Pull perf tools fixes from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo: - Set PERF_SAMPLE_PERIOD if attr->freq is set. - Remove trailing commas from AMD JSON vendor event files. - Don't clear event's period if set by a event definition term. - Leader sampling shouldn't clear sample period in 'perf test'. - Fix the "signal" test inline assembly when built with DEBUG=1. - Fix memory leaks detected by ASAN, some in normal paths, some in error paths. - Fix 2 memory sanitizer warnings in 'perf bench'. - Fix the ratio comments of miss-events in 'perf stat'. - Prevent override of attr->sample_period for libpfm4 events. - Sync kvm.h and in.h headers with the kernel sources. * tag 'perf-tools-fixes-for-v5.9-2020-09-16' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/acme/linux: perf stat: Fix the ratio comments of miss-events perf test: Free formats for perf pmu parse test perf metric: Do not free metric when failed to resolve perf metric: Free metric when it failed to resolve perf metric: Release expr_parse_ctx after testing perf test: Fix memory leaks in parse-metric test perf parse-event: Fix memory leak in evsel->unit perf evlist: Fix cpu/thread map leak perf metric: Fix some memory leaks - part 2 perf metric: Fix some memory leaks perf test: Free aliases for PMU event map aliases test perf vendor events amd: Remove trailing commas perf test: Leader sampling shouldn't clear sample period perf record: Don't clear event's period if set by a term tools headers UAPI: update linux/in.h copy tools headers UAPI: Sync kvm.h headers with the kernel sources perf record: Prevent override of attr->sample_period for libpfm4 events perf record: Set PERF_RECORD_PERIOD if attr->freq is set. perf bench: Fix 2 memory sanitizer warnings perf test: Fix the "signal" test inline assembly
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.
