- Fix segfault when trying to process tracepoints present in a perf.data file and not linked with libtraceevent. - Fix build on uClibc systems by adding missing sys/types.h include, that was being obtained indirectly which stopped being the case when tools/lib/traceevent was removed. - Don't show commands in 'perf help' that depend on linking with libtraceevent when not building with that library, which is now a possibility since we no longer ship a copy in tools/lib/traceevent. - Fix failure in 'perf test' entry testing the combination of 'perf probe' user space function + 'perf record' + 'perf script' where it expects a backtrace leading to glibc's inet_pton() from 'ping' that now happens more than once with glibc 2.35 for IPv6 addreses. - Fix for the inet_pton perf test on s/390 where 'text_to_binary_address' now appears on the backtrace. - Fix build error on riscv due to missing header for 'struct perf_sample'. - Fix 'make -C tools perf_install' install variant by not propagating the 'subdir' to submakes for the 'install_headers' targets. - Fix handling of unsupported cgroup events when using BPF counters in 'perf stat'. - Count all cgroups, not just the last one when using 'perf stat --for-each-cgroup' with --bpf-counters. This makes the output using BPF counters match the output without using it, which was the intention all along, the output should be the same using --bpf-counters or not. - Fix 'perf lock contention' core dump related to not finding the "__sched_text_end" symbol on s/390. - Fix build failure when HEAD is signed: exclude the signature from the version string. - Add missing closedir() calls to in perf_data__open_dir(), plugging a fd leak.

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.
