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.

[ Upstream commit 56cd0aef ] The PERF_EVENT_IOC_PERIOD ioctl command can be used to change the sample period of a running perf_event. Consequently, when calculating the next event period, the new period will only be considered after the previous one has overflowed. This patch changes the calculation of the remaining event ticks so that they are offset if the period has changed. See commit 3581fe0e ("ARM: 7556/1: perf: fix updated event period in response to PERF_EVENT_IOC_PERIOD") for details. Signed-off-by:Young Xiao <92siuyang@gmail.com> Signed-off-by:
