Platform PMU changes:
=====================
- x86/intel:
- Add new Intel Alder Lake and Raptor Lake support
- x86/amd:
- AMD Zen4 IBS extensions support
- Add AMD PerfMonV2 support
- Add AMD Fam19h Branch Sampling support
Generic changes:
================
- signal: Deliver SIGTRAP on perf event asynchronously if blocked
Perf instrumentation can be driven via SIGTRAP, but this causes a problem
when SIGTRAP is blocked by a task & terminate the task.
Allow user-space to request these signals asynchronously (after they get
unblocked) & also give the information to the signal handler when this
happens:
" To give user space the ability to clearly distinguish synchronous from
asynchronous signals, introduce siginfo_t::si_perf_flags and
TRAP_PERF_FLAG_ASYNC (opted for flags in case more binary information is
required in future).
The resolution to the problem is then to (a) no longer force the signal
(avoiding the terminations), but (b) tell user space via si_perf_flags
if the signal was synchronous or not, so that such signals can be
handled differently (e.g. let user space decide to ignore or consider
the data imprecise). "
- Unify/standardize the /sys/devices/cpu/events/* output format.
- Misc fixes & cleanups.

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.
