Ingo Molnar ecd380b8de perf/core improvements and fixes:
- Fixes for problems experienced with new gcc 8 warnings, that treated
   as errors, broke the build, related to snprintf and casting issues.
   (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo, Jiri Olsa, Josh Poinboeuf)
 
 - Fix build of new breakpoint 'perf test' entry with clang < 6, noticed
   on fedora 25, 26 and 27 (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
 
 - Workaround problem with symbol resolution in 'perf annotate', using
   the symbol name already present in the objdump output (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
 
 - Document 'perf top --ignore-vmlinux' (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
 
 - Fix out of bounds access on array fd when cnt is 100 in one of the
   'perf test' entries, detected using 'cpptest' (Colin Ian King)
 
 - Add support for the forced leader feature, i.e. 'perf report --group'
   for a group of events not really grouped when scheduled (without using
   {} to enclose the list of events in the command line) in pipe mode,
   e.g.:
 
   $ perf record -e cycles,instructions -o - kill | perf report --group -i -
 
 - Use right type to access array elements in 'perf probe' (Masami Hiramatsu)
 
 - Update POWER9 vendor events (those described in JSON format) (Sukadev Bhattiprolu)
 
 - Discard head in overwrite_rb_find_range() (Yisheng Xie)
 
 - Avoid setting 'quiet' to 'true' unnecessarily (Yisheng Xie)

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.
