      Merge tag 'perf-core-for-mingo' 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:
      
      User visible changes:
      
        - Use the alternative with the most descriptive filename containing
          a vmlinux file for a given build-id, providing a better title line
          for tools such as 'annotate'. (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
      
        - Remove help messages about previous right and left arrow keybidings, that
          were repurposed for horizontal scrolling. (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
      
        - Inform how to reset the symbol filter in the hists browser. (top & report)
          (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
      
        - Add 'm' key for context menu display in the hists browser, that became
          inacessible with the repurposing of the right arrow key for horizontal
          scrolling. (Namhyung Kim)
      
        - Use debug_frame for callchains if eh_frame is unusable. (Rabin Vicent)
      
      Build fixes:
      
        - Fix strict-aliasing breakage with gcc 4.4 in the READ_ONCE/WRITE_ONCE code
          adopted from the kernel tree, that builds with -fno-strict-aliasing while
          tools/perf/ uses -Wstrict-aliasing=3. (Jiri Olsa)
      
        - Fix unw_word_t pointer casts in code using libunwind for callchains,
          fixing the build in at least 32-bit MIPS systems. (Rabin Vicent)
      
        - Work around cross compile build problems related to fixdep. (Jiri Olsa)

      perf hists browser: Inform how to reset the symbol filter · 4aa8e454
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
      When in the hists browser, i.e. in 'perf report' or in 'perf top', it is
      possible to press '/' and specify a substring to filter by symbol name.
      
      Clarify how to remove a filter by making the prompt be:
      
         Please enter the name of symbol you want to see.
         To remove the filter later, press / + ENTER

      perf symbols: Try the .debug/ DSO cache as a last resort · dc38218e
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
      Not as the first attempt at finding a vmlinux for the running kernel,
      this way we get a more informative filename to present in tools, it will
      check that the build-id is the same as the one previously loaded in the
      DSO in dso->build_id, reading from /sys/kernel/notes, for instance.
      
      E.g. in the annotation TUI, going from 'perf top', for the scsi_sg_alloc
      kernel function, in the first line:
      
      Before:
      
      scsi_sg_alloc  /root/.debug/.build-id/28/2777c262e6b3c0451375163c9a81c893218ab1
      
      After:
      
      scsi_sg_alloc  /lib/modules/4.3.0-rc1+/build/vmlinux
      
      And:
      
        # ls -la /root/.debug/.build-id/28/2777c262e6b3c0451375163c9a81c893218ab1

      perf tools: Fix build break on powerpc due to sample_reg_masks · 9fb47654
      Sukadev Bhattiprolu authored
      perf_regs.c does not get built on Powerpc as CONFIG_PERF_REGS is false.
      So the weak definition for 'sample_regs_masks' doesn't get picked up.
      
      Adding perf_regs.o to util/Build unconditionally, exposes a redefinition
      error for 'perf_reg_value()' function (due to the static inline version
      in util/perf_regs.h). So use #ifdef HAVE_PERF_REGS_SUPPORT' around that
      function.

      Revert "fs: do not prefault sys_write() user buffer pages" · 00a3d660
      Linus Torvalds authored
      This reverts commit 998ef75d.
      
      The commit itself does not appear to be buggy per se, but it is exposing
      a bug in ext4 (and Ted thinks ext3 too, but we solved that by getting
      rid of it).  It's too late in the release cycle to really worry about
      this, even if Dave Hansen has a patch that may actually fix the
      underlying ext4 problem.  We can (and should) revisit this for the next
      release.
      
      The problem is that moving the prefaulting later now exposes a special
      case with partially successful writes that isn't handled correctly.  And
      the prefaulting likely isn't normally even that much of a performance
      issue - it looks like at least one reason Dave saw this in his
      performance tests is that he also ran them on Skylake that now supports
      the new SMAP code, which makes the normally very cheap user space
      prefaulting noticeably more expensive.
