Pull perf updates from Ingo Molnar:
"Kernel side changes:
- Clean up the x86 instruction decoder (Masami Hiramatsu)
- Add new uprobes optimization for PUSH instructions on x86 (Yonghong
Song)
- Add MSR_IA32_THERM_STATUS to the MSR events (Stephane Eranian)
- Fix misc bugs, update documentation, plus various cleanups (Jiri
Olsa)
There's a large number of tooling side improvements:
- Intel-PT/BTS improvements (Adrian Hunter)
- Numerous 'perf trace' improvements (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- Introduce an errno code to string facility (Hendrik Brueckner)
- Various build system improvements (Jiri Olsa)
- Add support for CoreSight trace decoding by making the perf tools
use the external openCSD (Mathieu Poirier, Tor Jeremiassen)
- Add ARM Statistical Profiling Extensions (SPE) support (Kim
Phillips)
- libtraceevent updates (Steven Rostedt)
- Intel vendor event JSON updates (Andi Kleen)
- Introduce 'perf report --mmaps' and 'perf report --tasks' to show
info present in 'perf.data' (Jiri Olsa, Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- Add infrastructure to record first and last sample time to the
perf.data file header, so that when processing all samples in a
'perf record' session, such as when doing build-id processing, or
when specifically requesting that that info be recorded, use that
in 'perf report --time', that also got support for percent slices
in addition to absolute ones.
I.e. now it is possible to ask for the samples in the 10%-20% time
slice of a perf.data file (Jin Yao)
- Allow system wide 'perf stat --per-thread', sorting the result (Jin
Yao)
E.g.:
[root@jouet ~]# perf stat --per-thread --metrics IPC
^C

- Improve shell auto-completion of perf events (Jin Yao)
- 'perf probe' improvements (Masami Hiramatsu)
- Improve PMU infrastructure to support amp64's ThunderX2
implementation defined core events (Ganapatrao Kulkarni)
- Various annotation related improvements and fixes (Thomas Richter)
- Clarify usage of 'overwrite' and 'backward' in the evlist/mmap
code, removing the 'overwrite' parameter from several functions as
it was always used it as 'false' (Wang Nan)
- Fix/improve 'perf record' reverse recording support (Wang Nan)
- Improve command line options documentation (Sihyeon Jang)
- Optimize sample parsing for ordering events, where we don't need to
parse all the PERF_SAMPLE_ bits, just the ones leading to the
timestamp needed to reorder events (Jiri Olsa)
- Generalize the annotation code to support other source information
besides objdump/DWARF obtained ones, starting with python scripts,
that will is slated to be merged soon (Jiri Olsa)
- ... and a lot more that I failed to list, see the shortlog and
changelog for details"

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
