- Add Adrian Hunter to MAINTAINERS as a perf tools reviewer.
- Sync various tools/ copies of kernel headers with the kernel sources, this
time trying to avoid first merging with upstream to then update but instead
copy from upstream so that a merge is avoided and the end result after merging
this pull request is the one expected, tools/perf/check-headers.sh (mostly)
happy, less warnings while building tools/perf/.
- Fix counting when initial delay configured by setting
perf_attr.enable_on_exec when starting workloads from the perf command line.
- Don't avoid emitting a PERF_RECORD_MMAP2 in 'perf inject --buildid-all' when
that record comes with a build-id, otherwise we end up not being able to
resolve symbols.
- Don't use comma as the CSV output separator the "stat+csv_output" test, as
comma can appear on some tests as a modifier for an event, use @ instead,
ditto for the JSON linter test.
- The offcpu test was looking for some bits being set on
task_struct->prev_state without masking other bits not important for this
specific 'perf test', 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.
