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 kernel side changes were:

- uprobes enhancements (Masami Hiramatsu)

- Uncore group events enhancements (David Carrillo-Cisneros)

- x86 Intel: Add support for Skylake server uncore PMUs (Kan Liang)

- x86 Intel: LBR cleanups and enhancements, for better branch
annotation tracking (Peter Zijlstra)

- x86 Intel: Add support for PTWRITE and power event tracing
(Alexander Shishkin)

- ... various fixes, cleanups and smaller enhancements.

Lots of tooling changes - a couple of highlights:

- Support event group view with hierarchy mode in 'perf top' and
'perf report' (Namhyung Kim)

e.g.:

$ perf record -e '{cycles,instructions}' make
$ perf report --hierarchy --stdio
...
# Overhead Command / Shared Object / Symbol
# ...................... ..................................
...
25.74% 27.18%sh
19.96% 24.14%libc-2.24.so
9.55% 14.64%[.] __strcmp_sse2
1.54% 0.00%[.] __tfind
1.07% 1.13%[.] _int_malloc
0.95% 0.00%[.] __strchr_sse2
0.89% 1.39%[.] __tsearch
0.76% 0.00%[.] strlen

- Add branch stack / basic block info to 'perf annotate --stdio',
where for each branch, we add an asm comment after the instruction
with information on how often it was taken and predicted. See
example with color output at:

http://vger.kernel.org/~acme/perf/annotate_basic_blocks.png

(Peter Zijlstra)

- Add support for using symbols in address filters with Intel PT and
ARM CoreSight (hardware assisted tracing facilities) (Adrian
Hunter, Mathieu Poirier)

- Add support for interacting with Coresight PMU ETMs/PTMs, that are
IP blocks to perform hardware assisted tracing on a ARM CPU core
(Mathieu Poirier)

- Support generating cross arch probes, i.e. if you specify a vmlinux
file for different arch than the one in the host machine,

$ perf probe --definition function_name args

will generate the probe definition string needed to append to the
target machine /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobes_events file, using
scripting (Masami Hiramatsu).

- Allow configuring the default 'perf report -s' sort order in
~/.perfconfig, for instance, "sym,dso" may be more fitting for
kernel developers. (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

- ... plus lots of other changes, refactorings, features and fixes"

* 'perf-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (149 commits)
perf tests: Add dwarf unwind test for powerpc
perf probe: Match linkage name with mangled name

perf intel-pt: Add support for recording the max non-turbo ratio

Previously the maximum non-turbo ratio was calculated from TSC assuming
a 100 MHz multiplier which is correct for current hardware supporting
Intel PT. However more recent kernels also now export the value, so use
that in preference to the calculated value.

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

"Main perf kernel side changes:

- uprobes updates/fixes. (Oleg Nesterov)

- Add support for using several Intel PT features (CYC, MTC packets),
the relevant documentation was updated in:
tools/perf/Documentation/intel-pt.txt
briefly describing those packets, its purposes, how to configure
them in the event config terms and relevant external documentation
for further reading. (Adrian Hunter)

- Introduce support for probing at an absolute address, for user and
kernel 'perf probe's, useful when one have the symbol maps on a
developer machine but not on an embedded system. (Wang Nan)

- Add Intel BTS support, with a call-graph script to show it and PT
in use in a GUI using 'perf script' python scripting with
postgresql and Qt. (Adrian Hunter)

- Allow selecting the type of callchains per event, including
disabling callchains in all but one entry in an event list, to save
space, and also to ask for the callchains collected in one event to
be used in other events. (Kan Liang)

- Beautify more syscall arguments in 'perf trace': (Arnaldo Carvalho
de Melo)
* A bunch more translate file/pathnames from pointers to strings.
* Convert numbers to strings for the 'keyctl' syscall 'option'
arg.
* Add missing 'clockid' entries.

- Introduce 'srcfile' sort key: (Andi Kleen)

# perf record -F 10000 usleep 1
# perf report --stdio --dsos '[kernel.vmlinux]' -s srcfile
<SNIP>
# Overhead Source File
26.49% copy_page_64.S
5.49% signal.c
0.51% msr.h
#

It can be combined with other fields, for instance, experiment with
'-s srcfile,symbol'.

There are some oddities in some distros and with some specific
DSOs, being investigated, so your mileage may vary.

- Support per-event 'freq' term: (Namhyung Kim)

$ perf record -e 'cpu/instructions,freq=1234/',cycles -c 1000 sleep 1
$ perf evlist -F
cpu/instructions,freq=1234/: sample_freq=1234
cycles: sample_period=1000
$

- Deref sys_enter pointer args with contents from probe:vfs_getname,
showing pathnames instead of pointers in many syscalls in 'perf
trace'. (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

- Stop collecting /proc/kallsyms in perf.data files, saving about
4.5MB on a typical x86-64 system, use the the symbol resolution
routines used in all the other tools (report, top, etc) now that we
can ask libtraceevent to use perf's symbol resolution code.
(Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

- Allow filtering out of perf's PID via 'perf record --exclude-perf'.
(Wang Nan)

- 'perf trace' now supports syscall groups, like strace, i.e:

$ trace -e file touch file

Will expand 'file' into multiple, file related, syscalls. More
work needed to add extra groups for other syscall groups, and also
to complement what was added for the 'file' group, included as a
proof of concept. (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

- Add lock_pi stresser to 'perf bench futex', to test the kernel code
