perf annotate:
- Add riscv64 support.
- Add fusion logic for AMD microarchs.
perf record:
- Add an option to control the synthesizing behavior:
--synth <no|all|task|mmap|cgroup>
Fine-tune event synthesis: default=all
core:
- Allow controlling synthesizing PERF_RECORD_ metadata events during record.
- perf.data reader prep work for multithreaded processing.
- Fix missing exclude_{host,guest} setting in PMUs that don't support it and
that were causing the feature detection code to disable it for all events,
even the ones in PMUs that support it.
- Fix the default use of precise events on AMD, that were always falling back
to non-precise because perf_event_attr.exclude_guest=1 was set and IBS does
not have filtering capability, refusing precise + exclude_guest.
- Add bitfield_swap() to handle branch_stack endian issue.
perf script:
- Show binary offsets for userspace addresses in callchains.
- Support instruction latency via new "ins_lat" selectable field.
- Add dlfilter-show-cycles
perf inject:
- Add vmlinux and ignore-vmlinux arguments, similar to other tools.
perf list:
- Display PMU prefix for partially supported hybrid cache events.
- Display hybrid PMU events with cpu type.
perf stat:
- Improve metrics documentation of data structures.
- Fix memory leaks in the metric code.
- Use NAN for missing event IDs.
- Don't compute unused events.
- Fix memory leak on error path.
- Encode and use metric-id as a metric qualifier.
- Allow metrics with no events.
- Avoid events for an 'if' constant result.
- Only add a referenced metric once.
- Simplify metric_refs calculation.
- Allow modifiers on metrics.
perf test:
- Add workload test of metric and metric groups.
- Workload test of all PMUs.
- vmlinux-kallsyms: Ignore hidden symbols.
- Add pmu-event test for event described as "config=".
- Verify more event members in pmu-events test.
- Add endian test for struct branch_flags on the sample-parsing test.
- Improve temp file cleanup in several tests.
perf daemon:
- Address MSAN warnings on send_cmd().
perf kmem:
- Improve man page for record options
perf srcline:
- Use long-running addr2line per DSO, greatly speeding up the 'srcline' sort order.
perf symbols:
- Ignore $a/$d symbols for ARM modules.
- Fix /proc/kcore access on 32 bit systems.
Kernel UAPI copies:
- Update copy of linux/socket.h with the kernel sources, no change in tooling output.
libbpf:
- Pull in bpf_program__get_prog_info_linear() from libbpf, too much specific to perf.
- Deprecate bpf_map__resize() in favor of bpf_map_set_max_entries()
- Install libbpf headers locally when building.
- Bump minimum LLVM C++ std to GNU++14.
libperf:
- Use binary search in perf_cpu_map__idx() as array are sorted.
libtracefs:
- Enable libtracefs dynamic linking.
libtraceevent:
- Increase logging when verbose.
Arch specific:
PowerPC:
- Add support to expose instruction and data address registers as part of
extended regs.

JSON parser:
- Support ConfigCode to set the config= in PMUs like:
$ cat /sys/bus/event_source/devices/hisi_sccl1_ddrc3/events/act_cmd
config=0x5

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.
