Linus Torvalds d310ec03a3 The performance event updates for v5.12 are:
- Add CPU-PMU support for Intel Sapphire Rapids CPUs
 
  - Extend the perf ABI with PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT_STRUCT, to offer two-parameter
    sampling event feedback. Not used yet, but is intended for Golden Cove
    CPU-PMU, which can provide both the instruction latency and the cache
    latency information for memory profiling events.
 
  - Remove experimental, default-disabled perfmon-v4 counter_freezing support
    that could only be enabled via a boot option. The hardware is hopelessly
    broken, we'd like to make sure nobody starts relying on this, as it would
    only end in tears.
 
  - Fix energy/power events on Intel SPR platforms
 
  - Simplify the uprobes resume_execution() logic
 
  - Misc smaller fixes.

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.
