BPF:
Song Liu:
- Add support for annotating BPF programs, using the PERF_RECORD_BPF_EVENT
and PERF_RECORD_KSYMBOL recently added to the kernel and plugging
binutils's libopcodes disassembly of BPF programs with the existing
annotation interfaces in 'perf annotate', 'perf report' and 'perf top'
various output formats (--stdio, --stdio2, --tui).
perf list:
Andi Kleen:
- Filter metrics when using substring search.
perf record:
Andi Kleen:
- Allow to limit number of reported perf.data files
- Clarify help for --switch-output.
perf report:
Andi Kleen
- Indicate JITed code better.
- Show all sort keys in help output.
perf script:
Andi Kleen:
- Support relative time.
perf stat:
Andi Kleen:
- Improve scaling.
General:
Changbin Du:
- Fix some mostly error path memory and reference count leaks found
using gcc's ASan and UBSan.
Vendor events:
Mamatha Inamdar:
- Remove P8 HW events which are not supported.

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.
