Merge branch 'perf-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull perf fixes from Thomas Gleixner: "A larger set of updates for perf. Kernel: - Handle the SBOX uncore monitoring correctly on Broadwell CPUs which do not have SBOX. - Store context switch out type in PERF_RECORD_SWITCH[_CPU_WIDE]. The percentage of preempting and non-preempting context switches help understanding the nature of workloads (CPU or IO bound) that are running on a machine. This adds the kernel facility and userspace changes needed to show this information in 'perf script' and 'perf report -D' (Alexey Budankov) - Remove a WARN_ON() in the trace/kprobes code which is pointless because the return error code is already telling the caller what's wrong. - Revert a fugly workaround for clang BPF targets. - Fix sample_max_stack maximum check and do not proceed when an error has been detect, return them to avoid misidentifying errors (Jiri Olsa) - Add SPDX idenitifiers and get rid of GPL boilderplate. Tools: - Synchronize kernel ABI headers, v4.17-rc1 (Ingo Molnar) - Support MAP_FIXED_NOREPLACE, noticed when updating the tools/include/ copies (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo) - Add '\n' at the end of parse-options error messages (Ravi Bangoria) - Add s390 support for detailed/verbose PMU event description (Thomas Richter) - perf annotate fixes and improvements: * Allow showing offsets in more than just jump targets, use the new 'O' hotkey in the TUI, config ~/.perfconfig annotate.offset_level for it and for --stdio2 (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo) * Use the resolved variable names from objdump disassembled lines to make them more compact, just like was already done for some instructions, like "mov", this eventually will be done more generally, but lets now add some more to the existing mechanism (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo) - perf record fixes: * Change warning for missing topology sysfs entry to debug, as not all architectures have those files, s390 being one of those (Thomas Richter) * Remove old error messages about things that unlikely to be the root cause in modern systems (Andi Kleen) - perf sched fixes: * Fix -g/--call-graph documentation (Takuya Yamamoto) - perf stat: * Enable 1ms interval for printing event counters values in (Alexey Budankov) - perf test fixes: * Run dwarf unwind on arm32 (Kim Phillips) * Remove unused ptrace.h include from LLVM test, sidesteping older clang's lack of support for some asm constructs (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo) * Fixup BPF test using epoll_pwait syscall function probe, to cope with the syscall routines renames performed in this development cycle (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo) - perf version fixes: * Do not print info about HAVE_LIBAUDIT_SUPPORT in 'perf version --build-options' when HAVE_SYSCALL_TABLE_SUPPORT is true, as libaudit won't be used in that case, print info about syscall_table support instead (Jin Yao) - Build system fixes: * Use HAVE_..._SUPPORT used consistently (Jin Yao) * Restore READ_ONCE() C++ compatibility in tools/include (Mark Rutland) * Give hints about package names needed to build jvmti (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)" * 'perf-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (37 commits) perf/x86/intel/uncore: Fix SBOX support for Broadwell CPUs perf/x86/intel/uncore: Revert "Remove SBOX support for Broadwell server" coresight: Move to SPDX identifier perf test BPF: Fixup BPF test using epoll_pwait syscall function probe perf tests mmap: Show which tracepoint is failing perf tools: Add '\n' at the end of parse-options error messages perf record: Remove suggestion to enable APIC perf record: Remove misleading error suggestion perf hists browser: Clarify top/report browser help perf mem: Allow all record/report options perf trace: Support MAP_FIXED_NOREPLACE perf: Remove superfluous allocation error check perf: Fix sample_max_stack maximum check perf: Return proper values for user stack errors perf list: Add s390 support for detailed/verbose PMU event description perf script: Extend misc field decoding with switch out event type perf report: Extend raw dump (-D) out with switch out event type perf/core: Store context switch out type in PERF_RECORD_SWITCH[_CPU_WIDE] tools/headers: Synchronize kernel ABI headers, v4.17-rc1 trace_kprobe: Remove warning message "Could not insert probe at..." ...
