Ingo Molnar 007b811b40 perf/core improvements and fixes:
User visible:
 
 - Allow adding and removing fields to the default 'perf script' columns,
   using + or - as field prefixes to do so (Andi Kleen)
 
 - Display titles in left frame in the annotate browser (Jin Yao)
 
 - Allow resolving the DSO name with 'perf script -F brstack{sym,off},dso'
   (Mark Santaniello)
 
 - Support function filtering in 'perf ftrace' (Namhyung Kim)
 
 - Allow specifying function call depth in 'perf ftrace' (Namhyumg Kim)
 
 Infrastructure:
 
 - Adopt __noreturn, __printf, __scanf, noinline, __packed and __aligned
   __alignment__(()) markers, to make the tools/ source code base to be
   more compact and look more like kernel code (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
 
 - Remove unnecessary check in annotate_browser_write() (Jin Yao)
 
 - Return arch from symbol__disassemble() so that callers, such as
   the annotate TUI browser to use arch specific formattings, such
   as the upcoming instruction micro-op fusion on Intel Core (Jin Yao)
 
 - Remove superfluous check before use in the coresight code base (Kim
   Phillips)
 
 - Remove unused SAMPLE_SIZE defines and BTS priv array (Kim Phillips)
 
 - Error handling fix/tidy ups in 'perf config' (Taeung Song)
 
 - Avoid error in the BPF proggie built with clang in 'perf test llvm'
   when PROFILE_ALL_BRANCHES is set (Wang Nan)

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.
