Kim Phillips ffd3d18c20 perf tools: Add ARM Statistical Profiling Extensions (SPE) support
'perf record' and 'perf report --dump-raw-trace' supported in this
release.

Example usage:

 # perf record -e arm_spe/ts_enable=1,pa_enable=1/ dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null count=10000
 # perf report --dump-raw-trace

Note that the perf.data file is portable, so the report can be run on
another architecture host if necessary.

Output will contain raw SPE data and its textual representation, such
as:

0x5c8 [0x30]: PERF_RECORD_AUXTRACE size: 0x200000  offset: 0  ref: 0x1891ad0e  idx: 1  tid: 2227  cpu: 1

Other release notes:

- applies to acme's perf/{core,urgent} branches, likely elsewhere

- Report is self-contained within the tool.
  Record requires enabling the kernel SPE driver by
  setting CONFIG_ARM_SPE_PMU.

- The intel-bts implementation was used as a starting point; its
  min/default/max buffer sizes and power of 2 pages granularity need to be
  revisited for ARM SPE

- Recording across multiple SPE clusters/domains not supported

- Snapshot support (record -S), and conversion to native perf events
  (e.g., via 'perf inject --itrace'), are also not supported

- Technically both cs-etm and spe can be used simultaneously, however
  disabled for simplicity in this release

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
