      Pull more perf tools updates from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:
      
       - Add missing fields and remove some duplicate fields when printing a
         perf_event_attr.
      
       - Fix hybrid config terms list corruption.
      
       - Update kernel header copies, some resulted in new kernel features
         being automagically added to 'perf trace' syscall/tracepoint argument
         id->string translators.
      
       - Add a file generated during the documentation build to .gitignore.
      
       - Add an option to build without libbfd, as some distros, like Debian
         consider its ABI unstable.
      
       - Add support to print a textual representation of IBS raw sample data
         in 'perf report'.
      
       - Fix bpf 'perf test' sample mismatch reporting
      
       - Fix passing arguments to stackcollapse report in a 'perf script'
         python script.
      
       - Allow build-id with trailing zeros.
      
       - Look for ImageBase in PE file to compute .text offset.

       "Updates for the SMP and CPU hotplug:
      
         - Remove DEFINE_SMP_CALL_CACHE_FUNCTION() which is a left over of the
           original hotplug code and now causing trouble with the ARM64 cache
           topology setup due to the pointless SMP function call.
      
           It's not longer required as the hotplug callbacks are guaranteed to
           be invoked on the upcoming CPU.

      Pull misc driver fix from Greg KH:
       "Here is a single patch for 5.15-rc1, for the lkdtm misc driver.
      
        It resolves a build issue that many people were hitting with your
        current tree, and Kees and others felt would be good to get merged
        before -rc1 comes out, to prevent them from having to constantly hit
        it as many development trees restart on -rc1, not older -rc releases.
      
        It has NOT been in linux-next, but has passed 0-day testing and looks
        'obviously correct' when reviewing it locally :)"
