- Add perf support for nvdimm events, initially only for 'papr_scm'
devices.
- Deprecate the 'block aperture' support in libnvdimm, it only ever
existed in the specification, not in shipping product.

Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams:
"The update for this cycle includes the deprecation of block-aperture
mode and a new perf events interface for the papr_scm nvdimm driver.
The perf events approach was acked by PeterZ.

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.
