From a conversation with Josh:

From http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20160722034118.guckaniobf3f7czc@treble :

It needs to be compiled with the host (powerpc) compiler, but then it
needs to disassemble target (x86) files.

So use HOSTARCH instead of ARCH.

Previous patches added support for Intel's AVX-512 instructions to the
kernel and perf tools instruction decoders.

AVX-512 instructions are documented in Intel Architecture Instruction
Set Extensions Programming Reference (February 2016).

Add a representative set of instructions to perf's "new instructions"
test. e.g.

	perf test "new instructions"

Or to view a particular instruction:

	perf test -v "new instructions" 2>&1 | grep vbroadcasti64x4

Add support for Intel's AVX-512 instructions to perf tools instruction
decoder used by Intel PT.  The kernel's instruction decoder was updated in
a previous patch.

AVX-512 instructions are documented in Intel Architecture Instruction Set
Extensions Programming Reference (February 2016).

AVX-512 instructions are identified by a EVEX prefix which, for the purpose
of instruction decoding, can be treated as though it were a 4-byte VEX
prefix.

Existing instructions which can now accept an EVEX prefix need not be
further annotated in the op code map (x86-opcode-map.txt). In the case of
new instructions, the op code map is updated accordingly.

Also add associated Mask Instructions that are used to manipulate mask
registers used in AVX-512 instructions.

A representative set of instructions is added to the perf tools new
instructions test in a subsequent patch.

   help resolving the problems with linux-next, where some uapi related
   patches seem to be breaking tools/object/ build. (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

Warn unmatched function filter correctly instead of warning
"symbol-loading error", since that can be a filter issue.

From the technical point of view, this adds a filter chech in map__load
and if there is a filter, it returns -2 (filter-out), instead of -1
(error), and perf-probe checks it and change message.

E.g. without this fix:

  # perf probe -F rt_sp*
  no symbols found in [kernel.kallsyms], maybe install a debug package?
  Failed to load symbols in kernel

With this fix:

  # perf probe -F rt_sp*
  no symbols passed the given filter.
  Failed to find symbols matched to "rt_sp*"
    Error: Failed to show functions.

In some cases it's necessry to figure out the map-local index of a given
Linux logical CPU ID. Add a new helper, cpu_map__idx, to acquire this.
As the logic is largely the same as the existing cpu_map__has, this is
rewritten in terms of the new helper.

At the same time, add the inverse operation, cpu_map__cpu, which yields
the logical CPU id for a map-local index. While this can be performed
manually, wrapping this in a helper can make code more legible.

In create_perf_stat_counter, when a target CPU has not been provided, we
call __perf_evsel__open with empty_cpu_map, and open a single FD per
thread. However, in read_counter we assume that we opened events for the
product of threads and CPUs described in the evsel's cpu_map.

Thus, if an evsel has a cpu_map with more than one entry, we will
attempt to access FDs that we didn't open. This could result in a number
of problems (e.g. blocking while reading from STDIN if the fd memory
happened to be initialised to zero).

This is problematic for systems were a logical CPU PMU covers some
arbitrary subset of CPUs. The cpu_map of any evsel for that PMU will be
initialised based on the cpumask exposed through sysfs, even if the user
requests per-thread events.

When working with overwritable ring buffer there's a inconvenience
problem: if perf dumps data after a long period after it starts,
non-sample events may lost, which makes following 'perf report' unable
to identify proc name and mmap layout. For example:

 # perf record -m 4 -e raw_syscalls:* -g --overwrite --switch-output \
        dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null

send SIGUSR2 after dd runs long enough. The resuling perf.data lost
correct comm and mmap events:

 # perf script -i perf.data.2016061522374354
 perf 24478 [004] 2581325.601789:  raw_syscalls:sys_exit: NR 0 = 512

             Fail to unwind

This patch provides a '--tail-synthesize' option, allows perf to collect
system status when finalizing output file. In resuling output file, the
non-sample events reflect system status when dumping data.

After this patch:
 # perf record -m 4 -e raw_syscalls:* -g --overwrite --switch-output --tail-synthesize \
        dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null

                    ^^^^^
                    Correct unwind

This option doesn't aim to solve this problem completely. If a process
terminates before SIGUSR2, we still lost its COMM and MMAP events. For
example, we can't unwind correctly from the final perf.data we get from
the previous example, because when perf collects the final output file
(when we press C-c), 'dd' has been terminated so its '/proc/<pid>/mmap'
becomes empty.

However, this is a cheaper choice. To completely solve this problem we
need to continously output non-sample events. To satisify the
requirement of daemonization, we need to merge them periodically. It is
possible but requires much more code and cycles.

Automatically select --tail-synthesize when --overwrite is provided.

If write_backward attribute is set, records are written into kernel
ring buffer from end to beginning, but read from beginning to end.
To avoid 'XX out of order events recorded' warning message (timestamps
of records is in reverse order when using write_backward), suppress the
warning message if write_backward is selected by at lease one event.

Result:

This patch allows following config terms and option:

Globally setting events to overwrite;

  # perf record --overwrite ...

Set specific events to be overwrite or no-overwrite.

  # perf record --event cycles/overwrite/ ...
  # perf record --event cycles/no-overwrite/ ...

Add missing config terms and update the config term array size because
the longest string length has changed.

For overwritable events, it automatically selects attr.write_backward
since perf requires it to be backward for reading.

Test result:

  # perf record --overwrite -e syscalls:*enter_nanosleep* usleep 1
  [ perf record: Woken up 2 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.011 MB perf.data (1 samples) ]

Introduce a bkw_mmap_state state machine to evlist:

                     .________________(forbid)_____________.
                     |                                     V
 NOTREADY --(0)--> RUNNING --(1)--> DATA_PENDING --(2)--> EMPTY
                     ^  ^              |   ^               |
                     |  |__(forbid)____/   |___(forbid)___/|
                     |                                     |
                      \_________________(3)_______________/

 NOTREADY     : Backward ring buffers are not ready
 RUNNING      : Backward ring buffers are recording
 DATA_PENDING : We are required to collect data from backward ring buffers
 EMPTY        : We have collected data from backward ring buffers.

 (0): Setup backward ring buffer
 (1): Pause ring buffers for reading
 (2): Read from ring buffers
 (3): Resume ring buffers for recording

We can't avoid this complexity. Since we deliberately drop records from
overwritable ring buffer, there's no way for us to check remaining from
ring buffer itself (by checking head and old pointers). Therefore, we
need DATA_PENDING and EMPTY state to help us recording what we have done
to the ring buffer.

In record__mmap_read_evlist(), drive this state machine from DATA_PENDING
to EMPTY.

In perf_evlist__mmap_per_evsel(), drive this state machine from NOTREADY
to RUNNING when creating backward mmap.

In perf_evlist__mmap_per_cpu() and perf_evlist__mmap_per_thread(), in
case of mmap failure, successfully created maps should be cleared.

Current code uses two loops calling __perf_evlist__munmap() for each
function.

This patch extracts common code to perf_evlist__munmap_nofree() and use
previous introduced decoupled API perf_mmap__munmap(). Now
__perf_evlist__munmap() can be removed because of no user.

Currently, the evlist mmap related helpers and APIs accept evlist and
idx, and dereference 'struct perf_mmap' by evlist->mmap[idx]. This is
unnecessary, and force each evlist contains only one mmap array.

Following commits are going to introduce multiple mmap arrays to a
evlist.  This patch refators these APIs and helpers, introduces
functions accept perf_mmap pointer directly. New helpers and APIs are
decoupled with perf_evlist, and become perf_mmap functions (so they have
perf_mmap prefix).

Old functions are reimplemented with new functions. Some of them will be
removed in following commits.
