Pull perf fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
"A pile of perf related fixes:
Kernel:
- Fix SLOTS PEBS event constraints for Icelake CPUs
- Add the missing mask bit to allow counting hardware generated
prefetches on L3 for Icelake CPUs
- Make the test for hypervisor platforms more accurate (as far as
possible)
- Handle PMUs correctly which override event->cpu
- Yet another missing fallthrough annotation
Tools:
perf.data:
- Fix loading of compressed data split across adjacent records
- Fix buffer size setting for processing CPU topology perf.data
header.
perf stat:
- Fix segfault for event group in repeat mode
- Always separate "stalled cycles per insn" line, it was being
appended to the "instructions" line.
perf script:
- Fix --max-blocks man page description.
- Improve man page description of metrics.
- Fix off by one in brstackinsn IPC computation.
perf probe:
- Avoid calling freeing routine multiple times for same pointer.
perf build:
- Do not use -Wshadow on gcc < 4.8, avoiding too strict warnings
treated as errors, breaking the build"

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.
