| Patch 2 simplifies and fixes a bug in catalog_read() which causes the

| 	[Michael Ellerman] Cleanup patches 1 and 2 and fix a bug

| Cody P Schafer (3):
|   powerpc/perf/hv-24x7: use kmem_cache instead of aligned stack
|     allocations
|   perf Documentation: sysfs events/ interfaces
|   perf Documentation: remove duplicated docs for powerpc cpu specific
|     events

Per Michael Ellerman's suggestion, attaching an informal test case to
demonstrate the bug and the fix.
