Pull perf updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"Core:
- Better handling of page table leaves on archictectures which have
architectures have non-pagetable aligned huge/large pages. For such
architectures a leaf can actually be part of a larger entry.
- Prevent a deadlock vs exec_update_mutex
Architectures:
- The related updates for page size calculation of leaf entries
- The usual churn to support new CPUs
- Small fixes and improvements 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.
