Mgerge remote-tracking branch 'torvalds/master' into perf/core
To sync headers, for instance, in this case tools/perf was ahead of upstream till Linus merged tip/perf/core to get the PERF_RECORD_TEXT_POKE changes: Warning: Kernel ABI header at 'tools/include/uapi/linux/perf_event.h' differs from latest version at 'include/uapi/linux/perf_event.h' diff -u tools/include/uapi/linux/perf_event.h include/uapi/linux/perf_event.h Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>

+Linux Base Virtual Function Driver for Intel(R) 10G Ethernet
+============================================================
+
+Intel 10 Gigabit Virtual Function Linux driver.
+Copyright(c) 1999-2018 Intel Corporation.

+========
+
+- Identifying Your Adapter
+- Known Issues
+- Support
+
+This driver supports 82599, X540, X550, and X552-based virtual function devices
+that can only be activated on kernels that support SR-IOV.
+
+For questions related to hardware requirements, refer to the documentation
+supplied with your Intel adapter. All hardware requirements listed apply to use
+with Linux.
+
+
+Identifying Your Adapter
+========================
+The driver is compatible with devices based on the following:
+
+ * Intel(R) Ethernet Controller 82598
+ * Intel(R) Ethernet Controller 82599
+ * Intel(R) Ethernet Controller X520
+ * Intel(R) Ethernet Controller X540
+ * Intel(R) Ethernet Controller x550
+ * Intel(R) Ethernet Controller X552
+ * Intel(R) Ethernet Controller X553
+
+For information on how to identify your adapter, and for the latest Intel
+network drivers, refer to the Intel Support website:
+https://www.intel.com/support
+
+Known Issues/Troubleshooting
+============================
+
+SR-IOV requires the correct platform and OS support.
+
+The guest OS loading this driver must support MSI-X interrupts.
+
+This driver is only supported as a loadable module at this time. Intel is not
+supplying patches against the kernel source to allow for static linking of the
+drivers.
+
+VLANs: There is a limit of a total of 64 shared VLANs to 1 or more VFs.
+
+
+Support
+=======
+For general information, go to the Intel support website at:
+
+https://www.intel.com/support/
+
+or the Intel Wired Networking project hosted by Sourceforge at:
+
+https://sourceforge.net/projects/e1000
+
+If an issue is identified with the released source code on a supported kernel
+with a supported adapter, email the specific information related to the issue
+to e1000-devel@lists.sf.net.
