Pull perf tool updates from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:
"New features:
- Add 'trace' subcommand for 'perf ftrace', setting the stage for
more 'perf ftrace' subcommands. Not using a subcommand yields the
previous behaviour of 'perf ftrace'.
- Add 'latency' subcommand to 'perf ftrace', that can use the
function graph tracer or a BPF optimized one, via the -b/--use-bpf
option.
E.g.:
$ sudo perf ftrace latency -a -T mutex_lock sleep 1

The original implementation of this command was in the bcc tool.
- Support --cputype option for hybrid events in 'perf stat'.
Improvements:
- Call chain improvements for ARM64.
- No need to do any affinity setup when profiling pids.
- Reduce multiplexing with duration_time in 'perf stat' metrics.
- Improve error message for uncore events, stating that some event
groups are can only be used in system wide (-a) mode.
- perf stat metric group leader fixes/improvements, including arch
specific changes to better support Intel topdown events.
- Probe non-deprecated sysfs path first, i.e. try the path
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuN/topology/thread_siblings first, then
the old /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuN/topology/core_cpus.
- Disable debuginfod by default in 'perf record', to avoid stalls on
distros such as Fedora 35.
- Use unbuffered output in 'perf bench' when pipe/tee'ing to a file.
- Enable ignore_missing_thread in 'perf trace'
Fixes:
- Avoid TUI crash when navigating in the annotation of recursive
functions.
- Fix hex dump character output in 'perf script'.
- Fix JSON indentation to 4 spaces standard in the ARM vendor event
files.
- Fix use after free in metric__new().
- Fix IS_ERR_OR_NULL() usage in the perf BPF loader.
- Fix up cross-arch register support, i.e. when printing register
names take into account the architecture where the perf.data file
was collected.
- Fix SMT fallback with large core counts.
- Don't lower case MetricExpr when parsing JSON files so as not to
lose info such as the ":G" event modifier in metrics.
perf test:
- Add basic stress test for sigtrap handling to 'perf test'.
- Fix 'perf test' failures on s/390
- Enable system wide for metricgroups test in 'perf test´.
- Use 3 digits for test numbering now we can have more tests.
Arch specific:
- Add events for Arm Neoverse N2 in the ARM JSON vendor event files
- Support PERF_MEM_LVLNUM encodings in powerpc, that came from a
single patch series, where I incorrectly merged the kernel bits,
that were then reverted after coordination with Michael Ellerman
and Stephen Rothwell.
- Add ARM SPE total latency as PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT.
- Update AMD documentation, with info on raw event encoding.
- Add support for global and local variants of the "p_stage_cyc" sort
key, applicable to perf.data files collected on powerpc.
- Remove duplicate and incorrect aux size checks in the ARM CoreSight
ETM code.
Refactorings:
- Add a perf_cpu abstraction to disambiguate CPUs and CPU map
indexes, fixing problems along the way.
- Document CPU map methods.
UAPI sync:
- Update arch/x86/lib/mem{cpy,set}_64.S copies used in 'perf bench
mem memcpy'
- Sync UAPI files with the kernel sources: drm, msr-index,
cpufeatures.
Build system
- Enable warnings through HOSTCFLAGS.
- Drop requirement for libstdc++.so for libopencsd check
libperf:
- Make libperf adopt perf_counts_values__scale() from tools/perf/util/.
- Add a stat multiplexing test to libperf"

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.
