      Merge tag 'perf-urgent-for-mingo' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/acme/linux into perf/urgent
      
      Pull perf/urgent fixes from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:
      
       * Check for SIGINT in more loops, allowing tools such as 'perf report' to
         react faster to Ctrl+C, from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo.
      
       * Fix objdump line parsing offset validation in the annotate code,
         from Adrian Hunter.
      
       * Fix buildid cache handling of kallsyms with kcore, from Adrian Hunter.
      
       * Fix compile with libelf without get_phdrnum, from Adrian Hunter.
      
       * Sharpen the libaudit dependencies test, refusing to build with older
         libraries that doesn't have all the functions used by 'perf trace", fix
         from Ingo Molnar.
      
       * Fill in new definitions for madvise()/mmap() flags to fix the build in
         older systems, from Ingo Molnar.
      
       * Fix old GCC build error in older systems in the kallsyms parsing code in
         trace-event-parse.c, from Ingo Molnar.
      
       * Ignore DWARF declaration tags, allowing, for instance, that the
      
           $ perf probe -L getname
      
         command succeeds in showing the source code for the 'getname' kernel
         function, telling in which lines probes can be inserted, fix from
         Masami Hiramatsu.
      
       * Fix linux/magic.h related build breakage in some systems, fix from
         Vinson Lee.

      tools lib lk: Uninclude linux/magic.h in debugfs.c · ce7eebe5
      Vinson Lee authored
      The compilation only looks for linux/magic.h from the default include
      paths, which does not include the source tree. This results in a build
      error if linux/magic.h is not available or not installed.
      
      For example, this build error occurs on CentOS 5.
      
      $ make -C tools/lib/lk V=1
      [...]
      gcc -o debugfs.o -c -ggdb3 -Wall -Wextra -std=gnu99 -Werror -O6
      -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -Wbad-function-cast -Wdeclaration-after-statement

      -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 debugfs.c
      debugfs.c:8:25: error: linux/magic.h: No such file or directory
      
      The only symbol from linux/magic.h needed by debugfs.c is DEBUGFS_MAGIC,
      and that is already defined in debugfs.h. linux/magic.h isn't providing
      any extra symbols and can unincluded. This is similar to the approach by
      perf, which has its own magic.h wrapper at
      tools/perf/util/include/linux/magic.h

      perf probe: Fix finder to find lines of given function · 0dbb1cac
      Masami Hiramatsu authored
      The commit ba28c59b fixed a declaration
      entry bug in probe_point_search_cb().  There are same bugs in line
      finder and call_probe_finder().  This introduces a new dwarf utility
      function to determine given DIE is a function definition, not
      declaration.

      perf tools: Fix buildid cache handling of kallsyms with kcore · 5b6a42fc
      Adrian Hunter authored
      When kallsyms is used with kcore the dso long_name becomes the kcore
      file name.  That prevents the buildid cache from caching kallsyms.
      (There is no support at present for caching kcore).  Fix by changing it
      so that the kallsyms name is used in that case instead.

      perf annotate: Fix objdump line parsing offset validation · 886b37ba
      Adrian Hunter authored
      When parsing lines from objdump a line containing source code starting
      with a numeric label is mistaken for a line of disassembly starting with
      a memory address.
      
      Current validation fails to recognise that the "memory address" is out
      of range and calculates an invalid offset which later causes this
      segfault:
      
      Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

       "These are four patches for three construction sites:
      
         - Fix register decoding for the combination of multi-core processors
           and multi-threading.
      
         - Two more fixes that are part of the ongoing DECstation resurrection
           work.  One of these touches a DECstation-only network driver.
      
         - Finally Markos' trivial build fix for the AP/SP support.
      
        (With this applied now all MIPS defconfigs are building again)"
      
      * 'upstream' of git://git.linux-mips.org/pub/scm/ralf/upstream-linus:
        MIPS: kernel: vpe: Make vpe_attrs an array of pointers.
        MIPS: Fix SMP core calculations when using MT support.

      partitions/efi: loosen check fot pmbr size in lba · 6b02fa59
      Davidlohr Bueso authored
      Matt found that commit 27a7c642 ("partitions/efi: account for pmbr
      size in lba") caused his GPT formatted eMMC device not to boot.  The
      reason is that this commit enforced Linux to always check the lesser of
      the whole disk or 2Tib for the pMBR size in LBA.  While most disk
      partitioning tools out there create a pMBR with these characteristics,
      Microsoft does not, as it always sets the entry to the maximum 32-bit
      limitation - even though a drive may be smaller than that[1].
      
      Loosen this check and only verify that the size is either the whole disk
      or 0xFFFFFFFF.  No tool in its right mind would set it to any value
      other than these.
