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

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

Kernel:

- kprobes updates: use better W^X patterns for code modifications,
improve optprobes, remove jprobes. (Masami Hiramatsu, Kees Cook)

- core fixes: event timekeeping (enabled/running times statistics)
fixes, perf_event_read() locking fixes and cleanups, etc. (Peter
Zijlstra)

- Extend x86 Intel free-running PEBS support and support x86
user-register sampling in perf record and perf script. (Andi Kleen)

Tooling:

- Completely rework the way inline frames are handled. Instead of
querying for the inline nodes on-demand in the individual tools, we
now create proper callchain nodes for inlined frames. (Milian
Wolff)

- 'perf trace' updates (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

- Implement a way to print formatted output to per-event files in
'perf script' to facilitate generate flamegraphs, elliminating the
need to write scripts to do that separation (yuzhoujian, Arnaldo
Carvalho de Melo)

- Update vendor events JSON metrics for Intel's Broadwell, Broadwell
Server, Haswell, Haswell Server, IvyBridge, IvyTown, JakeTown,
Sandy Bridge, Skylake, SkyLake Server - and Goldmont Plus V1 (Andi
Kleen, Kan Liang)

- Multithread the synthesizing of PERF_RECORD_ events for
pre-existing threads in 'perf top', speeding up that phase, greatly
improving the user experience in systems such as Intel's Knights
Mill (Kan Liang)

- Introduce the concept of weak groups in 'perf stat': try to set up
a group, but if it's not schedulable fallback to not using a group.
That gives us the best of both worlds: groups if they work, but
still a usable fallback if they don't. E.g: (Andi Kleen)

- perf sched timehist enhancements (David Ahern)

- ... various other enhancements, updates, cleanups and fixes"

- Support metrics in 'stat' and 'list'. A metric is a formula that
uses multiple events to compute a higher level result (e.g. IPC). (Andi Kleen)

- Add Intel processors vendor event metrics JSON files (Andi Kleen)

- Add 'pid' and 'tid' options to 'perf sched timehist' (David Ahern)

- Generate 'behavior' string table from kernel headers, helps getting
new parameters when synchronizing kernel headers, like MADV_WIPEONFORK
and MADV_KEEPONFORK, that are now beautied (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

- Improve TUI progress bar by showing how many bytes from a total were
processed (Jiri Olsa)

- Use scandir() to replace readdir(), prep work to have the synthesizing
of PERF_RECORD_ entries for existing threads be multithreaded, making
'perf top' bearable on high core count systems such as Intel's Knights
Landing/Mill (Kan Liang)

- Allow creating a ~/.perfconfig file when setting a variable to its
default value, previously it would bail out and not write such a
file (Taeung Song)

- Introduce wrapper for allowing purely single threaded apps to avoid
the costs of locking (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

- Introduce hashtable to reduce the cost of thread lookup

- Fix build C++ build wrt poison.h using void pointer arithmetic,
affects only the embedded clang/llvm case, that is disabled by
default (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

- Fix leaking rec_argv in error cases (Martin Kepplinger)

- Remove Intel CQM perf test, that infrastructure was nuked (Xiaochen Shen)

perf tools: Provide mutex wrappers for pthreads rwlocks

Andi reported a performance drop in single threaded perf tools such as
'perf script' due to the growing number of locks being put in place to
allow for multithreaded tools, so wrap the POSIX threads rwlock routines
with the names used for such kinds of locks in the Linux kernel and then
allow for tools to ask for those locks to be used or not.

I.e. a tool may have a multithreaded phase and then switch to single
threaded, like the upcoming patches for the synthesizing of
PERF_RECORD_{FORK,MMAP,etc} for pre-existing processes to then switch to
single threaded mode in 'perf top'.

The init routines will not be conditional, this way starting as single
threaded to then move to multi threaded mode should be possible.
