Linus Torvalds 8636df94ec perf tools changes for v6.1: 2nd batch
- Use BPF CO-RE (Compile Once, Run Everywhere) to support old kernels
   when using bperf (perf BPF based counters) with cgroups.
 
 - Support HiSilicon PCIe Performance Monitoring Unit (PMU), that
   monitors bandwidth, latency, bus utilization and buffer occupancy.
 
   Documented in Documentation/admin-guide/perf/hisi-pcie-pmu.rst.
 
 - User space tasks can migrate between CPUs, so when tracing selected
   CPUs, system-wide sideband is still needed, fix it in the setup of
   Intel PT on hybrid systems.
 
 - Fix metricgroups title message in 'perf list', it should state that
   the metrics groups are to be used with the '-M' option, not '-e'.
 
 - Sync the msr-index.h copy with the kernel sources, adding support
   for using "AMD64_TSC_RATIO" in filter expressions in 'perf trace' as
   well as decoding it when printing the MSR tracepoint arguments.
 
 - Fix program header size and alignment when generating a JIT ELF
   in 'perf inject'.
 
 - Add multiple new Intel PT 'perf test' entries, including a jitdump one.
 
 - Fix the 'perf test' entries for 'perf stat' CSV and JSON output when
   running on PowerPC due to an invalid topology number in that arch.
 
 - Fix the 'perf test' for arm_coresight failures on the ARM Juno system.
 
 - Fix the 'perf test' attr entry for PERF_FORMAT_LOST, adding this option
   to the or expression expected in the intercepted perf_event_open() syscall.
 
 - Add missing condition flags ('hs', 'lo', 'vc', 'vs') for arm64 in the 'perf
   annotate' asm parser.
 
 - Fix 'perf mem record -C' option processing, it was being chopped up
   when preparing the underlying 'perf record -e mem-events' and thus being
   ignored, requiring using '-- -C CPUs' as a workaround.
 
 - Improvements and tidy ups for 'perf test' shell infra.
 
 - Fix Intel PT information printing segfault in uClibc, where a NULL
   format was being passed to fprintf.

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.
