      perf: Fix unsafe frame rewinding with hot regs fetching · ab285f2b
      Frederic Weisbecker authored 
      When we fetch the hot regs and rewind to the nth caller, it
might happen that we dereference a frame pointer outside the
kernel stack boundaries, like in this example:

	perf_trace_sched_switch+0xd5/0x120
        schedule+0x6b5/0x860
        retint_careful+0xd/0x21

Since we directly dereference a userspace frame pointer here while
rewinding behind retint_careful, this may end up in a crash.

Fix this by simply using probe_kernel_address() when we rewind the
frame pointer.

This issue will have a much more proper fix in the next version of the
perf_arch_fetch_caller_regs() API that will only need to rewind to the
first caller.

      perf, x86: Enable Nehalem-EX support · 134fbadf
      Vince Weaver authored 
      According to Intel Software Devel Manual Volume 3B, the
Nehalem-EX PMU is just like regular Nehalem (except for the
uncore support, which is completely different).

      perf kmem: Fix breakage introduced by 5a0e3ad6 slab.h script · 8c40041f
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored 
      Commit 5a0e3ad6 ("include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h
includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion
from percpu.h") added a '#include <linux/slab.h>' to
tools/perf/builtin-kmem.h because: that tool has lines like
this:

        if (!strcmp(event->name, "kmalloc") ||
            !strcmp(event->name, "kmem_cache_alloc")) {
                process_alloc_event(data, event, cpu, timestamp, thread, 0);
                return;
        }

So, using the script regex:

>>> import re
>>> s = re.compile(r'^(|.*[^a-zA-Z0-9_])_*(slab_is_available|kmem_cache_|k[mzc]alloc|krealloc|kz?free|ksize|__getname|putname)')
>>> l = '   !strcmp(event->name, "kmem_cache_alloc")) {'
>>> s.search(l)
<_sre.SRE_Match object at 0xb77b1ad0>
>>>

Remove that file that is not available in the tools/perf include
path and thus builtin-kmem.c couldn't be compiled.
