Merge tag 'v5.7-rc1' into locking/kcsan, to resolve conflicts and refresh
Resolve these conflicts: arch/x86/Kconfig arch/x86/kernel/Makefile Do a minor "evil merge" to move the KCSAN entry up a bit by a few lines in the Kconfig to reduce the probability of future conflicts. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>

This option is only applied to TUI.
call-graph.*::
- When sub-commands 'top' and 'report' work with -g/—-children
- there're options in control of call-graph.
+ The following controls the handling of call-graphs (obtained via the
+ -g/--call-graph options).
call-graph.record-mode::
- The record-mode can be 'fp' (frame pointer), 'dwarf' and 'lbr'.
- The value of 'dwarf' is effective only if perf detect needed library
- (libunwind or a recent version of libdw).
- 'lbr' only work for cpus that support it.
+ The mode for user space can be 'fp' (frame pointer), 'dwarf'
+ and 'lbr'. The value 'dwarf' is effective only if libunwind
+ (or a recent version of libdw) is present on the system;
+ the value 'lbr' only works for certain cpus. The method for
+ kernel space is controlled not by this option but by the
+ kernel config (CONFIG_UNWINDER_*).
call-graph.dump-size::
The size of stack to dump in order to do post-unwinding. Default is 8192 (byte).
