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.

The register name of arm64 architecture is x0-x31 not r0-r31, this patch
changes this typo.
Before this patch:
# perf probe --definition 'sys_write count'
p:probe/sys_write _text+1502872 count=%r2:s64
# echo 'p:probe/sys_write _text+1502872 count=%r2:s64' > \
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events
Parse error at argument[0]. (-22)
After this patch:
# perf probe --definition 'sys_write count'
p:probe/sys_write _text+1502872 count=%x2:s64
# echo 'p:probe/sys_write _text+1502872 count=%x2:s64' > \
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events
# echo 1 >/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/probe/enable
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace
...
