      tools headers x86: Sync disabled-features.h · 94f45df8
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored 
      To silence the following tools/perf build warning:

  Warning: Kernel ABI header at 'tools/arch/x86/include/asm/disabled-features.h' differs from latest version at 'arch/x86/include/asm/disabled-features.h'
  diff -u tools/arch/x86/include/asm/disabled-features.h arch/x86/include/asm/disabled-features.h

Picking up the changes in dae0a105 ("x86/cpufeatures, x86/fault:
Mark SMAP as disabled when configured out") that didn't entail any
functionality change in the tooling side.

      perf stat: Fix endless wait for child process · 8a99255a
      Jin Yao authored 
      We hit a 'perf stat' issue by using following script:

  #!/bin/bash

  sleep 1000 &
  exec perf stat -a -e cycles -I1000 -- sleep 5

Since "perf stat" is launched by exec, the "sleep 1000" would be the
child process of "perf stat". The wait4() call will not return because
it's waiting for the child process "sleep 1000" to end. So 'perf stat'
doesn't return even after 5s passes.

This patch lets 'perf stat' return when the specified child process ends
(in this case, the specified child process is "sleep 5").

Committer testing:

  # cat test.sh
  #!/bin/bash

  sleep 10 &
  exec perf stat -a -e cycles -I1000 -- sleep 5
  #

Before:

  # time ./test.sh
  #           time             counts unit events

 "The main changes in this cycle were:

   - Introduce "Energy Aware Scheduling" - by Quentin Perret.

     This is a coherent topology description of CPUs in cooperation with
     the PM subsystem, with the goal to schedule more energy-efficiently
     on asymetric SMP platform - such as waking up tasks to the more
     energy-efficient CPUs first, as long as the system isn't
     oversubscribed.

     For details of the design, see:

        https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20180724122521.22109-1-quentin.perret@arm.com/
