Linus Torvalds ec714e371f perf tools improvements and fixes for Linux v6.18:
- Extended 'perf annotate' with DWARF type information (--code-with-type)
   integration in the TUI, including a 'T' hotkey to toggle it.
 
 - Enhanced 'perf bench mem' with new mmap() workloads and control over
   page/chunk sizes.
 
 - Fix 'perf stat' error handling to correctly display unsupported events.
 
 - Improved support for Clang cross-compilation.
 
 - Refactored LLVM and Capstone disasm for modularity.
 
 - Introduced the :X modifier to exclude an event from automatic regrouping.
 
 - Adjusted KVM sampling defaults to use the "cycles" event to prevent failures.
 
 - Added comprehensive support for decoding PowerPC Dispatch Trace Log (DTL).
 
 - Updated Arm SPE tracing logic for better analysis of memory and snoop
   details.
 
 - Synchronized Intel PMU events and metrics with TMA 5.1 across multiple
   processor generations.
 
 - Converted dependencies like libperl and libtracefs to be opt-in.
 
 - Handle more Rust symbols in kallsyms ('N', debugging).
 
 - Improve the python binding to allow for python based tools to use more
   of the libraries, add a 'ilist' utility to test those new bindings.
 
 - Various 'perf test' fixes.
 
 - Kan Liang no longer a perf tools reviewer.
