perf stat: Document --detailed option

2016-04-30T22:05:54+00:00

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.

perf tools: Dont stop PMU parsing on alias parse error

2016-04-30T22:05:49+00:00

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.

perf tools: handle spaces in file names obtained from /proc/pid/maps

2016-04-30T22:05:46+00:00

commit 89fee59b504f86925894fcc9ba79d5c933842f93 upstream.

Steam frequently puts game binaries in folders with spaces.

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

perf pmu: Fix misleadingly indented assignment (whitespace)

2016-04-30T22:05:44+00:00

commit d85ce830eef6c10d1e9617172dea4681f02b8424 upstream.

One line in perf_pmu__parse_unit() is indented wrongly, leading to a
warning (=> error) from gcc 6:

  util/pmu.c:156:3: error: statement is indented as if it were guarded by... [-Werror=misleading-indentation]

    sret = read(fd, alias->unit, UNIT_MAX_LEN);

efi: Make efivarfs entries immutable by default

2016-03-24T10:01:20+00:00

commit ed8b0de5a33d2a2557dce7f9429dca8cb5bc5879 upstream.

"rm -rf" is bricking some peoples' laptops because of variables being
used to store non-reinitializable firmware driver data that's required
to POST the hardware.

These are 100% bugs, and they need to be fixed, but in the mean time it
shouldn't be easy to *accidentally* brick machines.

We have to have delete working, and picking which variables do and don't
work for deletion is quite intractable, so instead make everything
immutable by default (except for a whitelist), and make tools that
aren't quite so broad-spectrum unset the immutable flag.

tools lib traceevent: Fix output of %llu for 64 bit values read on 32 bit machines

2016-02-02T17:29:13+00:00

commit 32abc2ede536aae52978d6c0a8944eb1df14f460 upstream.

When a long value is read on 32 bit machines for 64 bit output, the
parsing needs to change "%lu" into "%llu", as the value is read
natively.

Unfortunately, if "%llu" is already there, the code will add another "l"
to it and fail to parse it properly.
