- Extended 'perf annotate' with DWARF type information (--code-with-type)
integration in the TUI, including a 'T' hotkey to toggle it.
- Enhanced 'perf bench mem' with new mmap() workloads and control over
page/chunk sizes.
- Fix 'perf stat' error handling to correctly display unsupported events.
- Improved support for Clang cross-compilation.
- Refactored LLVM and Capstone disasm for modularity.
- Introduced the :X modifier to exclude an event from automatic regrouping.
- Adjusted KVM sampling defaults to use the "cycles" event to prevent failures.
- Added comprehensive support for decoding PowerPC Dispatch Trace Log (DTL).
- Updated Arm SPE tracing logic for better analysis of memory and snoop
details.
- Synchronized Intel PMU events and metrics with TMA 5.1 across multiple
processor generations.
- Converted dependencies like libperl and libtracefs to be opt-in.
- Handle more Rust symbols in kallsyms ('N', debugging).
- Improve the python binding to allow for python based tools to use more
of the libraries, add a 'ilist' utility to test those new bindings.
- Various 'perf test' fixes.
- Kan Liang no longer a perf tools reviewer.
