      perf tools: Allow auxtrace data alignment · 83b2ea25
      Adrian Hunter authored
      Allow auxtrace data to be a multiple of something other than page size.
      That is needed for BTS where the buffer contains 24-byte records.

      perf probe: Fix failure to probe events on arm · 7c31bb8c
      He Kuang authored
      Fix failure to probe events on arm, the problem was introduced by commit
      5a51fcd1 ("perf probe: Skip kernel symbols which is out of .text").
      
      For some architectures, the '_etext' label is not in the .text section
      (in the .notes section for arm/arm64).  Labels out of the .text section
      are not loaded as symbols and we get a zero value when looking up its
      addresses, which causes all events to be wrongly skipped.
      
      This patch skips checking the text address range when failing to get the
      address of '_etext' and thus fixes the problem.
      
      The problem can be reproduced on arm as follows:
      
        # perf probe --add='generic_perform_write'
        generic_perform_write+0 is out of .text, skip it.
        Probe point 'generic_perform_write' not found.
          Error: Failed to add events.
      
      After this patch:
      
        # perf probe --add='generic_perform_write'
        Added new event:
          probe:generic_perform_write (on generic_perform_write)
      
        You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:
      
          perf record -e probe:generic_perform_write -aR sleep 1

      perf tools: Print a newline before dumping Aggregated stats · fe692ac8
      Adrian Hunter authored
      When dumping events with 'perf report -D' the event print always starts
      with a newline (see dump_event()).
      
      Do the same with the "Aggregated stats" print so that it is not jammed
      up against the last event print.

      perf session: Print a newline when dumping PERF_RECORD_FINISHED_ROUND · 5531e162
      Adrian Hunter authored
      With 'perf report -D' the PERF_RECORD_FINISHED_ROUND event was printed

      Other events print their details, but PERF_RECORD_FINISHED_ROUND doesn't
      have any so just add a print for a newline.

      perf tools: Allow events with dot · 5b021ddf
      Andi Kleen authored
      The Intel events use a dot to separate event name and unit mask.  Allow
      dot in names in the scanner, and remove special handling of dot as EOF.
      Also remove the hack in jevents to replace dot with underscore. This way
      dotted events can be specified directly by the user.
      
      I'm not fully sure this change to the scanner is correct (what was the
      dot special case good for?), but I haven't found anything that breaks
      with it so far at least.

      Pull x86 core updates from Ingo Molnar:
       "There were so many changes in the x86/asm, x86/apic and x86/mm topics
        in this cycle that the topical separation of -tip broke down somewhat -
        so the result is a more traditional architecture pull request,
        collected into the 'x86/core' topic.
      
        The topics were still maintained separately as far as possible, so
        bisectability and conceptual separation should still be pretty good -
        but there were a handful of merge points to avoid excessive
        dependencies (and conflicts) that would have been poorly tested in the
        end.
      
        The next cycle will hopefully be much more quiet (or at least will
        have fewer dependencies).
      
        The main changes in this cycle were:
      
         * x86/apic changes, with related IRQ core changes: (Jiang Liu, Thomas
           Gleixner)
      
           - This is the second and most intrusive part of changes to the x86
             interrupt handling - full conversion to hierarchical interrupt
             domains:
      
                [IOAPIC domain]   -----
                                       |
                [MSI domain]      --------[Remapping domain] ----- [ Vector domain ]
                                       |   (optional)          |
                [HPET MSI domain] -----                        |
                                                               |
                [DMAR domain]     -----------------------------
                                                               |
                [Legacy domain]   -----------------------------
      
             This now reflects the actual hardware and allowed us to distangle
             the domain specific code from the underlying parent domain, which
             can be optional in the case of interrupt remapping.  It's a clear
             separation of functionality and removes quite some duct tape
             constructs which plugged the remap code between ioapic/msi/hpet
             and the vector management.
      
           - Intel IOMMU IRQ remapping enhancements, to allow direct interrupt
             injection into guests (Feng Wu)
      
         * x86/asm changes:
      
           - Tons of cleanups and small speedups, micro-optimizations.  This
             is in preparation to move a good chunk of the low level entry
             code from assembly to C code (Denys Vlasenko, Andy Lutomirski,
             Brian Gerst)
      
           - Moved all system entry related code to a new home under
             arch/x86/entry/ (Ingo Molnar)
      
           - Removal of the fragile and ugly CFI dwarf debuginfo annotations.
             Conversion to C will reintroduce many of them - but meanwhile
             they are only getting in the way, and the upstream kernel does
             not rely on them (Ingo Molnar)
      
           - NOP handling refinements. (Borislav Petkov)
      
         * x86/mm changes:
      
           - Big PAT and MTRR rework: making the code more robust and
             preparing to phase out exposing direct MTRR interfaces to drivers -
             in favor of using PAT driven interfaces (Toshi Kani, Luis R
             Rodriguez, Borislav Petkov)
      
           - New ioremap_wt()/set_memory_wt() interfaces to support
             Write-Through cached memory mappings.  This is especially
             important for good performance on NVDIMM hardware (Toshi Kani)
      
         * x86/ras changes:
      
           - Add support for deferred errors on AMD (Aravind Gopalakrishnan)
      
             This is an important RAS feature which adds hardware support for
             poisoned data.  That means roughly that the hardware marks data
             which it has detected as corrupted but wasn't able to correct, as
             poisoned data and raises an APIC interrupt to signal that in the
             form of a deferred error.  It is the OS's responsibility then to
             take proper recovery action and thus prolonge system lifetime as
             far as possible.
      
           - Add support for Intel "Local MCE"s: upcoming CPUs will support
             CPU-local MCE interrupts, as opposed to the traditional system-
             wide broadcasted MCE interrupts (Ashok Raj)
      
           - Misc cleanups (Borislav Petkov)
      
         * x86/platform changes:
      
           - Intel Atom SoC updates
      
        ... and lots of other cleanups, fixlets and other changes - see the
        shortlog and the Git log for details"

      Pull x86 FPU updates from Ingo Molnar:
       "This tree contains two main changes:
      
         - The big FPU code rewrite: wide reaching cleanups and reorganization
           that pulls all the FPU code together into a clean base in
           arch/x86/fpu/.
      
           The resulting code is leaner and faster, and much easier to
           understand.  This enables future work to further simplify the FPU
           code (such as removing lazy FPU restores).
      
           By its nature these changes have a substantial regression risk: FPU
           code related bugs are long lived, because races are often subtle
           and bugs mask as user-space failures that are difficult to track
           back to kernel side backs.  I'm aware of no unfixed (or even
           suspected) FPU related regression so far.
      
         - MPX support rework/fixes.  As this is still not a released CPU
           feature, there were some buglets in the code - should be much more
           robust now (Dave Hansen)"
