   # HEAD: 6d48436560e91be858158e227f21aab71698814e selftests/bpf: Fix uprobe_sigill test for uprobe syscall error value

Performance events updates for v6.18:

Core perf code updates:

 - Convert mmap() related reference counts to refcount_t. This
   is in reaction to the recently fixed refcount bugs, which
   could have been detected earlier and could have mitigated
   the bug somewhat. (Thomas Gleixner, Peter Zijlstra)

 - Clean up and simplify the callchain code, in preparation
   for sframes. (Steven Rostedt, Josh Poimboeuf)

Uprobes updates:

 - Add support to optimize usdt probes on x86-64, which
   gives a substantial speedup. (Jiri Olsa)

 - Cleanups and fixes on x86 (Peter Zijlstra)

PMU driver updates:

 - Various optimizations and fixes to the Intel PMU driver
   (Dapeng Mi)

Misc cleanups and fixes:

 - Remove redundant __GFP_NOWARN (Qianfeng Rong)

 Thanks,

	Ingo
