perf script:
Andi Kleen:
- Fix recovery from LBR/binary mismatch in the "brstackinsn" --field.
perf annotate:
Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:
- Propagate errors so that meaningful messages can be presented to the
user in case of problems.
perf map:
Steve MacLean:
- Fix handling of maps partially overlapped, resolving symbols in the
ranges not replaced by new mmaps.
perf tests:
Ian Rogers:
- Use raise() instead of NULL derefs to avoid causing a SIGILL rather than a
SIGSEGV for optimized builds that turn NULL derefs into ud2 instructions.
perf LLVM:
Ian Rogers:
- Don't access out-of-scope array.
perf inject:
Steve MacLean:
- Fix JIT_CODE_MOVE filename, that was having a u64 truncaded into a 32-bit
snprintf format and also a missing ".so" suffix in another case.
libsubcmd:
Ian Rogers:
- Make _FORTIFY_SOURCE defines dependent on the feature, avoiding
false positives with with memory sanitizers such as LLVM's ASan.
Vendor specific events:
Intel:
Andi Kleen:
- Fix period for Intel fixed counters.
s390:
Thomas Richter (2):
- Fix some event details transaction for machine type 8561.
tools headers UAPI:
Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:
- Sync headers with the kernel, catching new usbdevfs ioctls and
madvise behaviours to properly decode in 'perf trace' output.
Documentation:
Steve MacLean:
- Correct and clarify jitdump spec.

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.
