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

Pull perf updates from Ingo Molnar:
"Kernel side changes:

- Add branch type profiling/tracing support. (Jin Yao)

- Add the PERF_SAMPLE_PHYS_ADDR ABI to allow the tracing/profiling of
physical memory addresses, where the PMU supports it. (Kan Liang)

- Export some PMU capability details in the new
/sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/caps/ sysfs directory. (Andi
Kleen)

- Aux data fixes and updates (Will Deacon)

- kprobes fixes and updates (Masami Hiramatsu)

- AMD uncore PMU driver fixes and updates (Janakarajan Natarajan)

On the tooling side, here's a (limited!) list of highlights - there
were many other changes that I could not list, see the shortlog and
git history for details:

UI improvements:

- Implement a visual marker for fused x86 instructions in the
annotate TUI browser, available now in 'perf report', more work
needed to have it available as well in 'perf top' (Jin Yao)

Further explanation from one of Jin's patches:

│ ┌──cmpl $0x0,argp_program_version_hook
81.93 │ ├──je 20
│ │ lock cmpxchg %esi,0x38a9a4(%rip)
│ │↓ jne 29
│ │↓ jmp 43
11.47 │20:└─→cmpxch %esi,0x38a999(%rip)

That means the cmpl+je is a fused instruction pair and they should
be considered together.

- Record the branch type and then show statistics and info about in
callchain entries (Jin Yao)

Example from one of Jin's patches:

# perf record -g -j any,save_type
# perf report --branch-history --stdio --no-children

|
---main div.c:42 (RET CROSS_2M cycles:2)
compute_flag div.c:28 (cycles:2)
compute_flag div.c:27 (RET CROSS_2M cycles:1)
rand rand.c:28 (cycles:1)
rand rand.c:28 (RET CROSS_2M cycles:1)
__random random.c:298 (cycles:1)

__random random.c:295 (COND_BWD CROSS_2M cycles:1)
__random random.c:295 (cycles:1)
__random random.c:295 (RET CROSS_2M cycles:9)

namespaces support:

- Add initial support for namespaces, using setns to access files in
namespaces, grabbing their build-ids, etc. (Krister Johansen)

perf trace enhancements:

- Beautify pkey_{alloc,free,mprotect} arguments in 'perf trace'
(Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

- Add initial 'clone' syscall args beautifier in 'perf trace'
(Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

- Ignore 'fd' and 'offset' args for MAP_ANONYMOUS in 'perf trace'
(Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

- Beautifiers for the 'cmd' arg of several ioctl types, including:
sound, DRM, KVM, vhost virtio and perf_events. (Arnaldo Carvalho de
Melo)

- Add PERF_SAMPLE_CALLCHAIN and PERF_RECORD_MMAP[2] to 'perf data'
CTF conversion, allowing CTF trace visualization tools to show
callchains and to resolve symbols (Geneviève Bastien)

- Beautify the fcntl syscall, which is an interesting one in the
sense that infrastructure had to be put in place to change the
formatters of some arguments according to the value in a previous
one, i.e. cmd dictates how arg and the syscall return will be
formatted. (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf stat enhancements:

- Use group read for event groups in 'perf stat', reducing overhead
when groups are defined in the event specification, i.e. when using
{} to enclose a list of events, asking them to be read at the same
time, e.g.: "perf stat -e '{cycles,instructions}'" (Jiri Olsa)

pipe mode improvements:

- Process tracing data in 'perf annotate' pipe mode (David
Carrillo-Cisneros)

- Add header record types to pipe-mode, now this command:

$ perf record -o - -e cycles sleep 1 | perf report --stdio --header

Will show the same as in non-pipe mode, i.e. involving a perf.data
file (David Carrillo-Cisneros)

Vendor specific hardware event support updates/enhancements:

- Update POWER9 vendor events tables (Sukadev Bhattiprolu)

- Add POWER9 PMU events Sukadev (Bhattiprolu)

- Support additional POWER8+ PVR in PMU mapfile (Shriya)

- Add Skylake server uncore JSON vendor events (Andi Kleen)

- Support exporting Intel PT data to sqlite3 with python perf
scripts, this is in addition to the postgresql support that was
already there (Adrian Hunter)"

Pull perf/core improvements and fixes from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:

Fixes:

- Support setting probes in versioned user space symbols, such as
pthread_create@@GLIBC_2.1, picking the default one, more work
needed to make it possible to set it on the other versions, as
the 'perf probe' syntax already uses @ for other purposes.
(Paul Clarke)

- Do not special case address zero as an error for routines that
return addresses (symbol lookup), instead use the return as the
success/error indication and pass a pointer to return the address,
fixing 'perf test vmlinux' (the one that compares address between
vmlinux and kallsyms) on s/390, where the '_text' address is equal
to zero (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

Infrastructure changes:

- More header sanitization, moving stuff out of util.h into
more appropriate headers and objects and sometimes creating
new ones (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

- Refactor a duplicated code for obtaining config file name (Taeung Song)

- Make UPROBES_EVENTS default-y which is the distro practice
- Apply misc fixes and robustization to probe point insertion.

- add support for AMD IOMMU events

- extend hw events on Intel Goldmont CPUs

- ... plus misc fixes and updates.

- add 'brstackinsn' field in 'perf script' to reuse the x86
instruction decoder used in the Intel PT code to study hot paths to
samples (Andi Kleen)

- add PERF_RECORD_NAMESPACES so that the kernel can record
information required to associate samples to namespaces, helping in
container problem characterization. (Hari Bathini)

- allow sorting by symbol_size in 'perf report' and 'perf top'
(Charles Baylis)

- in perf stat, make system wide (-a) the default option if no target
was specified and one of following conditions is met:
- no workload specified (current behaviour)
- a workload is specified but all requested events are system wide
ones, like uncore ones. (Jiri Olsa)

Merge tag 'perf-core-for-mingo-4.12-20170419' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/acme/linux into perf/core

Pull perf/core cleanups from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:

- Introduce new header files out of the hodge-podge that util/util.h
became, trying to disentangle the includes hell that all C projects
end up growing. This should help in build times, as changes to
seemingly unrelated files (util.h included tons of headers) won't
trigger a rebuild of most object files.

- Use equivalent facilities found in the kernel source code base
originated tools/include/ header files, such as __stringify(),
ARRAY_SIZE, that has extra checks (__must_be_array()), etc.

- For that get some more files from the kernel sources, like
include/linux/bug.h, some just with the bits needed at this time.

- Use the headers where facilities declared in them are used, such
as PRIxu(32,64) macros (inttypes.h), errno defines (errno.h), etc.

- Remove various leftovers from the initial code base we copied from
git.git: FLEX_ARRAY, etc.
