Pull perf/core fixes from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:

- perf_mmap overwrite mode fixes/overhaul, prep work to get 'perf top'
using it, making it bearable to use it in large core count systems
such as Knights Landing/Mill Intel systems (Kan Liang)

- s/390 now uses syscall.tbl, just like x86-64 to generate the syscall
table id -> string tables used by 'perf trace' (Hendrik Brueckner)

- Use strtoull() instead of home grown function (Andy Shevchenko)

- Synchronize kernel ABI headers, v4.16-rc1 (Ingo Molnar)

- Document missing 'perf data --force' option (Sangwon Hong)

- Add perf vendor JSON metrics for ARM Cortex-A53 Processor (William Cohen)

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:

- Clean up the x86 instruction decoder (Masami Hiramatsu)

- Add new uprobes optimization for PUSH instructions on x86 (Yonghong
Song)

- Add MSR_IA32_THERM_STATUS to the MSR events (Stephane Eranian)

- Fix misc bugs, update documentation, plus various cleanups (Jiri
Olsa)

There's a large number of tooling side improvements:

- Intel-PT/BTS improvements (Adrian Hunter)

- Numerous 'perf trace' improvements (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

- Introduce an errno code to string facility (Hendrik Brueckner)

- Various build system improvements (Jiri Olsa)

- Add support for CoreSight trace decoding by making the perf tools
use the external openCSD (Mathieu Poirier, Tor Jeremiassen)

- Add ARM Statistical Profiling Extensions (SPE) support (Kim
Phillips)

- libtraceevent updates (Steven Rostedt)

- Intel vendor event JSON updates (Andi Kleen)

- Introduce 'perf report --mmaps' and 'perf report --tasks' to show
info present in 'perf.data' (Jiri Olsa, Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

- Add infrastructure to record first and last sample time to the
perf.data file header, so that when processing all samples in a
'perf record' session, such as when doing build-id processing, or
when specifically requesting that that info be recorded, use that
in 'perf report --time', that also got support for percent slices
in addition to absolute ones.

I.e. now it is possible to ask for the samples in the 10%-20% time
slice of a perf.data file (Jin Yao)

- Allow system wide 'perf stat --per-thread', sorting the result (Jin
Yao)

E.g.:

[root@jouet ~]# perf stat --per-thread --metrics IPC
^C

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

- Improve build messages for files needed by Intel-PT, originally copied
from the kernel sources, that drifted from its original (Adrian Hunter)

- Allow computing 'perf stat' style metrics in 'perf script' (Andi Kleen)

- Fix 'perf report -D' output for user metadata events (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

- Add feature test for pthread_barrier_t availability (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

- Allow again using x86's asm.h when building for the 'bpf' clang target,
making some 'perf test' LLVM/BPF entries work again (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

- Use cpumaps in 'perf bench futex', eliminating some code duplication
(Davidlohr Bueso)

- Improve PMU infrastructure to support amp64's ThunderX2 implementation
defined core events (Ganapatrao Kulkarni)

- Add hint about how to add USDT probes for Node.js (Hansuk Hong)

- s/390 needs -fPIC to be incrementally linked or linked to shared
libraries (Hendrik Brueckner)

- Use pthread_barrier to synch 'perf bench futex wake-parallel' waker
threads (James Yang)

- Fix up build in hardened environments, such as Fedora 27 (Jiri Olsa)

- Add a tip about cacheline events in 'perf c2c' (Sangwon Hong)

- Set browser mode right before setup_browser(), because we may have
errors printed before that, which were getting lost (Seokho Song)

- s390x doesn't support PERF_TYPE_BREAKPOINT, so disable 'perf test'
cases 19 and 20 on s390x, that tests that feature (Thomas Richter)

- Fix unnecessary memory allocation for s390x 'perf annotate' objdump
parsing, which could lead to thousands of needless entries in the
instruction handling array (Thomas Richter)

- Fix objdump comment parsing for Intel mov dissassembly (Thomas Richter)

- Clarify usage of 'overwrite' and 'backward' in the evlist/mmap code,
removing the 'overwrite' parameter from several functions as it was
always used it as 'false' (Wang Nan)

- Fix 'perf record' backward recording, it wasn't doing what was
expected: overwriting records when the ring buffer gets full (Wang Nan)

- Use more flexible pattern matching for CPU identification for perf
vendor event's mapfile.csv, removing the need for a new perf binary
for a sligthly different chip revision that shares the same set of
counters (William Cohen)

Merge tag 'perf-core-for-mingo-4.15-20171117' 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:

- Optimize sample parsing for ordering events, where we don't need to parse
all the PERF_SAMPLE_ bits, just the ones leading to the timestamp needed
to reorder events (Jiri Olsa)

- Use a dummy event to ask for PERF_RECORD_{MMAP,COMM,EXEC} with
'perf record --delay', when the events asked by the user will only be
enabled after the workload is started and the requested delay passes,
so we need to add the dummy event and have it .enabled_on_exec. This
then allows us to resolve symbols for the DSO executable MMAPs setup
while we wait for the delay (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

- Synchronize kcmp.h and prctl.h ABI headers wrt SPDX tags (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

- Generalize the annotation code to support other source information
besides objdump/DWARF obtained ones, starting with python scripts,
that will is slated to be merged soon (Jiri Olsa)

- Advance the source code lines to right after the column with the
address in asm lines (Jiri Olsa)

- Fix terminal dimensions resizing signal handling in 'perf top --stdio' (Jiri Olsa)

- Improve error messages for PMU events (Kim Phillips)

- Fix 'perf record' -c/-F options for cpu event aliases (Andi Kleen)

- Enable type checking for perf_evsel_config_term types (Andi Kleen)

- Call machine__exit() at 'perf trace' exit, so as to remove temporary
files related to VDSO (Andrei Vagin)

- Add "reject" option to parse-events.l, fixing the build with newer
flex releases. Noticed with flex 2.6.4 on Alpine Linux 3.6 and Edge (Jiri Olsa)

- Document some missing perf.data headers (Andi Kleen)

- Allow printing period for non freq mod groups (Andi Kleen)

- Do not warn the user about kernel.kptr_restrict when not sampling the
kernel (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

- Fix bug in 'perf help' introduced during conversion to strstart() (Namhyung Kim)

- Do not truncate ASM instruction mnemonics at 6 characters in the annotation
output, PowerPC has long ones (Ravi Bangoria)

- Document some missing command line options (Sihyeon Jang)

- Update POWER9 vendor event tables (Sukadev Bhattiprolu)

- Fix 'perf test' shell entries on s390x, where the 'openat' syscall
is used instead of 'open' in one of the tests and

- No need to use overwrite mmap mode in 'perf test', those tests
do not generate massive amount of events to fill the ring buffer (Wang Nan)

- Add missing command line options (mostly --force/-f) to the man pages (Sihyeon Jang)
