Merge tag 'perf-core-for-mingo-20161003' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/acme/linux into perf/urgent

Pull perf/core improvements and fixes:

- Allow vendors to provide JSON files describing PMU events, that then
  get parsed to generate C tables that are linked against perf, allowing
  the use of the names in their documentations, such as:

  # perf list l1d

  List of pre-defined events (to be used in -e):

  Cache:
    l1d.replacement
         [L1D data line replacements]
    l1d_pend_miss.fb_full
         [Cycles a demand request was blocked due to Fill Buffers inavailability]
    l1d_pend_miss.pending
         [L1D miss oustandings duration in cycles]
    l1d_pend_miss.pending_cycles
         [Cycles with L1D load Misses outstanding]
    l1d_pend_miss.pending_cycles_any
         [Cycles with L1D load Misses outstanding from any thread on physical core]
    l2_trans.l1d_wb
         [L1D writebacks that access L2 cache]

  Pipeline:
    cycle_activity.cycles_l1d_miss
         [Cycles while L1 cache miss demand load is outstanding]
    cycle_activity.cycles_l1d_pending
         [Cycles while L1 cache miss demand load is outstanding]
    cycle_activity.stalls_l1d_miss
         [Execution stalls while L1 cache miss demand load is outstanding]
    cycle_activity.stalls_l1d_pending
         [Execution stalls while L1 cache miss demand load is outstanding]

  The above example was done on a Broadwell based ThinkPad t450s after
  downloading and installing such JSON files which will be added to the
  tools/perf/pmu-events/ directory in a subsequent patchkit.

  Now one can use those names with -e/--event in all 'perf tools'.
  (Andi Kleen, Sukadev Bhattiprolu)

- Add a missing pointer dereference in 'perf probe' (Colin Ian King)

- Add support for building host programs to be used in generating files
  to be used in the build process, such as fixdep and jevents, fixing
  the usage of these features in a cross compilation setup (Jiri Olsa)

+
+The contents of this directory allow users to specify PMU events in their
+CPUs by their symbolic names rather than raw event codes (see example below).
+
+The main program in this directory, is the 'jevents', which is built and
+executed _BEFORE_ the perf binary itself is built.
+
+The 'jevents' program tries to locate and process JSON files in the directory
+tree tools/perf/pmu-events/arch/foo.
+
+	- Regular files with '.json' extension in the name are assumed to be
+	  JSON files, each of which describes a set of PMU events.
+
+	- Regular files with basename starting with 'mapfile.csv' are assumed
+	  to be a CSV file that maps a specific CPU to its set of PMU events.
+	  (see below for mapfile format)
+
+	- Directories are traversed, but all other files are ignored.
+
+The PMU events supported by a CPU model are expected to grouped into topics
+such as Pipelining, Cache, Memory, Floating-point etc. All events for a topic
+should be placed in a separate JSON file - where the file name identifies
+the topic. Eg: "Floating-point.json".
+
+All the topic JSON files for a CPU model/family should be in a separate
+sub directory. Thus for the Silvermont X86 CPU:
+
+	$ ls tools/perf/pmu-events/arch/x86/Silvermont_core
+	Cache.json 	Memory.json 	Virtual-Memory.json
+	Frontend.json 	Pipeline.json
+
+Using the JSON files and the mapfile, 'jevents' generates the C source file,
+'pmu-events.c', which encodes the two sets of tables:
+
+	- Set of 'PMU events tables' for all known CPUs in the architecture,
+	  (one table like the following, per JSON file; table name 'pme_power8'
+	  is derived from JSON file name, 'power8.json').
+
+		struct pmu_event pme_power8[] = {
+
+			...
+
+			{
+				.name = "pm_1plus_ppc_cmpl",
+				.event = "event=0x100f2",
+				.desc = "1 or more ppc insts finished,",
+			},
+
+			...
+		}
+
+	- A 'mapping table' that maps each CPU of the architecture, to its
+	  'PMU events table'
+
+		struct pmu_events_map pmu_events_map[] = {
+		{
+			.cpuid = "004b0000",
+			.version = "1",
+			.type = "core",
+			.table = pme_power8
+		},
+			...
+
+		};
+
+After the 'pmu-events.c' is generated, it is compiled and the resulting
+'pmu-events.o' is added to 'libperf.a' which is then used to build perf.
+
+NOTES:
+	1. Several CPUs can support same set of events and hence use a common
+	   JSON file. Hence several entries in the pmu_events_map[] could map
+	   to a single 'PMU events table'.
+
+	2. The 'pmu-events.h' has an extern declaration for the mapping table
+	   and the generated 'pmu-events.c' defines this table.
+
+	3. _All_ known CPU tables for architecture are included in the perf
+	   binary.
+
+At run time, perf determines the actual CPU it is running on, finds the
+matching events table and builds aliases for those events. This allows
+users to specify events by their name:
+
+	$ perf stat -e pm_1plus_ppc_cmpl sleep 1
+
+where 'pm_1plus_ppc_cmpl' is a Power8 PMU event.
+
+In case of errors when processing files in the tools/perf/pmu-events/arch
+directory, 'jevents' tries to create an empty mapping file to allow the perf
+build to succeed even if the PMU event aliases cannot be used.
+
+However some errors in processing may cause the perf build to fail.
+
+Mapfile format
+===============
+
+The mapfile enables multiple CPU models to share a single set of PMU events.
+It is required even if such mapping is 1:1.
+
+The mapfile.csv format is expected to be:
+
+	Header line
+	CPUID,Version,Dir/path/name,Type
+
+where:
+
+	Comma:
+		is the required field delimiter (i.e other fields cannot
+		have commas within them).
+
+	Comments:
+		Lines in which the first character is either '\n' or '#'
+		are ignored.
+
+	Header line
+		The header line is the first line in the file, which is
+		always _IGNORED_. It can empty.
+
+	CPUID:
+		CPUID is an arch-specific char string, that can be used
+		to identify CPU (and associate it with a set of PMU events
+		it supports). Multiple CPUIDS can point to the same
+		File/path/name.json.
+
+		Example:
+			CPUID == 'GenuineIntel-6-2E' (on x86).
+			CPUID == '004b0100' (PVR value in Powerpc)
+	Version:
+		is the Version of the mapfile.
+
+	Dir/path/name:
+		is the pathname to the directory containing the CPU's JSON
+		files, relative to the directory containing the mapfile.csv
+
+	Type:
+		indicates whether the events or "core" or "uncore" events.
+
+
+	Eg:
+
+	$ grep Silvermont tools/perf/pmu-events/arch/x86/mapfile.csv
+	GenuineIntel-6-37,V13,Silvermont_core,core
+	GenuineIntel-6-4D,V13,Silvermont_core,core
+	GenuineIntel-6-4C,V13,Silvermont_core,core
+
+	i.e the three CPU models use the JSON files (i.e PMU events) listed
+	in the directory 'tools/perf/pmu-events/arch/x86/Silvermont_core'.
