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

- Expression parser enhancements for metrics (Andi Kleen)

- Fix buffer overflow while freeing events in 'perf stat' (Andi Kleen)

- Fix static linking with elfutils's libdf and with libunwind
in Debian/Ubuntu (Konstantin Khlebnikov)

events such as 'cpu/uops_executed.core,cmask=1/' as a .c source
file that ended up being considered a BPF event (Andi Kleen)

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

- Add support for printing new mem_info encodings, including
'perf test' checks (Andi Kleen)

- Really install manpages via 'make install-man' (Konstantin Khlebnikov)

Merge tag 'perf-core-for-mingo-4.12-20170503' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/acme/linux into perf/urgent

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)

Pull perf updates from Ingo Molnar:
"The main changes in this cycle were:

Kernel side changes:

- Kprobes and uprobes changes:
- Make their trampolines read-only while they are used
- 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.

Tooling side changes:

- support s390 jump instructions in perf annotate (Christian
Borntraeger)

- vendor hardware events updates (Andi Kleen)

- add argument support for SDT events in powerpc (Ravi Bangoria)

- beautify the statx syscall arguments in 'perf trace' (Arnaldo
Carvalho de Melo)

- handle inline functions in callchains (Jin Yao)

- enable sorting by srcline as key (Milian Wolff)

- 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)

perf tools: Add a simple expression parser for JSON

Add a simple expression parser good enough to parse JSON relation
expressions. The parser is implemented using bison.

This is just intended as an simple parser for internal usage in the
event lists, not the beginning of a "perf scripting language"

v2: Use expr__ prefix instead of expr_
Support multiple free variables for parser

Committer note:

The v2 patch had:

%define api.pure full

In expr.y, that is a feature introduced in bison 2.7, to have reentrant
parsers, not using global variables, which would make tools/perf stop
building with the bison version shipped in older distros, so Andi
realised that the other parsers (e.g. parse-events.y) were using:

%pure-parser

Which is present in older versions of bison and fits the bill.

I added:

CFLAGS_expr-bison.o += -DYYENABLE_NLS=0 -DYYLTYPE_IS_TRIVIAL=0 -w

To finally make it build, copying what was there for pmu-bison.o,
another parser.
