Sample period calculation in deliver_sample_value is updated to calculate the per-thread period delta for events that are inherit + PERF_SAMPLE_READ. When the sampling event has this configuration, the read_format.id is used with the tid from the sample to lookup the storage of the previously accumulated counter total before calculating the delta. All existing valid configurations where read_format.value represents some global value continue to use just the read_format.id to locate the storage of the previously accumulated total. perf_sample_id is modified to support tracking per-thread values, along with the existing global per-id values. In the per-thread case, values are stored in a hash by tid within the perf_sample_id, and are dynamically allocated as the number is not known ahead of time.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
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.
