commit 75e84ab906ef8935cff3df3d8929f1bafea81599 upstream.

Invoking Makefile.perf with prefix= breaks the build since Makefile.perf
hands that variable down to Makefile.build where it overrides

    prefix       := $(subst ./,,$(OUTPUT)$(dir)/)

leading to errors like this:

    No rule to make target '/usrabspath.o', needed by '/usrlibperf-in.o'

Test a couple of special cases in 32-bit kernels for entries
from vm86 mode.  This will OOPS both old kernels due to a bug
and and 4.1-rc5 due to a regression I introduced, and it should
make sure that the SYSENTER-from-vm86-mode hack in the kernel
keeps working.

Linux-3.7 added CONFIG_BOOTPARAM_HOTPLUG_CPU0,
allowing systems to offline cpu0.

But when cpu0 is offline, turbostat will not run:

 # turbostat ls
turbostat: no /dev/cpu/0/msr

This patch replaces the hard-coded use of cpu0 in turbostat
with the current cpu, allowing it to run without a cpu0.

Fewer cross-calls may also be needed due to use of current cpu,
though this hard-coding was used only for the --debug preamble.

When EPB is 0xF, turbosat was incorrectly describing it as "custom"
instead of calling it "powersave":

&lt; cpu0: MSR_IA32_ENERGY_PERF_BIAS: 0x0000000f (custom)

Changes mainly to account for minor differences in Knights Landing(KNL):
1. KNL supports C1 and C6 core states.
2. KNL supports PC2, PC3 and PC6 package states.
3. KNL has a different encoding of the TURBO_RATIO_LIMIT MSR

Without this update, turbostat displays only 2 threads per core.
Some processors, such as Xeon Phi, have more.

<title>tools: bpf_jit_disasm: fix segfault on disabled debugging log output</title>

<content type='text'>
With recent debugging, I noticed that bpf_jit_disasm segfaults when
there's no debugging output from the JIT compiler to the kernel log.

Reason is that when regexec(3) doesn't match on anything, start/end
offsets are not being filled out and contain some uninitialized garbage
from stack. Thus, we need zero out offsets first.
