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

- Allow callchain order (caller, callee) to the libdw and libunwind based DWARF
unwinders (Jiri Olsa)

- Add missing parent_val initialization in the callchain code, fixing a
SEGFAULT when using callchains with 'perf top' (Jiri Olsa)

- 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)

perf tools: Add 'perf config' command

The perf configuration file contains many variables to change various
aspects of each of its tools, including output, disk usage, etc.

But looking at the state of configuration is difficult and there's no
documentation about config variables except for the variables in
perfconfig.example exist.

So this patch adds a 'perf-config' command with a '--list' option.

perf config [options]

display current perf config variables.
# perf config -l | --list

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

"Main perf kernel side changes:

- Add support for using several Intel PT features (CYC, MTC packets),
the relevant documentation was updated in:
tools/perf/Documentation/intel-pt.txt
briefly describing those packets, its purposes, how to configure
them in the event config terms and relevant external documentation
for further reading. (Adrian Hunter)

- Introduce support for probing at an absolute address, for user and
kernel 'perf probe's, useful when one have the symbol maps on a
developer machine but not on an embedded system. (Wang Nan)

- Add Intel BTS support, with a call-graph script to show it and PT
in use in a GUI using 'perf script' python scripting with
postgresql and Qt. (Adrian Hunter)

- Allow selecting the type of callchains per event, including
disabling callchains in all but one entry in an event list, to save
space, and also to ask for the callchains collected in one event to
be used in other events. (Kan Liang)

- Beautify more syscall arguments in 'perf trace': (Arnaldo Carvalho
de Melo)
* A bunch more translate file/pathnames from pointers to strings.
* Convert numbers to strings for the 'keyctl' syscall 'option'
arg.
* Add missing 'clockid' entries.

- Introduce 'srcfile' sort key: (Andi Kleen)

# perf record -F 10000 usleep 1
# perf report --stdio --dsos '[kernel.vmlinux]' -s srcfile
<SNIP>
# Overhead Source File
26.49% copy_page_64.S
5.49% signal.c
0.51% msr.h
#

It can be combined with other fields, for instance, experiment with
'-s srcfile,symbol'.

There are some oddities in some distros and with some specific
DSOs, being investigated, so your mileage may vary.

- Support per-event 'freq' term: (Namhyung Kim)

$ perf record -e 'cpu/instructions,freq=1234/',cycles -c 1000 sleep 1
$ perf evlist -F
cpu/instructions,freq=1234/: sample_freq=1234
cycles: sample_period=1000
$

- Deref sys_enter pointer args with contents from probe:vfs_getname,
showing pathnames instead of pointers in many syscalls in 'perf
trace'. (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

- Stop collecting /proc/kallsyms in perf.data files, saving about
4.5MB on a typical x86-64 system, use the the symbol resolution
routines used in all the other tools (report, top, etc) now that we
can ask libtraceevent to use perf's symbol resolution code.
(Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

- Allow filtering out of perf's PID via 'perf record --exclude-perf'.
(Wang Nan)

- 'perf trace' now supports syscall groups, like strace, i.e:

$ trace -e file touch file

Will expand 'file' into multiple, file related, syscalls. More
work needed to add extra groups for other syscall groups, and also
to complement what was added for the 'file' group, included as a
proof of concept. (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

- Add lock_pi stresser to 'perf bench futex', to test the kernel code
related to FUTEX_(UN)LOCK_PI. (Davidlohr Bueso)

- Let user have timestamps with per-thread recording in 'perf record'
(Adrian Hunter)

details"
