Pull perf tooling fixes from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:
- Update various UAPI headers, some automatically adding support for a
new MSR and the faccess2 syscall.
- Fix corner case NULL deref in the histograms code.
- Fix corner case NULL deref in 'perf stat' aggregation code.
- Fix array pointer deref and old style declaration in the parsing of
events.
- Fix segfault when processing ZSTD compressed perf.data files in 'perf
script' due to lack of initialization of the ZSTD library.
- Handle __attribute__((user)) in libtraceevent fixing the parsing of
syscall tracepoints with user buffers.
- Make libtraevent aware of __builtin_expect() appearing in tracepoint
fields.
- Make the BPF prologue generation use bpf_probe_read_{user,kernel}().
- Fix the '@user' attribute parsing in kprobes variables in 'perf
probe'.
- Fix error message when asking for -fsanitize=address without required
libraries.

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.
