Ingo Molnar 61f63e3837 perf/core improvements and fixes:
New features:
 
 - Add 'brstackinsn' field in 'perf script' to reuse the x86 instruction
   decoder used in the Intel PT code to study hot paths to samples (Andi Kleen)
 
 Kernel:
 
 - Default UPROBES_EVENTS to Y (Alexei Starovoitov)
 
 - Fix check for kretprobe offset within function entry (Naveen N. Rao)
 
 Infrastructure:
 
 - Introduce util func is_sdt_event() (Ravi Bangoria)
 
 - Make perf_event__synthesize_mmap_events() scale on older kernels where
   reading /proc/pid/maps is way slower than reading /proc/pid/task/pid/maps (Stephane Eranian)

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
