      perf tools: Add AVX-512 support to the instruction decoder used by Intel PT · c61f4d5e
      Adrian Hunter authored
      Add support for Intel's AVX-512 instructions to perf tools instruction
      decoder used by Intel PT.  The kernel's instruction decoder was updated in
      a previous patch.
      
      AVX-512 instructions are documented in Intel Architecture Instruction Set
      Extensions Programming Reference (February 2016).
      
      AVX-512 instructions are identified by a EVEX prefix which, for the purpose
      of instruction decoding, can be treated as though it were a 4-byte VEX
      prefix.
      
      Existing instructions which can now accept an EVEX prefix need not be
      further annotated in the op code map (x86-opcode-map.txt). In the case of
      new instructions, the op code map is updated accordingly.
      
      Also add associated Mask Instructions that are used to manipulate mask
      registers used in AVX-512 instructions.
      
      A representative set of instructions is added to the perf tools new
      instructions test in a subsequent patch.

      Merge tag 'perf-core-for-mingo-20160718' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/acme/linux into perf/core
      
      Pull perf/core improvements and fixes from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:
      
      User visible changes:
      
       - Properly report when a function wildcard produces no matches in 'perf probe'
         (Masami Hiramatsu)
      
       - Balance opening and reading events in 'perf stat', which could cause
         it to get stuck trying to close invalid file descriptors (Mark Rutland)
      
      Infrastructure changes:
      
       - Copy more headers from the kernel, this time for headers that
         were just including the contents of its kernel counterparts, should
         help resolving the problems with linux-next, where some uapi related
         patches seem to be breaking tools/object/ build. (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
      
         Some more combing will be done, but at least it is possible to build
         perf out of tree, via a detached tarball (make help | grep perf),
         without including kernel files in its MANIFEST (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
      
       - Fix smatch found errors that were not causing problems, but are
         mistakes nonetheless (Dan Carpenter)
      
       - Fix string vs. byte array resolving in the python script code (Jiri Olsa)

      Pull perf/core improvements and fixes from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:
      
      User visible changes:
      
       - Allow reading from a backward ring buffer (one setup via sys_perf_event_open()
         with perf_event_attr.write_backward = 1) (Wang Nan)
      
      Infrastructure changes:
      
       - Fix the build on Android NDK r12b (initially just for ARM), that is now port
         of my perf-build container collection and will get tested prior to sending
         patches upstream (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
      
       - Add correct header for IPv6 definitions
      
       - Fix bitsperlong.h fallout (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo, Peter Zijlstra)
      
       - Use base 0 (auto) in filename__read_ull(), so that we can handle hex values too (Jiri Olsa)
