- Fix printing 'phys_addr' in 'perf script'. - Fix failure to add events with 'perf probe' in ppc64 due to not removing leading dot (ppc64 ABIv1). - Fix cpu_map__item() python binding building. - Support event alias in form foo-bar-baz, add pmu-events and parse-event tests for it. - No need to setup affinities when starting a workload or attaching to a pid. - Use path__join() to compose a path instead of ad-hoc snprintf() equivalent. - Override attr->sample_period for non-libpfm4 events. - Use libperf cpumap APIs instead of accessing the internal state directly. - Sync x86 arch prctl headers and files changed by the new set_mempolicy_home_node syscall with the kernel sources. - Remove duplicate include in cpumap.h. - Remove redundant err variable.

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.
