- Introduce --total-cycles, for basic block profiling, further using data
obtained from LBR, an example should suffice:

perf record:
Adrian Hunter:
- Allow storing perf.data in a directory together with a copy of /proc/kcore.
Jiwei Sun:
- Add support for limit perf output file size, i.e.:
# perf record --all-cpus -F 10000 --max-size=4M sleep 10h
[ perf record: perf size limit reached (4097 KB), stopping session ]
[ perf record: Woken up 6 times to write data ]

perf probe:
Masami Hiramatsu:
Various fixes related to recent additions to the DWARF format:
- Fix to find range-only function instance
- Walk function lines in lexical blocks
- Fix to show function entry line as probe-able
- Fix wrong address verification
- Fix to probe a function which has no entry pc
- Fix to probe an inline function which has no entry pc
- Fix to list probe event with correct line number
- Fix to show inlined function callsite without entry_pc
- Fix to show ranges of variables in functions without entry_pc
- Return a better scope DIE if there is no best scope
- Skip end-of-sequence and non statement lines
- Filter out instances except for inlined subroutine and subprogram
- Fix to show calling lines of inlined functions
- Skip overlapped location on searching variables
perf inject:
Adrian Hunter:
- Do not strip evsels with --strip, as they are needed for create_gcov
(see the autofdo example in tools/perf/Documentation/intel-pt.txt).
Intel PT:
Adrian Hunter:
- Intel PT uses an auxtrace_cache to store the results of code-walking, to avoid
repeated decoding. Add an auxtrace_cache__remove to handle text poke events.
core:
Andi Kleen:
- Always preserve errno while cleaning up perf_event_open failures.
llvm:
Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:
- No need to tell that the request for saving a .o file for BPF events, as
expressed in ~/.perfconfig was satisfied, make that a debug message.
perf vendor events:
Intel:
Haiyan Song:
- Update CascadelakeX events to v1.05.
- Update all the Intel JSON metrics from TMAM 3.6.
Treewide:
Ian Rogers:
- Improve error paths, plugging leaks found using LLVM tools
such as libFuzzer.
jevents:
Yunfeng Ye:
- Fix resource leak in process_mapfile() and main()
perf kvm:
Igor Lubashev:
- Use evlist layer api when possible.
libsubcmd:
James Clark:
- Move EXTRA_FLAGS to the end to allow overriding existing flags.
- Use -O0 with DEBUG=1
perf diff:
Jin Yao:
- Don't use hack to skip column length calculation
CoreSight ETM:
Leo yan:
- Fix definition of macro TO_CS_QUEUE_NR
ARM64:
John Garry:
- Do not try to include libelf header files when its feature detection
failed, fixing the cross build for ARM64.
perf tests:
Leo Yan:
- Fix out of bounds memory access in the backward ring buffer test.

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.
