- Add uncore support for Intel Comet Lake
- Add RAPL support for Hygon Fam18h
- Add Intel "IIO stack to PMON mapping" support on Skylake-SP CPUs,
which enumerates per device performance counters via sysfs and enables
the perf stat --iiostat functionality
- Add support for Intel "Architectural LBRs", which generalized the model
specific LBR hardware tracing feature into a model-independent, architected
performance monitoring feature. Usage is mostly seamless to tooling, as the
pre-existing LBR features are kept, but there's a couple of advantages
under the hood, such as faster context-switching, faster LBR reads,
cleaner exposure of LBR features to guest kernels, etc.
( Since architectural LBRs are supported via XSAVE, there's related
changes to the x86 FPU code as well. )
- ftrace/perf updates: Add support to add a text poke event to record changes
to kernel text (i.e. self-modifying code) in order to
support tracers like Intel PT decoding through
jump labels, kprobes and ftrace trampolines.
- Misc cleanups, smaller fixes.

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.
