
         read_format                      ID
         disabled                         1
         inherit                          1
       <SNIP>
         ksymbol                          1
         bpf_event                        1
       ------------------------------------------------------------
       sys_perf_event_open: pid 4308  cpu 0  group_fd -1  flags 0x8 = 4
 
 core:
 
 - Remove map->groups, we can get that information in other ways, reduces
   the size of a key data structure and paves the way to have it shared
   by multiple threads.
 
 - Use 'struct map_symbol' in more places, where we already were using a
   'struct map' + 'struct symbol', this helps passing that usual pair of
   information across callchain, browser code, etc.
 
 - Add 'struct map_groups' (where the map_symbol->map is) to 'struct map_symbol',
   to ease annotation code, for instance, where we call from functions in one map
   we're browsing to functions in another DSO, mapped in another 'struct map'.

   - Use YYABORT to clear stack after failure, plugging leaks

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.
