<title>perf trace: Use the syscall raw_syscalls:sys_enter timestamp</title>

commit ecf1e2253ea79c6204f4d6a5e756e8fb4aed5a7e upstream.

Instead of the one when another syscall takes place while another is being
processed (in another CPU, but we show it serialized, so need to "interrupt"
the other), and also when finally showing the sys_enter + sys_exit + duration,
where we were showing the sample-&gt;time for the sys_exit, duh.

Before:

  # perf trace sleep 1
  &lt;SNIP&gt;
     0.373 (   0.001 ms): close(fd: 3                   ) = 0
  1000.626 (1000.211 ms): nanosleep(rqtp: 0x7ffd6ddddfb0) = 0
  1000.653 (   0.003 ms): close(fd: 1                   ) = 0
  1000.657 (   0.002 ms): close(fd: 2                   ) = 0
  1000.667 (   0.000 ms): exit_group(                   )
  #

After:

  # perf trace sleep 1
  &lt;SNIP&gt;
     0.336 (   0.001 ms): close(fd: 3                   ) = 0
     0.373 (1000.086 ms): nanosleep(rqtp: 0x7ffe303e9550) = 0
  1000.481 (   0.002 ms): close(fd: 1                   ) = 0
  1000.485 (   0.001 ms): close(fd: 2                   ) = 0

<title>perf symbols: Fixup symbol sizes before picking best ones</title>

commit 432746f8e0b6a82ba832b771afe31abd51af6752 upstream.

When we call symbol__fixup_duplicate() we use algorithms to pick the
"best" symbols for cases where there are various functions/aliases to an
address, and those check zero size symbols, which, before calling
symbol__fixup_end() are _all_ symbols in a just parsed kallsyms file.

So first fixup the end, then fixup the duplicates.

Found while trying to figure out why 'perf test vmlinux' failed, see the
output of 'perf test -v vmlinux' to see cases where the symbols picked
as best for vmlinux don't match the ones picked for kallsyms.

commit f47822078dece7189cad0a5f472f148e5e916736 upstream.

On some architectures (powerpc in particular), the number of registers
exceeds what can be represented in an integer bitmask. Ensure we
generate the proper bitmask on such platforms.

commit f594bae08183fb6b57db55387794ece3e1edf6f6 upstream.

I'm surprised this remained undocumented since at least 2011. And it is
actually a very useful switch, as Steve and I came to realize recently.

Add the text from

  2cba3ffb9a9d ("perf stat: Add -d -d and -d -d -d options to show more CPU events")

which added the incrementing aspect to -d.

<title>perf tools: Dont stop PMU parsing on alias parse error</title>

commit 940db6dcd3f4659303fdf6befe7416adc4d24118 upstream.

When an error happens during alias parsing currently the complete
parsing of all attributes of the PMU is stopped. This is breaks old perf
on a newer kernel that may have not-yet-know alias attributes (such as
.scale or .per-pkg).

Continue when some attribute is unparseable.

This is IMHO a stable candidate and should be backported to older
versions to avoid problems with newer kernels.

v2: Print warnings when something goes wrong.
v3: Change warning to debug output

commit 89fee59b504f86925894fcc9ba79d5c933842f93 upstream.

Steam frequently puts game binaries in folders with spaces.

Note: "(deleted)" markers are now treated as part of the file name.
