- Add --synth=no option for record, as there is no need to symbolize,
lock names comes from the tracepoints.

perf record:

- Threaded recording, opt-in, via the new --threads command line
option.

- Improve AMD IBS (Instruction-Based Sampling) error handling
messages.

perf script:

- Add 'brstackinsnlen' field (use it with -F) for branch stacks.

- Output branch sample type in 'perf script'.

perf report:

- Add "addr_from" and "addr_to" sort dimensions.

- Print branch stack entry type in 'perf report --dump-raw-trace'

- Fix symbolization for chrooted workloads.

Hardware tracing:

Intel PT:

- Add CFE (Control Flow Event) and EVD (Event Data) packets support.

- Add MODE.Exec IFLAG bit support.

Explanation about these features from the "Intel® 64 and IA-32
architectures software developer’s manual combined volumes: 1, 2A,
2B, 2C, 2D, 3A, 3B, 3C, 3D, and 4" PDF at:

https://cdrdv2.intel.com/v1/dl/getContent/671200

At page 3951:
"32.2.4

Event Trace is a capability that exposes details about the
asynchronous events, when they are generated, and when their
corresponding software event handler completes execution. These
include:

o Interrupts, including NMI and SMI, including the interrupt
vector when defined.

o Faults, exceptions including the fault vector.

- Page faults additionally include the page fault address,
when in context.

o Event handler returns, including IRET and RSM.

o VM exits and VM entries.¹

- VM exits include the values written to the “exit reason”
and “exit qualification” VMCS fields. INIT and SIPI events.

o TSX aborts, including the abort status returned for the RTM
instructions.

o Shutdown.

Additionally, it provides indication of the status of the
Interrupt Flag (IF), to indicate when interrupts are masked"

ARM CoreSight:

- Use advertised caps/min_interval as default sample_period on ARM
spe.

- Update deduction of TRCCONFIGR register for branch broadcast on
ARM's CoreSight ETM.

Vendor Events (JSON):

Intel:

- Update events and metrics for: Alderlake, Broadwell, Broadwell DE,
BroadwellX, CascadelakeX, Elkhartlake, Bonnell, Goldmont,
GoldmontPlus, Westmere EP-DP, Haswell, HaswellX, Icelake, IcelakeX,
Ivybridge, Ivytown, Jaketown, Knights Landing, Nehalem EP,
Sandybridge, Silvermont, Skylake, Skylake Server, SkylakeX,
Tigerlake, TremontX, Westmere EP-SP, and Westmere EX.

ARM:

- Add support for HiSilicon CPA PMU aliasing.

perf stat:

- Fix forked applications enablement of counters.

- The 'slots' should only be printed on a different order than the
one specified on the command line when 'topdown' events are
present, fix it.

Miscellaneous:

- Sync msr-index, cpufeatures header files with the kernel sources.

- Stop using some deprecated libbpf APIs in 'perf trace'.

- Fix some spelling mistakes.

- Refactor the maps pointers usage to pave the way for using refcount
debugging.

- Only offer the --tui option on perf top, report and annotate when
perf was built with libslang.

- Don't mention --to-ctf in 'perf data --help' when not linking with
the required library, libbabeltrace.

- Use ARRAY_SIZE() instead of ad hoc equivalent, spotted by
array_size.cocci.

- Enhance the matching of sub-commands abbreviations:
'perf c2c rec' -> 'perf c2c record'
'perf c2c recport -> error

- Set build-id using build-id header on new mmap records.

- Fix generation of 'perf --version' string.

perf test:

- Add test for the arm_spe event.

- Add test to check unwinding using fame-pointer (fp) mode on arm64.

- Make metric testing more robust in 'perf test'.

- Add error message for unsupported branch stack cases.

libperf:

- Add API for allocating new thread map array.

- Fix typo in perf_evlist__open() failure error messages in libperf
tests.

perf c2c:

- Replace bitmap_weight() with bitmap_empty() where appropriate"

libperf: Add API for allocating new thread map array

The existing API perf_thread_map__new_dummy() allocates new thread map
for one thread. I couldn't find a way to reallocate the map with more
threads, or to allocate a new map for more than one thread.

Having multiple threads in a thread map is essential for some use cases.
That's why a new API is proposed, which allocates a new thread map for
given number of threads: perf_thread_map__new_array()

"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.

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"
