Peter Zijlstra 0c1cbc18df perf/core: Fix perf_event_read()
perf_event_read() has a number of issues regarding the timekeeping bits.

 - The IPI didn't update group times when it found INACTIVE

 - The direct call would not re-check ->state after taking ctx->lock
   which can result in ->count and timestamps getting out of sync.

And we can make use of the ordering introduced for perf_event_stop()
to make it more accurate for ACTIVE.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
