Merge branch 'perf-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull perf updates from Ingo Molnar:
"The main changes in this cycle were:
Kernel side changes:
- Kprobes and uprobes changes:
- Make their trampolines read-only while they are used
- Make UPROBES_EVENTS default-y which is the distro practice
- Apply misc fixes and robustization to probe point insertion.
- add support for AMD IOMMU events
- extend hw events on Intel Goldmont CPUs
- ... plus misc fixes and updates.
Tooling side changes:
- support s390 jump instructions in perf annotate (Christian
Borntraeger)
- vendor hardware events updates (Andi Kleen)
- add argument support for SDT events in powerpc (Ravi Bangoria)
- beautify the statx syscall arguments in 'perf trace' (Arnaldo
Carvalho de Melo)
- handle inline functions in callchains (Jin Yao)
- enable sorting by srcline as key (Milian Wolff)
- add 'brstackinsn' field in 'perf script' to reuse the x86
instruction decoder used in the Intel PT code to study hot paths to
samples (Andi Kleen)
- add PERF_RECORD_NAMESPACES so that the kernel can record
information required to associate samples to namespaces, helping in
container problem characterization. (Hari Bathini)
- allow sorting by symbol_size in 'perf report' and 'perf top'
(Charles Baylis)
- in perf stat, make system wide (-a) the default option if no target
was specified and one of following conditions is met:
- no workload specified (current behaviour)
- a workload is specified but all requested events are system wide
ones, like uncore ones. (Jiri Olsa)
- ... plus lots of other updates, enhancements, cleanups and fixes"
