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>

If you say Y here, then your Linux box will be able to act as a

This code is a "best effort" to comply with the HSR standard as
described in IEC 62439-3:2010 (HSRv0) and IEC 62439-3:2012 (HSRv1),

You need to perform any and all necessary tests yourself before
relying on this code in a safety critical system!
