Internal cleanup:
- Refactor PMU data management to handle hybrid systems in a generic way.
Do more work in the lexer so that legacy event types parse more easily.
A side-effect of this is that if a PMU is specified, scanning sysfs is
avoided improving start-up time.
- Fix hybrid metrics, for example, the TopdownL1 works for both performance
and efficiency cores on Intel machines. To support this, sort and regroup
events after parsing.
- Add reference count checking for the 'thread' data structure.
- Lots of fixes for memory leaks in various places thanks to the ASAN and
Ian's refcount checker.
- Reduce the binary size by replacing static variables with local or
dynamically allocated memory.
- Introduce shared_mutex for annotate data to reduce memory footprint.
- Make filesystem access library functions more thread safe.
Test:
- Organize cpu_map tests into a single suite.
- Add metric value validation test to check if the values are within correct
value ranges.
- Add perf stat stdio output test to check if event and metric names match.
- Add perf data converter JSON output test.
- Fix a lot of issues reported by shellcheck(1). This is a preparation to
enable shellcheck by default.
- Make the large x86 new instructions test optional at build time using
EXTRA_TESTS=1.
- Add a test for libpfm4 events.
perf script:
- Add 'dsoff' outpuf field to display offset from the DSO.
$ perf script -F comm,pid,event,ip,dsoff

- Adjust width for large PID/TID values.
perf report:
- Robustify reading addr2line output for srcline by checking sentinel output
before the actual data and by using timeout of 1 second.
- Allow config terms (like 'name=ABC') with breakpoint events.
$ perf record -e mem:0x55feb98dd169:x/name=breakpoint/ -p 19646 -- sleep 1
perf annotate:
- Handle x86 instruction suffix like 'l' in 'movl' generally.
- Parse instruction operands properly even with a whitespace. This is needed
for llvm-objdump output.
- Support RISC-V binutils lookup using the triplet prefixes.
- Add '<' and '>' key to navigate to prev/next symbols in TUI.
- Fix instruction association and parsing for LoongArch.
perf stat:
- Add --per-cache aggregation option, optionally specify a cache level
like `--per-cache=L2`.
$ sudo perf stat --per-cache -a -e ls_dmnd_fills_from_sys.ext_cache_remote --\
taskset -c 0-15,64-79,128-143,192-207\

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.
