Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:
- Automatically add BTF ELF markers to 'perf trace' BPF programs, so that
tools such as 'bpftool map dump' can pretty print map keys and values.
perf c2c:
Jiri Olsa:
- Fix report for empty NUMA node.
perf diff:
Jin Yao:
- Support --time, --cpu, --pid and --tid filter options.
perf probe:
Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:
- Clarify error message about not finding kernel modules debuginfo.
perf record:
Jiri Olsa:
- Fixup probing for max attr.precise_ip.
perf trace:
Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:
- Add missing %s lost in the 'msg_flags' recvmmsg arg when adding prefix suppression logic.
perf annotate:
Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:
- Calculate the max instruction name, align column to that, removing the
hardcoded max 6 chars and cope with instructions with names longer than that,
such as vpmovmskb, vpcmpeqb, etc.
kernel:
Song Liu:
- Consider events with attr.bpf_event set as side-band.
Gustavo A. R. Silva:
- Mark expected switch fall-through in perf_event_parse_addr_filter().
Libraries:
Jiri Olsa:
- Fix leaks and double frees on error paths.
libtraceevent:
Tony Jones:
- Fix buffer overflow in arg_eval().
python scripting:
Tony Jones:
- More python3 fixes.
Trivial:
Yang Wei:
- Remove needless extra semicolon in clang C++ glue code.
Intel PT/BTS:
Adrian Hunter:
- Improve auxtrace address filter error message when there is no DSO.
- Fix divide by zero when TSC is not available.
- Further improvements to the export to sqlite/posgresql python scripts
and to the GUI sqlviewer, exporting 'parent_id' so that we have enable
the creation of call trees.
Andi Kleen:
- Generalize function to copy from thread addr space from intel-bts code.

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.
