Previously, this command returns no help message on aarch64:
-> ./perf record --user-regs=?
available registers:
Usage: perf record [<options>] [<command>]
or: perf record [<options>] -- <command> [<options>]
With this change, the registers are listed.
-> ./perf record --user-regs=?
available registers: x0 x1 x2 x3 x4 x5 x6 x7 x8 x9 x10 x11 x12 x13 x14 x15 x16 x17 x18 x19 x20 x21 x22 x23 x24 x25 x26 x27 x28 x29 lr sp pc
It's also now possible to record subsets of registers on aarch64:
-> ./perf record --user-regs=x4,x5 ls
-> ./perf report --dump-raw-trace

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.
