Build:
- Allow to generate vmlinux.h from BTF using `make GEN_VMLINUX_H=1`
and skip if the vmlinux has no BTF.
- Replace deprecated clang -target xxx option by --target=xxx.
perf record:
- Print event attributes with well known type and config symbols in the
debug output like below:
# perf record -e cycles,cpu-clock -C0 -vv true
<SNIP>

- Update AMD IBS event error message since it now support per-process
profiling but no priviledge filters.
$ sudo perf record -e ibs_op//k -C 0
Error:
AMD IBS doesn't support privilege filtering. Try again without
the privilege modifiers (like 'k') at the end.
perf lock contention:
- Support CSV style output using -x option
$ sudo perf lock con -ab -x, sleep 1

- Add --output option to save the data to a file not to be interfered
by other debug messages.
Test:
- Fix event parsing test on ARM where there's no raw PMU nor supports
PERF_PMU_CAP_EXTENDED_HW_TYPE.
- Update the lock contention test case for CSV output.
- Fix a segfault in the daemon command test.
Vendor events (JSON):
- Add has_event() to check if the given event is available on system
at runtime. On Intel machines, some transaction events may not be
present when TSC extensions are disabled.
- Update Intel event metrics.
Misc:
- Sort symbols by name using an external array of pointers instead of
a rbtree node in the symbol. This will save 16-bytes or 24-bytes
per symbol whether the sorting is actually requested or not.
- Fix unwinding DWARF callstacks using libdw when --symfs option is
used.

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.
