Merge tag 'perf-core-for-mingo-4.17-20180323' 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: - Move non-TUI specific annotation routines out of the TUI browser so that it can be used in other UIs, and to demonstrate that introduce a 'perf annotate --stdio2' option that will apply those formatting routines to provide a non-interactive annotation mode (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo) - Add 'P' hotkey to the annotation TUI, so dump the current annotated symbol to a file, easing report thru e-mail, by getting rid of the spaces + right hand side scrollbar chars (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo) - Support --ignore-vmlinux to 'perf report' and 'perf annotate', that was already present in 'perf top', to use /proc/{kcore,kallsyms}, allowing to see what is in fact running (patched stuff, alternatives, ftrace, etc), not the initial state of the kernel (vmlinux) (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo) - Support 'jump' instructions to a different function, treating them as 'call' instructions (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo) - Fix some jump artifacts when using vmlinux + ASM functions, where the ELF symtab for instance, for entry_SYSCALL_64 includes that and what comes after the 'syscall_return_via_sysret' label, but the objdump -dS prints the jump targets + offsets using the syscall_return_via_sysret address, which was confusing 'perf annotate'. See the cset comments for further info (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo) - Report error from dwfl_attach_state() in the unwind code (Martin Vuille) - Reference Py_None before returning it in the python extension (Petr Machata) Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>
