- Add AMD Fam17h RAPL support
- Introduce CAP_PERFMON to kernel and user space
- Add Zhaoxin CPU support
- Misc fixes and cleanups
Tooling changes:
perf record:
- Introduce --switch-output-event to use arbitrary events to be setup
and read from a side band thread and, when they take place a signal
be sent to the main 'perf record' thread, reusing the --switch-output
code to take perf.data snapshots from the --overwrite ring buffer, e.g.:
# perf record --overwrite -e sched:* \
--switch-output-event syscalls:*connect* \
workload
will take perf.data.YYYYMMDDHHMMSS snapshots up to around the
connect syscalls.
- Add --num-synthesize-threads option to control degree of parallelism of the
synthesize_mmap() code which is scanning /proc/PID/task/PID/maps and can be
time consuming. This mimics pre-existing behaviour in 'perf top'.
perf bench:
- Add a multi-threaded synthesize benchmark.
- Add kallsyms parsing benchmark.
Intel PT support:
- Stitch LBR records from multiple samples to get deeper backtraces,
there are caveats, see the csets for details.
- Allow using Intel PT to synthesize callchains for regular events.
- Add support for synthesizing branch stacks for regular events (cycles,
instructions, etc) from Intel PT data.
Misc changes:
- Updated perf vendor events for power9 and Coresight.
- Add flamegraph.py script via 'perf flamegraph'
- Misc other changes, fixes and cleanups - see the Git log for details.

Also, since over the last couple of years perf tooling has matured and
decoupled from the kernel perf changes to a large degree, going
forward Arnaldo is going to send perf tooling changes via direct pull
requests"

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.
