Merge branch 'perf-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

Pull perf changes from Ingo Molnar:
"Core kernel changes:

- One of the more interesting features in this cycle is the ability
to attach eBPF programs (user-defined, sandboxed bytecode executed
by the kernel) to kprobes.

This allows user-defined instrumentation on a live kernel image
that can never crash, hang or interfere with the kernel negatively.
(Right now it's limited to root-only, but in the future we might
allow unprivileged use as well.)

(Alexei Starovoitov)

- Another non-trivial feature is per event clockid support: this
allows, amongst other things, the selection of different clock
sources for event timestamps traced via perf.

This feature is sought by people who'd like to merge perf generated
events with external events that were measured with different
clocks:

- cluster wide profiling

- for system wide tracing with user-space events,

- JIT profiling events

etc. Matching perf tooling support is added as well, available via
the -k, --clockid <clockid> parameter to perf record et al.

(Peter Zijlstra)

Hardware enablement kernel changes:

- x86 Intel Processor Trace (PT) support: which is a hardware tracer
on steroids, available on Broadwell CPUs.

The hardware trace stream is directly output into the user-space
ring-buffer, using the 'AUX' data format extension that was added
to the perf core to support hardware constraints such as the
necessity to have the tracing buffer physically contiguous.

This patch-set was developed for two years and this is the result.
A simple way to make use of this is to use BTS tracing, the PT
driver emulates BTS output - available via the 'intel_bts' PMU.
More explicit PT specific tooling support is in the works as well -
will probably be ready by 4.2.

(Alexander Shishkin, Peter Zijlstra)

- x86 Intel Cache QoS Monitoring (CQM) support: this is a hardware
feature of Intel Xeon CPUs that allows the measurement and
allocation/partitioning of caches to individual workloads.

These kernel changes expose the measurement side as a new PMU
driver, which exposes various QoS related PMU events. (The
partitioning change is work in progress and is planned to be merged
as a cgroup extension.)

(Matt Fleming, Peter Zijlstra; CPU feature detection by Peter P
Waskiewicz Jr)

- x86 Intel Haswell LBR call stack support: this is a new Haswell
feature that allows the hardware recording of call chains, plus
tooling support. To activate this feature you have to enable it
via the new 'lbr' call-graph recording option:

perf record --call-graph lbr
perf report

or:

perf top --call-graph lbr

This hardware feature is a lot faster than stack walk or dwarf
based unwinding, but has some limitations:

- It reuses the current LBR facility, so LBR call stack and
branch record can not be enabled at the same time.

- It is only available for user-space callchains.

(Yan, Zheng)

- x86 Intel Broadwell CPU support and various event constraints and
event table fixes for earlier models.

(Andi Kleen)

- x86 Intel HT CPUs event scheduling workarounds. This is a complex
CPU bug affecting the SNB,IVB,HSW families that results in counter
value corruption. The mitigation code is automatically enabled and
is transparent.

(Maria Dimakopoulou, Stephane Eranian)

The perf tooling side had a ton of changes in this cycle as well, so
I'm only able to list the user visible changes here, in addition to
the tooling changes outlined above:

User visible changes affecting all tools:

- Improve support of compressed kernel modules (Jiri Olsa)
- Save DSO loading errno to better report errors (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- Bash completion for subcommands (Yunlong Song)
- Add 'I' event modifier for perf_event_attr.exclude_idle bit (Jiri Olsa)
- Support missing -f to override perf.data file ownership. (Yunlong Song)
- Show the first event with an invalid filter (David Ahern, Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

User visible changes in individual tools:

'perf data':

New tool for converting perf.data to other formats, initially
for the CTF (Common Trace Format) from LTTng (Jiri Olsa,
Sebastian Siewior)

'perf diff':

Add --kallsyms option (David Ahern)

'perf list':

Allow listing events with 'tracepoint' prefix (Yunlong Song)

Sort the output of the command (Yunlong Song)

'perf kmem':

Respect -i option (Jiri Olsa)

Print big numbers using thousands' group (Namhyung Kim)

Allow -v option (Namhyung Kim)

Fix alignment of slab result table (Namhyung Kim)

'perf probe':

Support multiple probes on different binaries on the same command line (Masami Hiramatsu)

Support unnamed union/structure members data collection. (Masami Hiramatsu)

Check kprobes blacklist when adding new events. (Masami Hiramatsu)

'perf record':

Teach 'perf record' about perf_event_attr.clockid (Peter Zijlstra)

Support recording running/enabled time (Andi Kleen)

'perf sched':

Improve the performance of 'perf sched replay' on high CPU core count machines (Yunlong Song)

'perf report' and 'perf top':

Allow annotating entries in callchains in the hists browser (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

Indicate which callchain entries are annotated in the
TUI hists browser (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

Add pid/tid filtering to 'report' and 'script' commands (David Ahern)

Consider PERF_RECORD_ events with cpumode == 0 in 'perf top', removing one
cause of long term memory usage buildup, i.e. not processing PERF_RECORD_EXIT
events (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

'perf stat':

Report unsupported events properly (Suzuki K. Poulose)

Output running time and run/enabled ratio in CSV mode (Andi Kleen)

'perf trace':

Handle legacy syscalls tracepoints (David Ahern, Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

Only insert blank duration bracket when tracing syscalls (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

Filter out the trace pid when no threads are specified (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

Dump stack on segfaults (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

No need to explicitely enable evsels for workload started from perf, let it
be enabled via perf_event_attr.enable_on_exec, removing some events that take
place in the 'perf trace' before a workload is really started by it.
(Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

Allow mixing with tracepoints and suppressing plain syscalls. (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

There's also been a ton of infrastructure work done, such as the
split-out of perf's build system into tools/build/ and other changes -
see the shortlog and changelog for details"

- Add Intel RAPL energy counter support (Stephane Eranian)
- Clean up uprobes (Oleg Nesterov)
- Optimize ring-buffer writes (Peter Zijlstra)

Tooling side changes, user visible:

- Add column colouring improvements (Ramkumar Ramachandra)

- 'perf kvm':
- Add guest related improvements, including allowing to specify a
directory with guest specific /proc information (Dongsheng Yang)
- Add shell completion support (Ramkumar Ramachandra)
- Add '-v' option (Dongsheng Yang)
- Support --guestmount (Dongsheng Yang)

- 'perf probe':
- 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)

- 'perf record':

purpose and freeing up '--delay' to take the place of
'--initial-delay', so that 'record' and 'stat' are consistent
(Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- Default the -t/--thread option to no inheritance (Adrian Hunter)
- Make per-cpu mmaps the default (Adrian Hunter)

- 'perf report':
- Improve callchain processing performance (Frederic Weisbecker)
- Retain bfd reference to lookup source line numbers, greatly
optimizing, among other use cases, 'perf report -s srcline'
(Adrian Hunter)
- Improve callchain processing performance even more (Namhyung Kim)
- 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)

- 'perf script':
- Add an option in 'perf script' to print the source line number
(Adrian Hunter)
- Add --header/--header-only options to 'script' and 'report', the
default is not tho show the header info, but as this has been the
default for some time, leave a single line explaining how to
obtain that information (Jiri Olsa)
- Add options to show comm, fork, exit and mmap PERF_RECORD_ events
(Namhyung Kim)
- Print callchains and symbols if they exist (David Ahern)

- 'perf timechart'
- Add backtrace support to CPU info
- Print pid along the name
- Add support for CPU topology
- Add new option --highlight'ing threads, be it by name or, if a
numeric value is provided, that run more than given duration
(Stanislav Fomichev)

- 'perf top':
- Make 'perf top -g' refer to callchains, for consistency with
other tools (David Ahern)

- 'perf trace':
- Handle old kernels where the "raw_syscalls" tracepoints were
called plain "syscalls" (David Ahern)
- Remove thread summary coloring, by Pekka Enberg.
- Honour -m option in 'trace', the tool was offering the option to
set the mmap size, but wasn't using it when doing the actual mmap
on the events file descriptors (Jiri Olsa)

- generic:
- Backport libtraceevent plugin support (trace-cmd repository, with
plugins for jbd2, hrtimer, kmem, kvm, mac80211, sched_switch,
function, xen, scsi, cfg80211 (Jiri Olsa)
- Print session information only if --stdio is given (Namhyung Kim)

Tooling side changes, developer visible (plumbing):

- Improve 'perf probe' exit path, release resources (Masami
Hiramatsu)
- Improve libtraceevent plugins exit path, allowing the registering
of an unregister handler to be called at exit time (Namhyung Kim)
- Add an alias to the build test makefile (make -C tools/perf
build-test) (Namhyung Kim)
- Get rid of die() and friends (good riddance!) in libtraceevent
(Namhyung Kim)
- Fix cross build problems related to pkgconfig and CROSS_COMPILE not
being propagated to the feature tests, leading to features being
tested in the host and then being enabled on the target (Mark
Rutland)
- Improve forked workload error reporting by sending the errno in the
signal data queueing integer field, using sigqueue and by doing the
signal setup in the evlist methods, removing open coded equivalents
in various tools (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- Do more auto exit cleanup chores in the 'evlist' destructor, so
that the tools don't have to all do that sequence (Arnaldo Carvalho
de Melo)
- Pack 'struct perf_session_env' and 'struct trace' (Arnaldo Carvalho
de Melo)
- Add test for building detached source tarballs (Arnaldo Carvalho de
Melo)
- Move some header files (tools/perf/ to tools/include/ to make them

Carvalho de Melo)
- Introduce evlist__for_each() & friends (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- Automate setup of FEATURE_CHECK_(C|LD)FLAGS-all variables (Jiri
Olsa)
- Move arch setup into seprate Makefile (Jiri Olsa)
- Make libtraceevent install target quieter (Jiri Olsa)
- Make tests/make output more compact (Jiri Olsa)
- Ignore generated files in feature-checks (Chunwei Chen)
- Introduce pevent_filter_strerror() in libtraceevent, similar in
purpose to libc's strerror() function (Namhyung Kim)
- 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

- 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)
- Rename some struct DSO binary_type related members and methods, to
clarify its purpose and need for differentiation (symtab_type, ie
one is about the files .text, CFI, etc, i.e. its binary contents,
and the other is about where the symbol table came from (Arnaldo
