 New features:
 
 - Support instruction latency in 'perf report', with both memory latency
   (weight) and instruction latency information, users can locate expensive load
   instructions and understand time spent in different stages.
 
 - Extend 'perf c2c' to display the number of loads which were blocked by data
   or address conflict.
 
 - Add 'perf stat' support for L2 topdown events in systems such as Intel's
   Sapphire rapids server.
 
 - Add support for PERF_SAMPLE_CODE_PAGE_SIZE in various tools, as a sort key, for instance:
 
     perf report --stdio --sort=comm,symbol,code_page_size
 
 - New 'perf daemon' command to run long running sessions while providing a way to control
   the enablement of events without restarting a traditional 'perf record' session.
 
 - Enable counting events for BPF programs in 'perf stat' just like for other
   targets (tid, cgroup, cpu, etc), e.g.:
 
       # perf stat -e ref-cycles,cycles -b 254 -I 1000
          1.487903822            115,200      ref-cycles
          1.487903822             86,012      cycles
          2.489147029             80,560      ref-cycles
          2.489147029             73,784      cycles
       ^C#
 
   The example above counts 'cycles' and 'ref-cycles' of BPF program of id 254.
   It is similar to bpftool-prog-profile command, but more flexible.
 
 - Support the new layout for PERF_RECORD_MMAP2 to carry the DSO build-id using infrastructure
   generalised from the eBPF subsystem, removing the need for traversing the perf.data file
   to collect build-ids at the end of 'perf record' sessions and helping with long running
   sessions where binaries can get replaced in updates, leading to possible mis-resolution
   of symbols.
 
 - Support filtering by hex address in 'perf script'.
 
 - Support DSO filter in 'perf script', like in other perf tools.
 
 - Add namespaces support to 'perf inject'
 
 - Add support for SDT (Dtrace Style Markers) events on ARM64.
 
 perf record:
 
 - Fix handling of eventfd() when draining a buffer in 'perf record'.
 
 - Improvements to the generation of metadata events for pre-existing threads (mmaps, comm, etc),
   speeding up the work done at the start of system wide or per CPU 'perf record' sessions.
 
 Hardware tracing:
 
 - Initial support for tracing KVM with Intel PT.
 
 - Intel PT fixes for IPC
 
 - Support Intel PT PSB (synchronization packets) events.
 
 - Automatically group aux-output events to overcome --filter syntax.
 
 - Enable PERF_SAMPLE_DATA_SRC on ARMs SPE.
 
 - Update ARM's CoreSight hardware tracing OpenCSD library to v1.0.0.
 
 perf annotate TUI:
 
 - Fix handling of 'k' ("show line number") hotkey
 
 - Fix jump parsing for C++ code.
 
 perf probe:
 
 - Add protection to avoid endless loop.
 
 cgroups:
 
 - Avoid reading cgroup mountpoint multiple times, caching it.
 
 - Fix handling of cgroup v1/v2 in mixed hierarchy.
 
 Symbol resolving:
 
 - Add OCaml symbol demangling.
 
 - Further fixes for handling PE executables when using perf with Wine and .exe/.dll files.
 
 - Fix 'perf unwind' DSO handling.
 
 - Resolve symbols against debug file first, to deal with artifacts related to LTO.
 
 - Fix gap between kernel end and module start on powerpc.
 
 Reporting tools:
 
 - The DSO filter shouldn't show samples in unresolved maps.
 
 - Improve debuginfod support in various tools.
 
 build ids:
 
 - Fix 16-byte build ids in 'perf buildid-cache', add a 'perf test' entry for that case.
 
 perf test:
 
 - Support for PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT_STRUCT.
 
 - Add test case for PERF_SAMPLE_CODE_PAGE_SIZE.
 
 - Shell based tests for 'perf daemon's commands ('start', 'stop, 'reconfig', 'list', etc).
 
 - ARM cs-etm 'perf test' fixes.
 
 - Add parse-metric memory bandwidth testcase.
 
 Compiler related:
 
 - Fix 'perf probe' kretprobe issue caused by gcc 11 bug when used with -fpatchable-function-entry.
 
 - Fix ARM64 build with gcc 11's -Wformat-overflow.
 
 - Fix unaligned access in sample parsing test.
 
 - Fix printf conversion specifier for IP addresses on arm64, s390 and powerpc.
 
 Arch specific:
 
 - Support exposing Performance Monitor Counter SPRs as part of extended regs on powerpc.
 
 - Add JSON 'perf stat' metrics for ARM64's imx8mp, imx8mq and imx8mn DDR, fix imx8mm ones.
 
 - Fix common and uarch events for ARM64's A76 and Ampere eMag
