mainlining shenanigans
406254918b
Tools:
- Add cgroup support for 'perf top' (-G).
- Add support for KVM MSRs in 'perf kvm stat'
- Support probes on init functions in 'perf probe', to support the
bootconfig format.
- Improve error reporting in 'perf probe'.
- No need to synthesize BUILD_ID records in 'perf inject' if the MMAP2
records have build ids already.
- Allow toggling source code ('s' hotkey) in 'perf annotate' in all
lines.
- Add itrace options support to 'perf annotate'.
- Support to custom DSO filters for 'perf script'.
Hardware enablement:
- Support the HYBRID_TOPOLOGY and HYBRID_CPU_PMU_CAPS features in the
perf.data file header.
- Support PMU prefix for mem-load and mem-store events, to support
hybrid (BIG little) CPUs such as Intel's Alderlake.
- Support hybrid CPUs in 'perf mem' and 'perf c2c'.
Hardware tracing:
- Intel PT now supports tracing KVM guests.
- Timestamp improvements for ARM's Coresight.
Build:
- Add 'make -C tools/perf build-test' entries for libopencsd/CORESIGHT=1
and libbpf/LIBBPF_DYNAMIC=1.
- Use bison's --file-prefix-map option to avoid storing full paths when
using O= in the perf build.
Tests:
- Improve the 'perf test' entries for libpfm4 and BPF counters.
Misc:
- Sync msr-index.h, mount.h, kvm headers with the kernel originals.
- Add vendor events and metrics for Intel's Icelake Server & Client.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
