- Use BPF CO-RE (Compile Once, Run Everywhere) to support old kernels
when using bperf (perf BPF based counters) with cgroups.
- Support HiSilicon PCIe Performance Monitoring Unit (PMU), that
monitors bandwidth, latency, bus utilization and buffer occupancy.
Documented in Documentation/admin-guide/perf/hisi-pcie-pmu.rst.
- User space tasks can migrate between CPUs, so when tracing selected
CPUs, system-wide sideband is still needed, fix it in the setup of
Intel PT on hybrid systems.
- Fix metricgroups title message in 'perf list', it should state that
the metrics groups are to be used with the '-M' option, not '-e'.
- Sync the msr-index.h copy with the kernel sources, adding support
for using "AMD64_TSC_RATIO" in filter expressions in 'perf trace' as
well as decoding it when printing the MSR tracepoint arguments.
- Fix program header size and alignment when generating a JIT ELF
in 'perf inject'.
- Add multiple new Intel PT 'perf test' entries, including a jitdump one.
- Fix the 'perf test' entries for 'perf stat' CSV and JSON output when
running on PowerPC due to an invalid topology number in that arch.
- Fix the 'perf test' for arm_coresight failures on the ARM Juno system.
- Fix the 'perf test' attr entry for PERF_FORMAT_LOST, adding this option
to the or expression expected in the intercepted perf_event_open() syscall.
- Add missing condition flags ('hs', 'lo', 'vc', 'vs') for arm64 in the 'perf
annotate' asm parser.
- Fix 'perf mem record -C' option processing, it was being chopped up
when preparing the underlying 'perf record -e mem-events' and thus being
ignored, requiring using '-- -C CPUs' as a workaround.
- Improvements and tidy ups for 'perf test' shell infra.
- Fix Intel PT information printing segfault in uClibc, where a NULL
format was being passed to fprintf.
