   Andy Shevchenko:
 
   - Keep list of tools in alphabetical order on 'make -C tools help'.
 
 perf session:
 
   Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:
 
   - Avoid infinite loop when seeing invalid header.size, reported by
     Vince Weaver using a perf.data fuzzer.
 
 Documentation:
 
   Vince Weaver:
 
   - Clarify HEADER_SAMPLE_TOPOLOGY format in the perf.data spec.
 
 perf config:
 
   Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:
 
   - Honour $PERF_CONFIG env var to specify alternate .perfconfig.
 
 perf test:
 
   Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:
 
   - Disable ~/.perfconfig to get default output in 'perf trace' tests.
 
 perf top:
 
   Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:
 
   - Set display thread COMM to help with debugging.
 
   - Collapse and resort evsels in a group, so that we have output
     similar to 'perf report' when using event groups, i.e.
 
       perf top -e '{cycles,instructions}'
 
     Will have two columns, and the instructions one will work.
 
 core:
 
   Igor Lubashev:
 
   - Detect if libcap development files are available so that we
     can use capabilities to match the checks made by the kernel instead
     of using plain (geteuid() == 0).
 
 Intel:
 
   Haiyan Song:
 
   - Add Icelake V1.00 event file.
 
 perf trace:
 
   Leo Yan:
 
   - Fix segmentation fault when access syscall info on arm64.

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.
