Linus Torvalds 5cb52b5e16 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:

   - Intel Knights Landing support.  (Harish Chegondi)

   - Intel Broadwell-EP uncore PMU support.  (Kan Liang)

   - Core code improvements.  (Peter Zijlstra.)

   - Event filter, LBR and PEBS fixes.  (Stephane Eranian)

   - Various x86 NMI overhead optimizations.  (Andi Kleen)

   - Intel PT enhancements.  (Takao Indoh)

   - AMD cache events fix.  (Vince Weaver)

  Tons of tooling changes:

   - Show random perf tool tips in the 'perf report' bottom line
     (Namhyung Kim)

   - perf report now defaults to --group if the perf.data file has
     grouped events, try it with:

      # perf record -e '{cycles,instructions}' -a sleep 1
      [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
      [ perf record: Captured and wrote 1.093 MB perf.data (1247 samples) ]
      # perf report
      # Samples: 1K of event 'anon group { cycles, instructions }'
      # Event count (approx.): 1955219195
      #
      #       Overhead  Command     Shared Object      Symbol

   - Introduce the 'perf stat record/report' workflow:

     Generate perf.data files from 'perf stat', to tap into the
     scripting capabilities perf has instead of defining a 'perf stat'
     specific scripting support to calculate event ratios, etc.

     Simple example:

        $ perf stat record -e cycles usleep 1

         Performance counter stats for 'usleep 1':

               1,134,996      cycles

             0.000670644 seconds time elapsed

        $ perf stat report

         Performance counter stats for '/home/acme/bin/perf stat record -e cycles usleep 1':

               1,134,996      cycles

             0.000670644 seconds time elapsed

        $

     It generates PERF_RECORD_ userspace records to store the details:

        $ perf report -D | grep PERF_RECORD
        0xf0 [0x28]: PERF_RECORD_THREAD_MAP nr: 1 thread: 27637
        0x118 [0x12]: PERF_RECORD_CPU_MAP nr: 1 cpu: 65535
        0x12a [0x40]: PERF_RECORD_STAT_CONFIG
        0x16a [0x30]: PERF_RECORD_STAT
        -1 -1 0x19a [0x40]: PERF_RECORD_MMAP -1/0: [0xffffffff81000000(0x1f000000) @ 0xffffffff81000000]: x [kernel.kallsyms]_text
        0x1da [0x18]: PERF_RECORD_STAT_ROUND
        [acme@ssdandy linux]$

     An effort was made to make perf.data files generated like this to
     not generate cryptic messages when processed by older tools.

     The 'perf script' bits need rebasing, will go up later.

   - Make command line options always available, even when they depend
     on some feature being enabled, warning the user about use of such
     options (Wang Nan)

   - Support hw breakpoint events (mem:0xAddress) in the default output
     mode in 'perf script' (Wang Nan)

   - Fixes and improvements for supporting annotating ARM binaries,
     support ARM call and jump instructions, more work needed to have
     arch specific stuff separated into tools/perf/arch/*/annotate/
     (Russell King)

   - Add initial 'perf config' command, for now just with a --list
     command to the contents of the configuration file in use and a
     basic man page describing its format, commands for doing edits and
     detailed documentation are being reviewed and proof-read.  (Taeung
     Song)

   - Allows BPF scriptlets specify arguments to be fetched using DWARF
     info, using a prologue generated at compile/build time (He Kuang,
     Wang Nan)

   - Allow attaching BPF scriptlets to module symbols (Wang Nan)

   - Allow attaching BPF scriptlets to userspace code using uprobe (Wang
     Nan)

   - BPF programs now can specify 'perf probe' tunables via its section
     name, separating key=val values using semicolons (Wang Nan)

     Testing some of these new BPF features:

        Use case: get callchains when receiving SSL packets, filter then in the
                  kernel, at arbitrary place.

        # cat ssl.bpf.c
        #define SEC(NAME) __attribute__((section(NAME), used))

        struct pt_regs;

        SEC("func=__inet_lookup_established hnum")
        int func(struct pt_regs *ctx, int err, unsigned short port)
        {
                return err == 0 && port == 443;
        }

        char _license[] SEC("license") = "GPL";
        int  _version   SEC("version") = LINUX_VERSION_CODE;

        #

   - Use 'perf probe' various options to list functions, see what
     variables can be collected at any given point, experiment first
     collecting without a filter, then filter, use it together with
     'perf trace', 'perf top', with or without callchains, if it
     explodes, please tell us!

   - Introduce a new callchain mode: "folded", that will list per line
     representations of all callchains for a give histogram entry,
     facilitating 'perf report' output processing by other tools, such
     as Brendan Gregg's flamegraph tools (Namhyung Kim)

     E.g:

        # perf report | grep -v ^# | head
           18.37%     0.00%  swapper  [kernel.kallsyms]   [k] cpu_startup_entry
                           |
                           ---cpu_startup_entry
                              |
                              |--12.07%--start_secondary
                              |
                               --6.30%--rest_init
                                         start_kernel
                                         x86_64_start_reservations
                                         x86_64_start_kernel
         #
