Pull perf fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
"A set of fixes and improvements for the perf subsystem:
Kernel fixes:
- Install cgroup events to the correct CPU context to prevent a
potential list double add
- Prevent an integer underflow in the perf mlock accounting
- Add a missing prototype for arch_perf_update_userpage()
Tooling:
- Add a missing unlock in the error path of maps__insert() in perf
maps.
- Fix the build with the latest libbfd
- Fix the perf parser so it does not delete parse event terms, which
caused a regression for using perf with the ARM CoreSight as the
sink configuration was missing due to the deletion.
- Fix the double free in the perf CPU map merging test case
- Add the missing ustring support for the perf probe command"

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.
