Linus Torvalds 96f86ff083 perf tools changes for v6.0: 2nd batch
- 'perf c2c' now supports ARM64, adjust its output to cope with differences with
   what is in x86_64. Now go find false sharing on ARM64 (at least Neoverse) as well!
 
 - Refactor the JSON processing, making the output more compact and thus reducing the
   size of the resulting perf binary.
 
 - Improvements for 'perf offcpu' profiling, including tracking child processes.
 
 - Update Intel JSON metrics and events files for broadwellde, broadwellx,
   cascadelakex, haswellx, icelakex, ivytown, jaketown, knightslanding,
   sapphirerapids, skylakex and snowridgex.
 
 - Add 'perf stat' JSON output and a 'perf test' entry for it.
 
 - Ignore memfd and anonymous mmap events if jitdump present.
 
 - Refactor 'perf test' shell tests allowing subdirs.
 
 - Fix an error handling path in 'parse_perf_probe_command()'
 
 - Fixes for the guest Intel PT tracing patchkit in the 1st batch of this merge window.
 
 - Print debuginfod queries if -v option is used, to explain delays in processing when
   debuginfo servers are enabled to fetch DSOs with richer symbol tables.
 
 - Improve error message for 'perf record -p not_existing_pid'
 
 - Fix openssl and libbpf feature detection.
 
 - Add PMU pai_crypto event description for IBM z16 on 'perf list'.
 
 - Fix typos and duplicated words on comments in various places.

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.
