   - Add support for using several Intel PT features (CYC, MTC packets),
     the relevant documentation was updated in:
         tools/perf/Documentation/intel-pt.txt
     briefly describing those packets, its purposes, how to configure
     them in the event config terms and relevant external documentation
     for further reading.  (Adrian Hunter)

   - Introduce support for probing at an absolute address, for user and
     kernel 'perf probe's, useful when one have the symbol maps on a
     developer machine but not on an embedded system.  (Wang Nan)

   - Add Intel BTS support, with a call-graph script to show it and PT
     in use in a GUI using 'perf script' python scripting with
     postgresql and Qt.  (Adrian Hunter)

   - Allow selecting the type of callchains per event, including
     disabling callchains in all but one entry in an event list, to save
     space, and also to ask for the callchains collected in one event to
     be used in other events.  (Kan Liang)

   - Beautify more syscall arguments in 'perf trace': (Arnaldo Carvalho
     de Melo)
       * A bunch more translate file/pathnames from pointers to strings.
       * Convert numbers to strings for the 'keyctl' syscall 'option'
         arg.
       * Add missing 'clockid' entries.

   - Introduce 'srcfile' sort key: (Andi Kleen)

       # perf record -F 10000 usleep 1
       # perf report --stdio --dsos '[kernel.vmlinux]' -s srcfile
       <SNIP>
       # Overhead  Source File
          26.49%  copy_page_64.S
           5.49%  signal.c
           0.51%  msr.h
       #

     It can be combined with other fields, for instance, experiment with
     '-s srcfile,symbol'.

     There are some oddities in some distros and with some specific
     DSOs, being investigated, so your mileage may vary.

   - Support per-event 'freq' term: (Namhyung Kim)

       $ perf record -e 'cpu/instructions,freq=1234/',cycles -c 1000 sleep 1
       $ perf evlist -F
       cpu/instructions,freq=1234/: sample_freq=1234
       cycles: sample_period=1000
       $

   - Deref sys_enter pointer args with contents from probe:vfs_getname,
     showing pathnames instead of pointers in many syscalls in 'perf
     trace'.  (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

   - Stop collecting /proc/kallsyms in perf.data files, saving about
     4.5MB on a typical x86-64 system, use the the symbol resolution
     routines used in all the other tools (report, top, etc) now that we
     can ask libtraceevent to use perf's symbol resolution code.
     (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

   - Allow filtering out of perf's PID via 'perf record --exclude-perf'.
     (Wang Nan)

   - 'perf trace' now supports syscall groups, like strace, i.e:

       $ trace -e file touch file

     Will expand 'file' into multiple, file related, syscalls.  More
     work needed to add extra groups for other syscall groups, and also
     to complement what was added for the 'file' group, included as a
     proof of concept.  (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

   - Add lock_pi stresser to 'perf bench futex', to test the kernel code
     related to FUTEX_(UN)LOCK_PI.  (Davidlohr Bueso)

   - Let user have timestamps with per-thread recording in 'perf record'
     (Adrian Hunter)

   - ... and tons of other changes, see the shortlog and the Git log for
     details"
