Linus Torvalds 2074006dac The new features of this release:
- Added TRACE_DEFINE_SIZEOF() which allows trace events that use
     sizeof() it the TP_printk() to be converted to the actual size such
     that trace-cmd and perf can parse them correctly.
 
   - Some rework of the TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM() such that the above
     TRACE_DEFINE_SIZEOF() could reuse the same code.
 
   - Recording of tgid (Thread Group ID). This is similar to how
     task COMMs are recorded (cached at sched_switch), where it is
     in a table and used on output of the trace and trace_pipe files.
 
   - Have ":mod:<module>" be cached when written into set_ftrace_filter.
     Then the functions of the module will be traced at module load.
 
   - Some random clean ups and small fixes.

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
