Linus Torvalds 327ecdbc0f Performance events updates for v6.15:
Core:
 
   - Move perf_event sysctls into kernel/events/ (Joel Granados)
   - Use POLLHUP for pinned events in error (Namhyung Kim)
   - Avoid the read if the count is already updated (Peter Zijlstra)
   - Allow the EPOLLRDNORM flag for poll (Tao Chen)
 
   - locking/percpu-rwsem: Add guard support (Peter Zijlstra)
     [ NOTE: this got (mis-)merged into the perf tree due to related work. ]
 
 perf_pmu_unregister() related improvements: (Peter Zijlstra)
 
   - Simplify the perf_event_alloc() error path

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 reStructuredText 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.
