 "In this cycle this topic tree has become one of those 'super topics'
  that accumulated a lot of changes:

   - Add CONFIG_VMAP_STACK=y support to the core kernel and enable it on
     x86 - preceded by an array of changes. v4.8 saw preparatory changes
     in this area already - this is the rest of the work. Includes the
     thread stack caching performance optimization. (Andy Lutomirski)

   - switch_to() cleanups and all around enhancements. (Brian Gerst)

   - A large number of dumpstack infrastructure enhancements and an
     unwinder abstraction. The secret long term plan is safe(r) live
     patching plus maybe another attempt at debuginfo based unwinding -
     but all these current bits are standalone enhancements in a frame
     pointer based debug environment as well. (Josh Poimboeuf)

   - More __ro_after_init and const annotations. (Kees Cook)

   - Enable KASLR for the vmemmap memory region. (Thomas Garnier)"

  x86-specific per se, even if they are only used on x86 right now. ]

      Implement the code to match CPU types to mapfile types for x86 based on
CPUID. This extends an existing similar function, but changes it to use
the x86 mapfile cpu description.  This allows to resolve event lists

      perf pmu: Use pmu_events table to create aliases · 933f82ff
      Sukadev Bhattiprolu authored 
      At run time (when 'perf' is starting up), locate the specific table of
PMU events that corresponds to the current CPU. Using that table, create
aliases for the each of the PMU events in the CPU. The use these aliases
to parse the user specified perf event.

In short this would allow the user to specify events using their aliases
rather than raw event codes.

Based on input and some earlier patches from Andi Kleen, Jiri Olsa.

      perf jevents: Program to convert JSON file · 80eeb67f
      Andi Kleen authored 
      This is a modified version of an earlier patch by Andi Kleen.

We expect architectures to create JSON files describing the performance
monitoring (PMU) events that each CPU model/family of the architecture
supports.

Following is an example of the JSON file entry for an x86 event:

    	[
    	...
    	{
    	"EventCode": "0x00",
    	"UMask": "0x01",
    	"EventName": "INST_RETIRED.ANY",
    	"BriefDescription": "Instructions retired from execution.",
    	"PublicDescription": "Instructions retired from execution.",
    	"Counter": "Fixed counter 1",
    	"CounterHTOff": "Fixed counter 1",
    	"SampleAfterValue": "2000003",
    	"SampleAfterValue": "2000003",
    	"MSRIndex": "0",
    	"MSRValue": "0",
    	"TakenAlone": "0",
    	"CounterMask": "0",
    	"Invert": "0",
    	"AnyThread": "0",
    	"EdgeDetect": "0",
    	"PEBS": "0",
    	"PRECISE_STORE": "0",
    	"Errata": "null",
    	"Offcore": "0"
    	},
    	...

    	]

All the PMU events supported by a CPU model/family must be grouped into
"topics" such as "Pipelining", "Floating-point", "Virtual-memory" etc.

All events belonging to a topic must be placed in a separate JSON file
(eg: "Pipelining.json") and all the topic JSON files for a CPU model must
be in a separate directory.

	Eg: for the CPU model "Silvermont_core":

    	$ ls tools/perf/pmu-events/arch/x86/Silvermont_core
    	Floating-point.json
    	Memory.json
    	Other.json
    	Pipelining.json
    	Virtualmemory.json

Finally, to allow multiple CPU models to share a single set of JSON files,
architectures must provide a mapping between a model and its set of events:

    	$ grep Silvermont tools/perf/pmu-events/arch/x86/mapfile.csv
    	GenuineIntel-6-4D,V13,Silvermont_core,core
    	GenuineIntel-6-4C,V13,Silvermont_core,core

which maps each CPU, identified by [vendor, family, model, version, type]
to a directory of JSON files. Thus two (or more) CPU models support the
set of PMU events listed in the directory.

    	tools/perf/pmu-events/arch/x86/Silvermont_core/

Given this organization of files, the program, jevents:

	- locates all JSON files for each CPU-model of the architecture,

	- parses all JSON files for the CPU-model and generates a C-style
	  "PMU-events table" (pmu-events.c) for the model

	- locates a mapfile for the architecture

	- builds a global table, mapping each model of CPU to the corresponding
	  PMU-events table.

The 'pmu-events.c' is generated when building perf and added to libperf.a.
The global table pmu_events_map[] table in this pmu-events.c will be used
in perf in a follow-on patch.

If the architecture does not have any JSON files or there is an error in
processing them, an empty mapping file is created. This would allow the
build of perf to proceed even if we are not able to provide aliases for
events.

The parser for JSON files allows parsing Intel style JSON event files. This
allows to use an Intel event list directly with perf. The Intel event lists
can be quite large and are too big to store in unswappable kernel memory.

The conversion from JSON to C-style is straight forward.  The parser knows
(very little) Intel specific information, and can be easily extended to
handle fields for other CPUs.

The parser code is partially shared with an independent parsing library,
which is 2-clause BSD licensed. To avoid any conflicts I marked those
files as BSD licensed too. As part of perf they become GPLv2.

Committer notes:

Fixes:

1) Limit maxfds to 512 to avoid nftd() segfaulting on alloca() with a
   big rlim_max, as in docker containers - acme

2) Make jevents a hostprog, supporting cross compilation - jolsa

3) Use HOSTCC for jevents final step - acme

4) Define _GNU_SOURCE for asprintf, as we can't use CC's EXTRA_CFLAGS,
  that has to have --sysroot on the Android NDK 24 - acme

5) Removed $(srctree)/tools/perf/pmu-events/pmu-events.c from the
   'clean' target, it is generated on $(OUTPUT)pmu-events/pmu-events.c,
   which is already taken care of in the original patch - acme

  Lots of tooling changes - a couple of highlights:

   - Support event group view with hierarchy mode in 'perf top' and
     'perf report' (Namhyung Kim)

     e.g.:

     $ perf record -e '{cycles,instructions}' make
     $ perf report --hierarchy --stdio

      0.76%   0.00%[.] strlen

   - Add branch stack / basic block info to 'perf annotate --stdio',
     where for each branch, we add an asm comment after the instruction
     with information on how often it was taken and predicted. See
     example with color output at:

       http://vger.kernel.org/~acme/perf/annotate_basic_blocks.png

     (Peter Zijlstra)

   - Add support for using symbols in address filters with Intel PT and
     ARM CoreSight (hardware assisted tracing facilities) (Adrian
     Hunter, Mathieu Poirier)

   - Add support for interacting with Coresight PMU ETMs/PTMs, that are
     IP blocks to perform hardware assisted tracing on a ARM CPU core
     (Mathieu Poirier)

   - Support generating cross arch probes, i.e. if you specify a vmlinux
     file for different arch than the one in the host machine,

        $ perf probe --definition function_name args

     will generate the probe definition string needed to append to the
     target machine /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobes_events file, using
     scripting (Masami Hiramatsu).

   - Allow configuring the default 'perf report -s' sort order in
