Pull perf fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
"A pile of perf updates:
Kernel side:
- Remove an incorrect warning in uprobe_init_insn() when
insn_get_length() fails. The error return code is handled at the
call site.
- Move the inline keyword to the right place in the perf ringbuffer
code to address a W=1 build warning.
Tooling:
perf stat:
- Fix metric column header display alignment
- Improve error messages for default attributes, providing better
output for error in command line.
- Add --interval-clear option, to provide a 'watch' like printing
perf script:
- Show hw-cache events too
perf c2c:
- Fix data dependency problem in layout of 'struct c2c_hist_entry'
Core:
- Do not blindly assume that 'struct perf_evsel' can be obtained via
a straight forward container_of() as there are call sites which
hand in a plain 'struct hist' which is not part of a container.
- Fix error index in the PMU event parser, so that error messages can
point to the problematic token"

============
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.
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.
