      Merge tag 'perf-core-for-mingo' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/acme/linux into perf/urgent
      
      Pull perf/core improvements and fixes from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:
      
      New, user visible features:
      
        - Add --buildid-all option to 'perf record' to avoid processing
          samples, just collecting build-ids for _all_ the DSOs that appears
          in PERF_RECORD_MMAP records (Namhyung Kim)
      
        - Add some more usage tips to appear in the hists browser
          (top & report) (Namhyung Kim, Andi Kleen)
      
        - Fix mmap2 event allocation in synthesize code, where we were
          allocating space just for PERF_RECORD_MMAP, the older variant,
          which could lead to corner case problems (Wang Nan)
      
      Infrastructure fixes:
      
        - Make list.h self-sufficient, removing one more reference to
          kernel headers that lead to recent breakage when some rculist
          change was made in the kernel sources. (Josh Poimboeuf)
      
          Add missing NORETURN define for parse-options.h in
          tools/lib/subcmd (Josh Poimboeuf)
      
        - Fallback to srcdir/Documentation/ when not finding tips.txt
          elsewhere (Namhyung Kim)

         - Introduce the 'perf stat record/report' workflow:
      
           Generate perf.data files from 'perf stat', to tap into the
           scripting capabilities perf has instead of defining a 'perf stat'
           specific scripting support to calculate event ratios, etc.
      
           Simple example:
      
              $ perf stat record -e cycles usleep 1
      
               Performance counter stats for 'usleep 1':
      
                     1,134,996      cycles
      
                   0.000670644 seconds time elapsed
      
              $ perf stat report
      
               Performance counter stats for '/home/acme/bin/perf stat record -e cycles usleep 1':
      
                     1,134,996      cycles
      
                   0.000670644 seconds time elapsed
      
              $
      
           It generates PERF_RECORD_ userspace records to store the details:
      
              $ perf report -D | grep PERF_RECORD
              0xf0 [0x28]: PERF_RECORD_THREAD_MAP nr: 1 thread: 27637
              0x118 [0x12]: PERF_RECORD_CPU_MAP nr: 1 cpu: 65535
              0x12a [0x40]: PERF_RECORD_STAT_CONFIG
              0x16a [0x30]: PERF_RECORD_STAT
              -1 -1 0x19a [0x40]: PERF_RECORD_MMAP -1/0: [0xffffffff81000000(0x1f000000) @ 0xffffffff81000000]: x [kernel.kallsyms]_text

              [acme@ssdandy linux]$
      
           An effort was made to make perf.data files generated like this to
           not generate cryptic messages when processed by older tools.
      
           The 'perf script' bits need rebasing, will go up later.
      
         - Make command line options always available, even when they depend
           on some feature being enabled, warning the user about use of such
           options (Wang Nan)
      
         - Support hw breakpoint events (mem:0xAddress) in the default output
           mode in 'perf script' (Wang Nan)
      
         - Fixes and improvements for supporting annotating ARM binaries,
           support ARM call and jump instructions, more work needed to have
           arch specific stuff separated into tools/perf/arch/*/annotate/
           (Russell King)
      
         - Add initial 'perf config' command, for now just with a --list
           command to the contents of the configuration file in use and a
           basic man page describing its format, commands for doing edits and
           detailed documentation are being reviewed and proof-read.  (Taeung
           Song)
      
         - Allows BPF scriptlets specify arguments to be fetched using DWARF
           info, using a prologue generated at compile/build time (He Kuang,
           Wang Nan)
      
         - Allow attaching BPF scriptlets to module symbols (Wang Nan)
      
         - Allow attaching BPF scriptlets to userspace code using uprobe (Wang
           Nan)
      
         - BPF programs now can specify 'perf probe' tunables via its section
           name, separating key=val values using semicolons (Wang Nan)
      
           Testing some of these new BPF features:
      
              Use case: get callchains when receiving SSL packets, filter then in the
                        kernel, at arbitrary place.

         - Use 'perf probe' various options to list functions, see what
           variables can be collected at any given point, experiment first
           collecting without a filter, then filter, use it together with
           'perf trace', 'perf top', with or without callchains, if it
           explodes, please tell us!
      
         - Introduce a new callchain mode: "folded", that will list per line
           representations of all callchains for a give histogram entry,
           facilitating 'perf report' output processing by other tools, such
           as Brendan Gregg's flamegraph tools (Namhyung Kim)

      perf test: Reset err after using it hold errcode in hist testcases · b0500c16
      Wang Nan authored
      All hists test cases forget to reset err after using it to hold an
      error code. If error occure in setup_fake_machine() it incorrectly
      return TEST_OK.
      
      This patch fixes it.

      perf test: Fix false TEST_OK result for 'perf test hist' · 71b3ee7e
      Wang Nan authored
      Commit 71d6de64 ("perf test: Fix hist testcases when kptr_restrict is on")
      solves a double free problem when 'perf test hist' calling
      setup_fake_machine(). However, the result is still incorrect. For example:
      
        $ ./perf test -v 'filtering hist entries'
        25: Test filtering hist entries                              :
        --- start ---
        test child forked, pid 4186
        Cannot create kernel maps
        test child finished with 0
        ---- end ----
        Test filtering hist entries: Ok
      
      In this case the body of this test is not get executed at all, but the
      result is 'Ok'.
      
      Actually, in setup_fake_machine() there's no need to create real kernel
      maps. What we want are the fake maps. This patch removes the
      machine__create_kernel_maps() in setup_fake_machine(), so it won't be

      tools build: Add BPF feature check to test-all · 0c4d40d5
      Wang Nan authored
      The test-all.c file doesn't check BPF related features. For an
      environment with all other features enabled, BPF would be considered
      enabled without doing real feature check.
      
      This patch adds test-bpf.c into test-all.c.

      perf bpf: Fix build breakage due to libbpf · d5ef3140
      Naveen N. Rao authored
      perf build is currently (v4.4-rc5) broken on powerpc:
      
        bpf.c:28:4: error: #error __NR_bpf not defined. libbpf does not support
        your arch.
         #  error __NR_bpf not defined. libbpf does not support your arch.
            ^
      
      Fix this by including tools/scripts/Makefile.arch for the proper $ARCH
      macro. While at it, remove redundant LP64 macro definition.
      
      Also, since libbpf require $(srctree) now, detect the path of srctree
      like perf.
