Pull perf events updates from Ingo Molnar:
- Implement per-PMU context rescheduling to significantly improve
single-PMU performance, and related cleanups/fixes (Peter Zijlstra
and Namhyung Kim)
- Fix ancient bug resulting in a lot of events being dropped
erroneously at higher sampling frequencies (Luo Gengkun)
- uprobes enhancements:
- Implement RCU-protected hot path optimizations for better
performance:
"For baseline vs SRCU, peak througput increased from 3.7 M/s
(million uprobe triggerings per second) up to about 8 M/s. For
uretprobes it's a bit more modest with bump from 2.4 M/s to
5 M/s.
For SRCU vs RCU Tasks Trace, peak throughput for uprobes
increases further from 8 M/s to 10.3 M/s (+28%!), and for
uretprobes from 5.3 M/s to 5.8 M/s (+11%), as we have more
work to do on uretprobes side.
Even single-thread (no contention) performance is slightly
better: 3.276 M/s to 3.396 M/s (+3.5%) for uprobes, and 2.055
M/s to 2.174 M/s (+5.8%) for uretprobes."
(Andrii Nakryiko et al)
- Document mmap_lock, don't abuse get_user_pages_remote() (Oleg
Nesterov)
- Cleanups & fixes to prepare for future work:
- Remove uprobe_register_refctr()
- Simplify error handling for alloc_uprobe()
- Make uprobe_register() return struct uprobe *
- Fold __uprobe_unregister() into uprobe_unregister()
- Shift put_uprobe() from delete_uprobe() to uprobe_unregister()
- BPF: Fix use-after-free in bpf_uprobe_multi_link_attach()
(Oleg Nesterov)
- New feature & ABI extension: allow events to use PERF_SAMPLE READ
with inheritance, enabling sample based profiling of a group of
counters over a hierarchy of processes or threads (Ben Gainey)
- Intel uncore & power events updates:
- Add Arrow Lake and Lunar Lake support
- Add PERF_EV_CAP_READ_SCOPE
- Clean up and enhance cpumask and hotplug support
(Kan Liang)
- Add LNL uncore iMC freerunning support
- Use D0:F0 as a default device
(Zhenyu Wang)
- Intel PT: fix AUX snapshot handling race (Adrian Hunter)
- Misc fixes and cleanups (James Clark, Jiri Olsa, Oleg Nesterov and
Peter Zijlstra)

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 reStructuredText 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.
