Pull perf updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"Perf updates and fixes:
Kernel:
- Handle events which have the bpf_event attribute set as side band
events as they carry information about BPF programs.
- Add missing switch-case fall-through comments
Libraries:
- Fix leaks and double frees in error code paths.
- Prevent buffer overflows in libtraceevent
Tools:
- Improvements in handling Intel BT/PTS
- Add BTF ELF markers to perf trace BPF programs to improve output
- Support --time, --cpu, --pid and --tid filters for perf diff
- Calculate the column width in perf annotate as the hardcoded 6
characters for the instruction are not sufficient
- Small fixes all over the place"

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.
