#### AMD-SMI improvement: Set power cap
#### AMD SMI improvement: Set power cap
AMD Instinct MI300X is enabled to provide the capability to set power cap in 1VF. The system is designed to select the lowest power cap value from those provided by the host, VM, and Advanced Platform Management Link (APML). This feature allows you to have enhanced control over power management in virtualized environments, particularly in single VM configurations. By allowing the VM to set a power cap, you can optimize power usage and efficiency according to your specific needs. This feature requires PLDM bundle 01.25.05.00 (or later) firmware.

ROCprofiler-SDK and `rocprofv3` include the following enhancements:
* Dynamic process attachment feature has been added. This feature in ROCprofiler-SDK and `rocprofv3` allows dynamic profiling of a running GPU application by attaching to its process ID (PID), rather than launching the application through the profiler itself. This allows real-time data collection without interrupting execution, making it ideal for profiling long-running, containerized, or multiprocess workloads. For more details, refer to [Dynamic process attachment](https://rocm.docs.amd.com/projects/rocprofiler-sdk/en/develop/how-to/using-rocprofv3-process-attachment.html) documentation for `rocprofv3` and [Implementing Process Attachment Tools](https://rocm.docs.amd.com/projects/rocprofiler-sdk/en/latest/api-reference/process_attachment.html) for `ROCprofiler-SDK`.
* Scratch-memory trace information has been added to the Perfetto output in `rocprofv3`, enhancing visibility into memory usage during profiling. Additionally, derived metrics and the required counters have been successfully integrated for gfx12XX series GPUs, enabling users to collect performance counters through `rocprofv3` on these platforms.
* Host-trap (software-based) PC sampling is now available on RDNA4 architecture-based gfx12xx series GPUs. It uses the kernel threads to interrupt GPU waves and capture PC states. For more details, see [Using PC sampling](https://rocm.docs.amd.com/projects/rocprofiler-sdk/en/latest/how-to/using-pc-sampling.html).

* `MultiKernelDispatch` thread trace support is now available across all ASICs, allowing users to profile multiple kernel dispatches within a single thread trace session. This enhances the timeline accuracy and enables deeper analysis of concurrent GPU workloads.
* Stability and robustness of the `rocpd` output format for `rocprofv3` has been improved. For details, see [Using rocpd output format](https://rocm.docs.amd.com/projects/rocprofiler-sdk/en/latest/how-to/using-rocpd-output-format.html).

### Segmentation fault in ROCprofiler-SDK due to ABI mismatch affecting std::regex
An issue of segmentation fault in ROCprofiler-SDK that uses `std::regex` has been resolved. Starting with GCC 5.1, GNU `libstdc++` introduced a dual Application Binary Interface (ABI) to adopt `C++11`, primarily affecting the `std::string` and its dependencies, including `std::regex`. The issue occured if your code was compiled against headers expecting one ABI but linked or run with the other, resulting problems with `std::string` and `std::regex`. See [GitHub issue #5343](https://github.com/ROCm/ROCm/issues/5343).
