      perf annotate browser: Add 'P' hotkey to dump annotation to file · d9bd7665
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored 
      Just like we have in the histograms browser used as the main screen for
'perf top --tui' and 'perf report --tui', to print the current
annotation to a file with a named composed by the symbol name and the
".annotation" suffix.

Here is one example of pressing 'A' on 'perf top' to live annotate a
kernel function and then press 'P' to dump that annotation, the
resulting file:

  # cat _raw_spin_lock_irqsave.annotation
  _raw_spin_lock_irqsave() /proc/kcore
  Event: cycles:ppp

    7.14        nop
   21.43        push   %rbx
    7.14        pushfq
                pop    %rax
                nop
                mov    %rax,%rbx
                cli
                nop
                xor    %eax,%eax
                mov    $0x1,%edx
   64.29        lock   cmpxchg %edx,(%rdi)
                test   %eax,%eax
              ↓ jne    2b
                mov    %rbx,%rax
                pop    %rbx
              ← retq
          2b:   mov    %eax,%esi
              → callq  queued_spin_lock_slowpath

      perf report: Introduce --ignore-vmlinux command line option · 91340c51
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored 
      We've had this in 'perf top' for quite a while, useful if one wishes
to force using /proc/kcore to do annotation using the patched kernel
instead of the ELF image it started from, aka vmlinux.

      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored 
      This is already present in 'perf top', albeit undocumented (will fix),
and is useful to use /proc/kcore instead of vmlinux and then get what is
really in place, not what the kernel starts with, before alternatives,
ftrace .text patching, etc, see the differences:

This should be further streamlined by doing both annotations and
allowing the TUI to toggle initial/current, and show the patched
instructions in a slightly different color.

      Merge tag 'perf-core-for-mingo-4.17-20180319' 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:

- Fixes for problems experienced with new GCC 8 warnings, that treated
  as errors, broke the build, related to snprintf and casting issues.
  (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo, Jiri Olsa, Josh Poinboeuf)

- Fix build of new breakpoint 'perf test' entry with clang < 6, noticed
  on fedora 25, 26 and 27 (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

- Workaround problem with symbol resolution in 'perf annotate', using
  the symbol name already present in the objdump output (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

- Document 'perf top --ignore-vmlinux' (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

- Fix out of bounds access on array fd when cnt is 100 in one of the
  'perf test' entries, detected using 'cpptest' (Colin Ian King)

- Add support for the forced leader feature, i.e. 'perf report --group'
  for a group of events not really grouped when scheduled (without using
  {} to enclose the list of events in the command line) in pipe mode,
  e.g.:

    $ perf record -e cycles,instructions -o - kill | perf report --group -i -

- Use right type to access array elements in 'perf probe' (Masami Hiramatsu)

- Update POWER9 vendor events (those described in JSON format) (Sukadev Bhattiprolu)

- Discard head in overwrite_rb_find_range() (Yisheng Xie)

- Avoid setting 'quiet' to 'true' unnecessarily (Yisheng Xie)

Noticed with clang 6 on fedora rawhide.

      objtool, perf: Fix GCC 8 -Wrestrict error · 854e55ad
      Josh Poimboeuf authored 
      Starting with recent GCC 8 builds, objtool and perf fail to build with
the following error:

  ../str_error_r.c: In function ‘str_error_r’:
  ../str_error_r.c:25:3: error: passing argument 1 to restrict-qualified parameter aliases with argument 5 [-Werror=restrict]
     snprintf(buf, buflen, "INTERNAL ERROR: strerror_r(%d, %p, %zd)=%d", errnum, buf, buflen, err);

The code seems harmless, but there's probably no benefit in printing the
'buf' pointer in this situation anyway, so just remove it to make GCC
happy.
