Merge branch 'perf-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull perf updates from Ingo Molnar: "Features: - Add "uretprobes" - an optimization to uprobes, like kretprobes are an optimization to kprobes. "perf probe -x file sym%return" now works like kretprobes. By Oleg Nesterov. - Introduce per core aggregation in 'perf stat', from Stephane Eranian. - Add memory profiling via PEBS, from Stephane Eranian. - Event group view for 'annotate' in --stdio, --tui and --gtk, from Namhyung Kim. - Add support for AMD NB and L2I "uncore" counters, by Jacob Shin. - Add Ivy Bridge-EP uncore support, by Zheng Yan - IBM zEnterprise EC12 oprofile support patchlet from Robert Richter. - Add perf test entries for checking breakpoint overflow signal handler issues, from Jiri Olsa. - Add perf test entry for for checking number of EXIT events, from Namhyung Kim. - Add perf test entries for checking --cpu in record and stat, from Jiri Olsa. - Introduce perf stat --repeat forever, from Frederik Deweerdt. - Add --no-demangle to report/top, from Namhyung Kim. - PowerPC fixes plus a couple of cleanups/optimizations in uprobes and trace_uprobes, by Oleg Nesterov. Various fixes and refactorings: - Fix dependency of the python binding wrt libtraceevent, from Naohiro Aota. - Simplify some perf_evlist methods and to allow 'stat' to share code with 'record' and 'trace', by Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo. - Remove dead code in related to libtraceevent integration, from Namhyung Kim. - Revert "perf sched: Handle PERF_RECORD_EXIT events" to get 'perf sched lat' back working, by Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo - We don't use Newt anymore, just plain libslang, by Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo. - Kill a bunch of die() calls, from Namhyung Kim. - Fix build on non-glibc systems due to libio.h absence, from Cody P Schafer. - Remove some perf_session and tracing dead code, from David Ahern. - Honor parallel jobs, fix from Borislav Petkov - Introduce tools/lib/lk library, initially just removing duplication among tools/perf and tools/vm. from Borislav Petkov ... and many more I missed to list, see the shortlog and git log for more details." * 'perf-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (136 commits) perf/x86/intel/P4: Robistify P4 PMU types perf/x86/amd: Fix AMD NB and L2I "uncore" support perf/x86/amd: Remove old-style NB counter support from perf_event_amd.c perf/x86: Check all MSRs before passing hw check perf/x86/amd: Add support for AMD NB and L2I "uncore" counters perf/x86/intel: Add Ivy Bridge-EP uncore support perf/x86/intel: Fix SNB-EP CBO and PCU uncore PMU filter management perf/x86: Avoid kfree() in CPU_{STARTING,DYING} uprobes/perf: Avoid perf_trace_buf_prepare/submit if ->perf_events is empty uprobes/tracing: Don't pass addr=ip to perf_trace_buf_submit() uprobes/tracing: Change create_trace_uprobe() to support uretprobes uprobes/tracing: Make seq_printf() code uretprobe-friendly uprobes/tracing: Make register_uprobe_event() paths uretprobe-friendly uprobes/tracing: Make uprobe_{trace,perf}_print() uretprobe-friendly uprobes/tracing: Introduce is_ret_probe() and uretprobe_dispatcher() uprobes/tracing: Introduce uprobe_{trace,perf}_print() helpers uprobes/tracing: Generalize struct uprobe_trace_entry_head uprobes/tracing: Kill the pointless local_save_flags/preempt_count calls uprobes/tracing: Kill the pointless seq_print_ip_sym() call uprobes/tracing: Kill the pointless task_pt_regs() calls ...
