Trivial merge issue in selinux_inet_conn_request() likely due to me
including patches that I sent to the stable folks in my next tree
resulting in the patch hitting twice (I think). Thankfully it was an
easy fix this time, but regardless, lesson learned, I will not do that

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

Tooling side changes, user visible:

- 'perf diff':
- 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':
- Rename --no-delay option to --no-buffering, better reflecting its
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)

- 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
(Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- 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
Carvalho de Melo)
- Convert to new topic libraries, starting with an API one (sysfs,
debugfs, etc), renaming liblk in the process (Borislav Petkov)
- Get rid of some more panic() like error handling in libtraceevent.
(Namhyung Kim)
- Get rid of panic() like calls in libtraceevent (Namyung Kim)
- Start carving out symbol parsing routines (perf, just moving
routines to topic files in tools/lib/symbol/, tools that want to
use it need to integrate it directly, ie no
tools/lib/symbol/Makefile is provided (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- Assorted refactoring patches, moving code around and adding utility
evlist methods that will be used in the IPT patchset (Adrian
Hunter)
- Assorted mmap_pages handling fixes (Adrian Hunter)
- Several man pages typo fixes (Dongsheng Yang)
- Get rid of several die() calls in libtraceevent (Namhyung Kim)

different system library implementations for that function
(Stephane Eranian)

and renaming some fields to clarify its purpose (Arnaldo Carvalho
de Melo)

problems on some architectures (Jean Pihet)
- Do not disable source line lookup just because of one failure.
(Adrian Hunter)
- Several 'perf kvm' man page corrections (Dongsheng Yang)

'writen()' (Jiri Olsa)
- Start moving timechart state from global variables to a 'perf_tool'
derived 'timechart' struct (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

Pull perf updates from Ingo Molnar:
"As a first remark I'd like to note that the way to build perf tooling
has been simplified and sped up, in the future it should be enough for
you to build perf via:

cd tools/perf/
make install

(ie without the -j option.) The build system will figure out the
number of CPUs and will do a parallel build+install.

The various build system inefficiencies and breakages Linus reported
against the v3.12 pull request should now be resolved - please
(re-)report any remaining annoyances or bugs.

Main changes on the perf kernel side:

* Performance optimizations:
. perf ring-buffer code optimizations, by Peter Zijlstra
. perf ring-buffer code optimizations, by Oleg Nesterov
. x86 NMI call-stack processing optimizations, by Peter Zijlstra
. perf context-switch optimizations, by Peter Zijlstra

. for uprobes platform support code

* New ABI details by Andi Kleen:
. Report x86 Haswell TSX transaction abort cost as weight

Main changes on the perf tooling side (some of these tooling changes
utilize the above kernel side changes):

* 'perf report/top' enhancements:

. Convert callchain children list to rbtree, greatly reducing the
time taken for callchain processing, from Namhyung Kim.

. Add new COMM infrastructure, further improving histogram
processing, from Frédéric Weisbecker, one fix from Namhyung Kim.

. Add /proc/kcore based live-annotation improvements, including
build-id cache support, multi map 'call' instruction navigation
fixes, kcore address validation, objdump workarounds. From
Adrian Hunter.

. Show progress on histogram collapsing, that can take a long
time, from Namhyung Kim.

. Add --max-stack option to limit callchain stack scan in 'top'
and 'report', improving callchain processing when reducing the
stack depth is an option, from Waiman Long.

. Add new option --ignore-vmlinux for perf top, from Willy
Tarreau.

* 'perf trace' enhancements:

. 'perf trace' now can can use a 'perf probe' dynamic tracepoints
to hook into the userspace -> kernel pathname copy so that it
can map fds to pathnames without reading /proc/pid/fd/ symlinks.
From Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo.

. Show VFS path associated with fd in live sessions, using a
'vfs_getname' 'perf probe' created dynamic tracepoint or by
looking at /proc/pid/fd, from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo.

. Add 'trace' beautifiers for lots of syscall arguments, from
Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo.

. Implement more compact 'trace' output by suppressing zeroed
args, from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo.

. Add summary option to dump syscall statistics in 'trace', from
David Ahern.

. Improve error messages in 'trace', providing hints about system
configuration steps needed for using it, from Ramkumar
Ramachandra.

. 'perf trace' now emits hints as to why tracing is not possible,
helping the user to setup the system to allow tracing in the
desired permission granularity, telling if the problem is due to
debugfs not being mounted or with not enough permission for
!root, /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoit value, etc. From
Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo.

* 'perf record' enhancements:

. Check maximum frequency rate for record/top, emitting better
error messages, from Jiri Olsa.

. 'perf record' code cleanups, from David Ahern.

. Improve write_output error message in 'perf record', from Adrian
Hunter.

. Allow specifying B/K/M/G unit to the --mmap-pages arguments,
from Jiri Olsa.

. Fix command line callchain attribute tests to handle the new
-g/--call-chain semantics, from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo.

* 'perf kvm' enhancements:

. Disable live kvm command if timerfd is not supported, from David
Ahern.

. Fix detection of non-core features, from David Ahern.

* 'perf list' enhancements:

. Add usage to 'perf list', from David Ahern.

. Show error in 'perf list' if tracepoints not available, from
Pekka Enberg.

* 'perf probe' enhancements:

. Support "$vars" meta argument syntax for local variables,
allowing asking for all possible variables at a given probe
point to be collected when it hits, from Masami Hiramatsu.

* 'perf sched' enhancements:

. Address the root cause of that 'perf sched' stack initialization
build slowdown, by programmatically setting a big array after
moving the global variable back to the stack. Fix from Adrian
Hunter.

* 'perf script' enhancements:

. Set up output options for in-stream attributes, from Adrian
Hunter.

. Print addr by default for BTS in 'perf script', from Adrian
Juntmer

from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo.

. Add units to nanosec-based counters in 'perf stat', from David
Ahern.

. Remove bogus info when using 'perf stat' -e cycles/instructions,
from Ramkumar Ramachandra.

* 'perf lock' enhancements:

. 'perf lock' fixes and cleanups, from Davidlohr Bueso.

* 'perf test' enhancements:

. Fixup PERF_SAMPLE_TRANSACTION handling in sample synthesizing
and 'perf test', from Adrian Hunter.

reorganization from Jiri Olsa.

. Fix version when building out of tree, as when using one of
these:

$ make help | grep perf
perf-tar-src-pkg - Build perf-3.12.0.tar source tarball
perf-targz-src-pkg - Build perf-3.12.0.tar.gz source tarball
perf-tarbz2-src-pkg - Build perf-3.12.0.tar.bz2 source tarball
perf-tarxz-src-pkg - Build perf-3.12.0.tar.xz source tarball
$

from David Ahern.

. Enhance option parse error message, showing just the help lines
of the options affected, from Namhyung Kim.

. libtraceevent updates from upstream trace-cmd repo, from Steven
Rostedt.

. Always use perf_evsel__set_sample_bit to set sample_type, from
Adrian Hunter.

. Memory and mmap leak fixes from Chenggang Qin.

. Assorted build fixes for from David Ahern and Jiri Olsa.

. Speed up and prettify the build system, from Ingo Molnar.

. Implement addr2line directly using libbfd, from Roberto Vitillo.

. Separate the GTK support in a separate libperf-gtk.so DSO, that
is only loaded when --gtk is specified, from Namhyung Kim.

. perf bash completion fixes and improvements from Ramkumar
Ramachandra.

. Support for Openembedded/Yocto -dbg packages, from Ricardo
Ribalda Delgado.

And lots and lots of other fixes and code reorganizations that did not
make it into the list, see the shortlog, diffstat and the Git log for
details!"

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:

* Convert callchain children list to rbtree, greatly reducing the time
taken for callchain processing, from Namhyung Kim.

* Add --max-stack option to limit callchain stack scan in 'top' and 'report',
improving callchain processing when reducing the stack depth is an option,
from Waiman Long.

* Compare dso's also when comparing symbols, to avoid grouping together
symbols with the same name but on different DSOs, fix from Namhyung Kim.

* 'perf trace' now can can use a 'perf probe' wannabe tracepoint to hook into
the userspace -> kernel pathname copy so that it can map fds to pathnames
without reading /proc/pid/fd/ symlinks. From Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo.

* 'perf trace' now emits hints as to why tracing is not possible, helping the
user to setup the system to allow tracing in the desired permission
granularity, telling if the problem is due to debugfs not being mounted or
with not enough permission for !root, /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoit
value, etc. From Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo.

* Add missing 'mmap2' in evsel debug print, from Adrian Hunter.

* Add missing decrement in id sample parsing, not a fix per se, just to
avoid a problem whem somebody adds another field, from Adrian Hunter.

* Improve write_output error message in 'perf record', from Adrian Hunter.

* Add missing sample flush for piped events, fix from Adrian Hunter.

* Add missing members to perf_event__attr_swap(), fix from Adrian Hunter.

* Assorted fixes for 32-bit build, from Adrian Hunter

* Print addr by default for BTS in 'perf script', from Adrian Juntmer

* Separating data file properties from session, code reorganization from
Jiri Olsa.

* Show error in 'perf list' if tracepoints not available, from Pekka Enberg.
