Performance oriented customized Linux kernel based on the mainline kernel.

- Correct the permission checks for perf event which send SIGTRAP to a
different process and clean up that code to be more readable.
- Prevent an out of bound MSR access in the x86 perf code which happened
due to an incomplete limiting to the actually available hardware
counters.
- Prevent access to the AMD64_EVENTSEL_HOSTONLY bit when running inside a
guest.
- Handle small core counter re-enabling correctly by issuing an ACK right
before reenabling it to prevent a stale PEBS record being kept around.

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.
