Merge tag 'perf-core-for-mingo-4.11-20170306' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/acme/linux into perf/core Pull perf/core improvements and fixes from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo: New features: - Allow sorting by symbol_size in 'perf report' and 'perf top' (Charles Baylis) E.g.: # perf report -s symbol_size,symbol Samples: 9K of event 'cycles:k', Event count (approx.): 2870461623 Overhead Symbol size Symbol 14.55% 326 [k] flush_tlb_mm_range 7.20% 1045 [k] filemap_map_pages 5.82% 124 [k] vma_interval_tree_insert 5.18% 2430 [k] unmap_page_range 2.57% 571 [k] vma_interval_tree_remove 1.94% 494 [k] page_add_file_rmap 1.82% 740 [k] page_remove_rmap 1.66% 1017 [k] release_pages 1.57% 1636 [k] update_blocked_averages 1.57% 76 [k] unlock_page - Add support for -p/--pid, -a/--all-cpus and -C/--cpu in 'perf ftrace' (Namhyung Kim) Change in behaviour: - Make system wide (-a) the default option if no target was specified and one of following conditions is met: - No workload specified (current behaviour) - A workload is specified but all requested events are system wide ones, like uncore ones. (Jiri Olsa) Fixes: - Add missing initialization to the instruction decoder used in the intel PT/BTS code, which was causing lots of failures in 'perf test', looking for a value when there was none (Adrian Hunter) Infrastructure changes: - Add arch code needed to adopt the kernel's refcount_t to aid in catching bugs when using atomic_t as a reference counter, basically cmpxchg related functions (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo) - Convert the code using atomic_t as reference counts to refcount_t (Elena Rashetova) - Add feature test for sched_getcpu() to more easily check for its presence in the many libc implementations and accross different versions of such C libraries (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo) - Issue a HW watchdog disable hint in 'perf stat' for when some of the requested events can't get counted because a PMU counter is taken by that watchdog (Borislav Petkov). - Add mapping for Intel's KnightsMill PMU events (Karol Wachowski) Documentation changes: - Clarify the term 'convergence' in: perf bench numa numa-mem -h --show_convergence (Jiri Olsa) Kernel code changes: - Ensure probe location is at function entry in kretprobes (Naveen N. Rao) - Allow return probes with offsets and absolute addresses (Naveen N. Rao) Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>
