- A set of commits which reduce the stack usage of various perf event
handling functions which allocated large data structs on stack causing
stack overflows in the worst case.
- Use the proper mechanism for detecting soft interrupts in the recursion
protection.
- Make the resursion protection simpler and more robust.
- Simplify the scheduling of event groups to make the code more robust and
prepare for fixing the issues vs. scheduling of exclusive event groups.
- Prevent event multiplexing and rotation for exclusive event groups
- Correct the perf event attribute exclusive semantics to take pinned
events, e.g. the PMU watchdog, into account
- Make the anythread filtering conditional for Intel's generic PMU
counters as it is not longer guaranteed to be supported on newer
CPUs. Check the corresponding CPUID leaf to make sure.
- Fixup a duplicate initialization in an array which was probably cause by
the usual copy & paste - forgot to edit mishap.

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.
