Linus Torvalds d223575e50 perf tools changes for v5.19: 1st batch
Intel PT:
 
 - Allow hardware tracing on KVM test programs.  In this case, the VM is not
   running an OS, but only the functions loaded into it by the hypervisor test
   program, and conveniently, loaded at the same virtual addresses.
 
 - Improve documentation:
 
   - Add link to perf wiki's page.
 
 - Cleanups
 
   - Delete now unusdd perf-with-kcore.sh script.
 
   - Remove unused machines__find_host().
 
 ARM SPE (Statistical Profile Extensions):
 
   - Add man page entry.
 
 Vendor Events:
 
   - Update various Intel event topics.
 
   - Update various microarch events.
 
   - Fix various cstate metrics.
 
   - Fix Alderlake metric groups.
 
   - Add sapphirerapids events.
 
   - Add JSON files for ARM Cortex A34, A35, A55, A510, A65, A73, A75, A77, A78,
     A710, X1, X2 and Neoverse E1.
 
   - Update Cortex A57/A72.
 
 perf stat:
 
   - Introduce stats for the user and system rusage times.
 
 perf c2c:
 
   - Prep work to support ARM systems.
 
 perf annotate:
 
   - Add --percent-limit option
 
 perf lock:
 
   - Add -t/--thread option for report.
 
   - Do not discard broken lock stats.
 
 perf bench:
 
   Add breakpoint benchmarks.
 
 perf test:
 
   - Limit to only run executable scripts in tests.
 
   - Add basic perf record tests.
 
   - Add stat record+report test.
 
   - Add basic stat and topdown group test.
 
   - Skip several tests when the user hasn't permission to perform them.
 
   - Fix test case 81 ("perf record tests") on s390x.
 
 perf version:
 
   - debuginfod support improvements.
 
 perf scripting python:
 
   - Expose symbol offset and source information.
 
 perf build:
 
   - Error for BPF skeletons without LIBBPF.
 
   - Use Python devtools for version autodetection rather than runtime.
 
 Miscellaneous:
 
   - Add riscv64 support to 'perf jitdump'.
 
   - Various fixes/tidy ups related to cpu_map.
 
   - Fixes for handling Intel hybrid systems.

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.
