      Merge tag 'perf-core-for-mingo' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/acme/linux into perf/core

Pull perf updates from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:

User visible changes:

Improvements:

 * Support showing source code, asking for variables to be collected
   at probe time and other 'perf probe' operations that use DWARF information.

   This supports only binaries with debugging information at this time, detached
   debuginfo (aka debuginfo packages) support should come in later patches.
   (Masami Hiramatsu)

 * Add a perf.data file header window in the 'perf report' TUI, associated
   with the 'i' hotkey, providing a counterpart to the --header option in the
   stdio UI. (Namhyung Kim)

 * Guest related improvements to 'perf kvm', including allowing to
   specify a directory with guest specific /proc information. (Dongsheng Yang)

 * Print session information only if --stdio is given (Namhyung Kim)

Developer stuff:

Fixes:

 * Get rid of a duplicate va_end() in error reporting (Namhyung Kim)

 * If a hist entry doesn't have symbol information, compare it with its
   address. Affects upcoming new feature (--cumulate) (Namhyung Kim)

Improvements:

 * Make libtraceevent install target quieter (Jiri Olsa)

 * Make tests/make output more compact (Jiri Olsa)

 * Ignore generated files in feature-checks (Chunwei Chen)

New APIs:

 * Introduce pevent_filter_strerror() in libtraceevent, similar in
   purpose to libc's strerror() function. (Namhyung Kim)

Refactorings:

 * Use perf_data_file methods to write output file in 'record' and
   'inject' (Jiri Olsa)

 * Use pr_*() functions where applicable in 'report' (Namhyumg Kim)

 * Add 'machine' 'addr_location' struct to have full picture (machine,
   thread, map, symbol, addr) for a (partially) resolved address, reducing
   function signatures (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

 * Reduce code duplication in the histogram entry creation/insertion. (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

 * Auto allocate annotation histogram data structures, (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

 * No need to test against NULL before calling free, also set
   freed memory in struct pointers to NULL, to help fixing use after
   free bugs. (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo>

      perf: Introduce a flag to enable close-on-exec in perf_event_open() · a21b0b35
      Yann Droneaud authored 
      Unlike recent modern userspace API such as:

  epoll_create1 (EPOLL_CLOEXEC), eventfd (EFD_CLOEXEC),
  fanotify_init (FAN_CLOEXEC), inotify_init1 (IN_CLOEXEC),
  signalfd (SFD_CLOEXEC), timerfd_create (TFD_CLOEXEC),
  or the venerable general purpose open (O_CLOEXEC),

perf_event_open() syscall lack a flag to atomically set FD_CLOEXEC
(eg. close-on-exec) flag on file descriptor it returns to userspace.

The present patch adds a PERF_FLAG_FD_CLOEXEC flag to allow
perf_event_open() syscall to atomically set close-on-exec.

Having this flag will enable userspace to remove the file descriptor
from the list of file descriptors being inherited across exec,
without the need to call fcntl(fd, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC) and the
associated race condition between the current thread and another
thread calling fork(2) then execve(2).

      perf/x86/intel: Add Intel RAPL PP1 energy counter support · f228c5b8
      Stephane Eranian authored 
      This patch adds support for the Intel RAPL energy counter
PP1 (Power Plane 1).

On client processors, it usually corresponds to the
energy consumption of the builtin graphic card. That
is why the sysfs event is called energy-gpu.

New event:
 - name: power/energy-gpu/
 - code: event=0x4
 - unit: 2^-32 Joules

On processors without graphics, this should count 0.
The patch only enables this event on client processors.

      perf/x86: Fix active_entry initialization · f3ae75de
      Stephane Eranian authored 
      This patch fixes a problem with the initialization of the
struct perf_event active_entry field. It is defined inside
an anonymous union and was initialized in perf_event_alloc()
using INIT_LIST_HEAD(). However at that time, we do not know
whether the event is going to use active_entry or hlist_entry (SW).
Or at last, we don't want to make that determination there.
The problem is that hlist and list_head are not initialized
the same way. One is okay with NULL (from kzmalloc), the other
needs to pointers to point to self.

This patch resolves this problem by dropping the union.
This will avoid problems later on, if someone starts using
active_entry or hlist_entry without verifying that they
actually overlap. This also solves the initialization
problem.
