Ingo Molnar c3a3800fe4 perf/core improvements and fixes for 4.14:
New features:
 
 - Add PERF_SAMPLE_CALLCHAIN and PERF_RECORD_MMAP[2] to 'perf data' CTF
   conversion, allowing CTF trace visualization tools to show callchains
   and to resolve symbols (Geneviève Bastien)
 
 Improvements:
 
 - Use group read for event groups in 'perf stat', reducing overhead when
   groups are defined in the event specification, i.e. when using {} to
   enclose a list of events, asking them to be read at the same time,
   e.g.: "perf stat -e '{cycles,instructions}'" (Jiri Olsa)
 
 Fixes:
 
 - Do not overwrite perf_sample->weight in 'perf annotate' when
   processing samples, use whatever came from the kernel when
   perf_event_attr.sample_type has PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT set or just handle
   its default value, 0, when that is not set and "weight" is one of the
   sort orders chosen (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
 
 - 'perf annotate --show-total-period' fixes:
    - TUI should show period, not nr_samples
    - Set appropriate column width for period/percent
    - Fix the column header to show "Period" when when that is what
      is being asked for
   (Taeung Song, Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
 
 - Use default sort if evlist is empty, fixing pipe mode (David Carrillo-Cisneros)

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.
