Update all the Intel JSON metrics from Ahmad Yasin's TMAM 3.5 for Intel big core from Sandy Bridge to Cascade Lake. This has many improvements and new metircs - New TopDownL1_SMT group that provides a per SMT thread version of --topdown that does not require -a anymore. The drawback is increased multiplexing though since L1 TopDown does not fit into 4 generic counters anymore. - Added SMT aware versions of other metrics - Split SMT aware metrics into separate metrics to avoid unnecessary event collections - New metrics for better branch analysis: Estimated Branch_Mispredict_Costs, Instructions per taken Branch, Branch Instructions per Taken Branch, etc. - Instruction mix metrics: Instructions per load, Instructions per store, Instructions per Branch, Instructions per Call - New Cache metrics: Bandwidth to L1/L2/L3 caches. L1/L2/L3 misses per kilo instructions. memory level parallelism - New memory controller metrics: Normalized memory bandwidth in interval mode, Average memory latency, Average number of parallel read requests, - 3DXP persistent memory metrics for Cascade Lake: 3dxp read latency, 3dxp read/write bandwidth - Some other useful metrics like Instruction Level Parallelism, - Various other improvements. Not all metrics are available on all CPUs. Skylake has best coverage.

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.
