| pahole: | 
 |  | 
 | - Allow encoding BTF to a separate BTF file (detached) instead of to a new | 
 |   ".BTF" ELF section in the file being encoded (vmlinux usually). | 
 |  | 
 | - Introduce -j/--jobs option to specify the number of threads to use. Without | 
 |   arguments means one thread per CPU. So far used for the DWARF loader, will | 
 |   be used as well for the BTF encoder. | 
 |  | 
 | - Show all different types with the same name, not just the first one found. | 
 |  | 
 | - Introduce sorted type output (--sort), needed with multithreaded DWARF loading, | 
 |   to use with things like 'btfdiff' that expects the output from DWARF and BTF | 
 |   types to be comparable using 'diff'. | 
 |  | 
 | - Stop assuming that reading from stdin means pretty printing as this broke | 
 |   pre-existing scripts, introduce a explicit --prettify command line option. | 
 |  | 
 | - Improve type resolution for the --header command line option. | 
 |  | 
 | - Disable incomplete CTF encoder, this needs to be done using the external | 
 |   libctf library. | 
 |  | 
 | - Do not consider the ftrace filter when encoding BTF for kernel functions. | 
 |  | 
 | - Add --kabi_prefix to avoid deduplication woes when using _RH_KABI_REPLACE(), | 
 |  | 
 | - Add --with_flexible_array to show just types with flexible arrays. | 
 |  | 
 | DWARF Loader: | 
 |  | 
 | - Multithreaded loading, requires elfutils >= 0.178. | 
 |  | 
 | - Lock calls to non-thread safe elfutils' libdw functions (dwarf_decl_file() | 
 |   and dwarf_decl_line()) | 
 |  | 
 | - Change hash table size to one that performs better with current typical | 
 |   vmlinux files. | 
 |  | 
 | - Allow tweaking the hash table size from the command line. | 
 |  | 
 | - Stop allocating memory for strings obtained from libdw, just defer freeing | 
 |   the Dwfl handler so that references to its strings can be safely kept. | 
 |  | 
 | - Use a frontend cache for the latest lookup result. | 
 |  | 
 | - Allow ignoring some DWARF tags when loading for encoding BTF, as BTF doesn't | 
 |   have equivalents for things like DW_TAG_inline_expansion and DW_TAG_label. | 
 |  | 
 | - Allow ignoring some DWARF tag attributes, such as DW_AT_alignment, not used | 
 |   when encoding BTF. | 
 |  | 
 | - Do not query for non-C attributes when loading a C language CU (compilation unit). | 
 |  | 
 | BTF encoder: | 
 |  | 
 | - Preparatory work for multithreaded encoding, the focus for 1.23. | 
 |  | 
 | btfdiff: | 
 |  | 
 | - Support diffing against a detached BTF file, e.g.: 'btfdiff vmlinux vmlinux.btf' | 
 |  | 
 | - Support multithreaded DWARF loading, using the new pahole --sort option to have | 
 |   the output from both BTF and DWARF sorted and thus comparable via 'diff'. | 
 |  | 
 | Build: | 
 |  | 
 | - Support building with libc libraries lacking either obstacks or argp, such | 
 |   as Alpine Linux's musl libc. | 
 |  | 
 | - Support systems without getconf() to obtain the data cacheline size, such | 
 |   as musl libc. | 
 |  | 
 | - Add a buildcmd.sh for test builds, tested using the same set of containers | 
 |   used for testing the Linux kernel perf tools. | 
 |  | 
 | - Enable selecting building with a shared libdwarves library or statically. | 
 |  | 
 | - Allow to use the libbpf package found in distributions instead of with the | 
 |   accompanying libbpf git submodule. | 
 |  | 
 | Cleanups: | 
 |  | 
 | - Address lots of compiler warnings accumulated by not using -Wextra, it'll | 
 |   be added in the next release after allowing not to use it to build libbpf. | 
 |  | 
 | - Address covscan report issues. | 
 |  | 
 | Documentation: | 
 |  | 
 | - Improve the --nr_methods/-m pahole man page entry. | 
 |  | 
 | - Clarify that currently --nr_methods doesn't work together witn -C. |
