Ingo Molnar 770e961255 perf/core improvements and fixes:
- Support syscall name glob matching in 'perf trace' (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
 
   e.g.:
 
    # perf trace -e pkey_*
    32.784 (0.006 ms): pkey/16018 pkey_alloc(init_val: DISABLE_WRITE) = -1 EINVAL Invalid argument
    32.795 (0.004 ms): pkey/16018 pkey_mprotect(start: 0x7f380d0a6000, len: 4096, prot: READ|WRITE, pkey: -1) = 0
    32.801 (0.002 ms): pkey/16018 pkey_free(pkey: -1                ) = -1 EINVAL Invalid argument
    ^C#
 
 - Do not auto merge counts for explicitely specified events in
   'perf stat' (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
 
 - Fix syntax in documentation of .perfconfig intel-pt option (Jack Henschel)
 
 - Calculate the average cycles of iterations for loops detected by the
   branch history support in 'perf report' (Jin Yao)
 
 - Support PERF_SAMPLE_PHYS_ADDR as a sort key "phys_daddr" in the 'script', 'mem',
   'top' and 'report'. Also add a test entry for it in 'perf test' (Kan Liang)
 
 - Fix 'Object code reading' 'perf test' entry in PowerPC (Ravi Bangoria)
 
 - Remove some duplicate Power9 duplicate vendor events (described in JSON
   files) (Sukadev Bhattiprolu)
 
 - Add help entry in the TUI annotate browser about cycling thru hottest
   instructions with TAB/shift+TAB (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

README

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.
