Pull perf changes from Ingo Molnar:
"Kernel side changes:
- Consolidate the PMU interrupt-disabled code amongst architectures
(Vince Weaver)
- misc fixes
Tooling changes (new features, user visible changes):
- Add support for pagefault tracing in 'trace', please see multiple
examples in the changeset messages (Stanislav Fomichev).
- Add pagefault statistics in 'trace' (Stanislav Fomichev)
- Add header for columns in 'top' and 'report' TUI browsers (Jiri
Olsa)
- Add pagefault statistics in 'trace' (Stanislav Fomichev)
- Add IO mode into timechart command (Stanislav Fomichev)
- Fallback to syscalls:* when raw_syscalls:* is not available in the
perl and python perf scripts. (Daniel Bristot de Oliveira)
- Add --repeat global option to 'perf bench' to be used in benchmarks
such as the existing 'futex' one, that was modified to use it
instead of a local option. (Davidlohr Bueso)
- Fix fd -> pathname resolution in 'trace', be it using /proc or a
vfs_getname probe point. (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- Add suggestion of how to set perf_event_paranoid sysctl, to help
non-root users trying tools like 'trace' to get a working
environment. (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- Updates from trace-cmd for traceevent plugin_kvm plus args cleanup
(Steven Rostedt, Jan Kiszka)
- Support S/390 in 'perf kvm stat' (Alexander Yarygin)
Tooling infrastructure changes:
- Allow reserving a row for header purposes in the hists browser
(Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- Various fixes and prep work related to supporting Intel PT (Adrian
Hunter)
- Introduce multiple debug variables control (Jiri Olsa)
- Add callchain and additional sample information for python scripts
(Joseph Schuchart)
- More prep work to support Intel PT: (Adrian Hunter)
- Polishing 'script' BTS output
- 'inject' can specify --kallsym
- VDSO is per machine, not a global var
- Expose data addr lookup functions previously private to 'script'
- Large mmap fixes in events processing
- Include standard stringify macros in power pc code (Sukadev
Bhattiprolu)
Tooling cleanups:
- Convert open coded equivalents to asprintf() (Andy Shevchenko)
- Remove needless reassignments in 'trace' (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- Cache the is_exit syscall test in 'trace) (Arnaldo Carvalho de
Melo)
- No need to reimplement err() in 'perf bench sched-messaging', drop
barf(). (Davidlohr Bueso).
- Remove ev_name argument from perf_evsel__hists_browse, can be
obtained from the other parameters. (Jiri Olsa)
Tooling fixes:
- Fix memory leak in the 'sched-messaging' perf bench test.
(Davidlohr Bueso)
- The -o and -n 'perf bench mem' options are mutually exclusive, emit
error when both are specified. (Davidlohr Bueso)
- Fix scrollbar refresh row index in the ui browser, problem exposed
now that headers will be added and will be allowed to be switched
on/off. (Jiri Olsa)
- Handle the num array type in python properly (Sebastian Andrzej
Siewior)
- Fix wrong condition for allocation failure (Jiri Olsa)
- Adjust callchain based on DWARF debug info on powerpc (Sukadev
Bhattiprolu)
- Fix a risk for doing free on uninitialized pointer in traceevent
lib (Rickard Strandqvist)
- Update attr test with PERF_FLAG_FD_CLOEXEC flag (Jiri Olsa)
- Enable close-on-exec flag on perf file descriptor (Yann Droneaud)
- Fix build on gcc 4.4.7 (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- Event ordering fixes (Jiri Olsa)"
