      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)

 "Kernel side changes:

   - Intel Knights Landing support.  (Harish Chegondi)

   - Intel Broadwell-EP uncore PMU support.  (Kan Liang)

   - Core code improvements.  (Peter Zijlstra.)

   - Event filter, LBR and PEBS fixes.  (Stephane Eranian)

  Tons of tooling changes:

   - Show random perf tool tips in the 'perf report' bottom line
     (Namhyung Kim)

   - perf report now defaults to --group if the perf.data file has
     grouped events, try it with:

   - 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
        0x1da [0x18]: PERF_RECORD_STAT_ROUND
        [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.

        # cat ssl.bpf.c
        #define SEC(NAME) __attribute__((section(NAME), used))

        struct pt_regs;

        {
                return err == 0 && port == 443;
        }

   - 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)

      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
affected by kptr_restrict setting.

Test result:

  $ cat /proc/sys/kernel/kptr_restrict
  1
  $ ~/perf test -v hist
  15: Test matching and linking multiple hists                 :
  --- start ---
  test child forked, pid 24031
  test child finished with 0
  ---- end ----
  Test matching and linking multiple hists: Ok

      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.

      perf tools: Fix phony build target for build-test · 3167eea2
      Wang Nan authored 
      make_kernelsrc and make_kernelsrc_tools are skiped if a previous
build-test is done, because 'make build-test' creates two files with
same names. To avoid this, they should be included in .PHONY list.

      perf tools: Add -lutil in python lib list for broken python-config · 11dc0c57
      Wang Nan authored 
      On some system the perf-config is broken, causes link failure like this:

   /usr/lib64/python2.7/config/libpython2.7.a(posixmodule.o): In function `posix_forkpty':
   /opt/wangnan/yocto-build/tmp-eglibc/work/x86_64-oe-linux/python/2.7.3-r0.3.1/Python-2.7.3/./Modules/posixmodule.c:3816: undefined reference to `forkpty'
   /usr/lib64/python2.7/config/libpython2.7.a(posixmodule.o): In function `posix_openpty':

   collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
  make[1]: *** [/home/wangnan/kernel-hydrogen/tools/perf/out/perf] Error 1
  make: *** [all] Error 2

  $ python-config --libs
  -lpthread -ldl -lpthread -lutil -lm -lpython2.7

In this case a '-lutil' should be appended to -lpython2.7.

(I know we have --start-group and --end-group. I can see them in command
line of collect2 by strace. However it doesn't work. Seems I have a
broken environment?)

      Linus Torvalds authored 
      Pull RCU updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "The changes in this cycle were:

   - Adding transitivity uniformly to rcu_node structure ->lock
     acquisitions.  (This is implemented by the first two commits on top
     of v4.4-rc2 due to the pervasive nature of this change.)

   - Documentation updates, including RCU requirements.

   - Expedited grace-period changes.

   - Miscellaneous fixes.

   - Linked-list fixes, courtesy of KTSAN.

   - Torture-test updates.

   - Late-breaking fix to sysrq-generated crash.

  One thing I should note is that these pieces of documentation are
  fairly large files:

    .../RCU/Design/Requirements/Requirements.html      | 2897 ++++++++++++++++++++
    .../RCU/Design/Requirements/Requirements.htmlx     | 2741 ++++++++++++++++++

  and are written in HTML, not the usual .txt style.  I hope they are
  fine"

Paul McKenney explains the html docs:
 "For whatever it is worth, the reason for this unconventional choice
  was that attempts to do the diagrams in ASCII art failed miserably.

  And attempts to do ASCII art for the upcoming documentation of the
  data structures failed even more miserably"
