- Make 'perf kmem' cope with the removal of some kmem:kmem_cache_alloc_node and
kmem:kmalloc_node in the 11e9734bcb6a7361 ("mm/slab_common: unify NUMA and
UMA version of tracepoints") commit, making sure it works with Linux >= 6.2 as well
as with older kernels where those tracepoints are present.
- Also make it handle the new "node" kmem:kmalloc and kmem:kmem_cache_alloc tracepoint
field introduced in that same commit.
- Fix hardware tracing PMU address filter duplicate symbol selection, that was
preventing to match with static functions with the same name present in different
object files.
- Fix regression on what linux/types.h file gets used to build the "BPF prologue"
'perf test' entry, the system one lacks the fmode_t definition used in this test,
so provide that type in the test itself.
- Avoid build breakage with libbpf < 0.8.0 + LIBBPF_DYNAMIC=1. If the user asks for
linking with the libbpf package provided by the distro, then it has to be >= 0.8.0.
Using the libbpf supplied with the kernel would be a fallback in that case.
- Fix the build when libbpf isn't available or explicitly disabled via NO_LIBBPF=1.
- Don't try to install libtraceevent plugins as its not anymore in the kernel sources
and will thus always fail.

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.
