tools lib string: Adopt prefixcmp() from perf and subcmd

2017-04-26T18:49:21+00:00

Both had copies originating from git.git, move those to
tools/lib/string.c, getting both tools/lib/subcmd/ and tools/perf/ to
use it.

tools include: Drop ARRAY_SIZE() definition from linux/hashtable.h

2017-04-19T16:01:45+00:00

As tools/include/linux/kernel.h has it now, with the goodies present in
the kernel.h counterpart, i.e. checking that the parameter is an array
at build time.

tools include: Move ARRAY_SIZE() to linux/kernel.h

2017-04-19T16:01:43+00:00

To match the kernel, then look for places redefining it to make it use
this version, which checks that its parameter is an array at build time.

tools include: Adopt __same_type() and __must_be_array() from the kernel

2017-04-19T16:01:42+00:00

Will be used to adopt the more stringent version of ARRAY_SIZE(), the
one in the kernel sources.

2017-04-19T16:01:42+00:00

With just what we will need in the upcoming changesets, the
BUILD_BUG_ON_ZERO() definition.

bpf: add various verifier test cases for self-tests

2017-04-01T19:36:37+00:00

Add a couple of test cases, for example, probing for xadd on a spilled
pointer to packet and map_value_adj register, various other map_value_adj
tests including the unaligned load/store, and trying out pointer arithmetic
on map_value_adj register itself. For the unaligned load/store, we need
to figure out whether the architecture has efficient unaligned access and
need to mark affected tests accordingly.

Merge tag 'perf-core-for-mingo-4.11-20170306' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/acme/linux into perf/core

2017-03-07T07:14:14+00:00

Pull perf/core improvements and fixes from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:

New features:

- Allow sorting by symbol_size in 'perf report' and 'perf top' (Charles Baylis)

  E.g.:

  # perf report -s symbol_size,symbol

  Samples: 9K of event 'cycles:k', Event count (approx.): 2870461623
  Overhead  Symbol size  Symbol
    14.55%          326  [k] flush_tlb_mm_range
     7.20%         1045  [k] filemap_map_pages
     5.82%          124  [k] vma_interval_tree_insert
     5.18%         2430  [k] unmap_page_range
     2.57%          571  [k] vma_interval_tree_remove
     1.94%          494  [k] page_add_file_rmap
     1.82%          740  [k] page_remove_rmap
     1.66%         1017  [k] release_pages
     1.57%         1636  [k] update_blocked_averages
     1.57%           76  [k] unlock_page

- Add support for -p/--pid, -a/--all-cpus and -C/--cpu in 'perf ftrace' (Namhyung Kim)

Change in behaviour:

- 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)

Fixes:

- Add missing initialization to the instruction decoder used in the
  intel PT/BTS code, which was causing lots of failures in 'perf test',
  looking for a value when there was none (Adrian Hunter)

Infrastructure changes:

- Add arch code needed to adopt the kernel's refcount_t to aid in
  catching bugs when using atomic_t as a reference counter, basically
  cmpxchg related functions (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

- Convert the code using atomic_t as reference counts to refcount_t
  (Elena Rashetova)

- Add feature test for sched_getcpu() to more easily check for its
  presence in the many libc implementations and accross different
  versions of such C libraries (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

- Issue a HW watchdog disable hint in 'perf stat' for when some of the
  requested events can't get counted because a PMU counter is taken by that
  watchdog (Borislav Petkov).

- Add mapping for Intel's KnightsMill PMU events (Karol Wachowski)

Documentation changes:

- Clarify the term 'convergence' in:

   perf bench numa numa-mem -h --show_convergence (Jiri Olsa)

Kernel code changes:

- Ensure probe location is at function entry in kretprobes (Naveen N. Rao)

- Allow return probes with offsets and absolute addresses (Naveen N. Rao)
