Pull perf/core improvements and fixes from Arnaldo:

kernel:

  Stephane Eranian :

  - Restore mmap record type correctly when handling PERF_RECORD_MMAP2
    events, as the same template is used for all the threads interested
    in mmap events, some may want just PERF_RECORD_MMAP, while some
    may want the extra info in MMAP2 records.

perf probe:

  Adrian Hunter:

  - Fix getting the kernel map, because since changes related to x86 PTI
    entry trampolines handling, there are more than one kernel map.

perf script:

  Andi Kleen:

  - Support insn output for normal samples, i.e.:

    perf script -F ip,sym,insn --xed

    Will fetch the sample IP from the thread address space and feed it
    to Intel's XED disassembler, producing lines such as:

      ffffffffa4068804 native_write_msr            wrmsr
      ffffffffa415b95e __hrtimer_next_event_base   movq  0x18(%rax), %rdx

    That match 'perf annotate's output.

  - Make the --cpu filter apply to  PERF_RECORD_COMM/FORK/... events, in
    addition to PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE.

perf report:

  - Add a new --samples option to save a small random number of samples
    per hist entry, using a reservoir technique to select a representative
    number of samples.

    Then allow browsing the samples using 'perf script' as part of the hist
    entry context menu. This automatically adds the right filters, so only
    the thread or CPU of the sample is displayed. Then we use less' search
    functionality to directly jump to the time stamp of the selected sample.

    It uses different menus for assembler and source display.  Assembler
    needs xed installed and source needs debuginfo.

  - Fix the UI browser scripts pop up menu when there are many scripts
    available.

perf report:

  Andi Kleen:

  - Add 'time' sort option. E.g.:

    % perf report --sort time,overhead,symbol --time-quantum 1ms --stdio
    ...

tools headers:

  Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:

  - Update x86's syscall_64.tbl, no change in tools/perf behaviour.

  -  Sync copies asm-generic/unistd.h and linux/in with the kernel sources.

perf data:

  Jiri Olsa:

  - Prep work to support having perf.data stored as a directory, with one
    file per CPU, that ultimately will allow having one ring buffer reading
    thread per CPU.

Vendor events:

  Martin Liška:

  - perf PMU events for AMD Family 17h.

perf script python:

  Tony Jones:

  - Add python3 support for the remaining Intel PT related scripts, with
    these we should have a clean build of perf with python3 while still
    supporting the build with python2.

libbpf:

  Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:

  - Fix the build on uCLibc, adding the missing stdarg.h since we use
    va_list in one typedef.

Pull perf updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "Lots of tooling updates - too many to list, here's a few highlights:

   - Various subcommand updates to 'perf trace', 'perf report', 'perf
     record', 'perf annotate', 'perf script', 'perf test', etc.

   - CPU and NUMA topology and affinity handling improvements,

   - HW tracing and HW support updates:
      - Intel PT updates
      - ARM CoreSight updates
      - vendor HW event updates

   - BPF updates

   - Tons of infrastructure updates, both on the build system and the
     library support side

   - ... and lots of other changes, see the changelog for details.

  Kernel side updates:

   - Tighten up kprobes blacklist handling, reduce the number of places
     where developers can install a kprobe and hang/crash the system.

   - Fix/enhance vma address filter handling.

   - Various PMU driver updates, small fixes and additions.

   - refcount_t conversions

   - BPF updates

Pull x86/pti update from Thomas Gleixner:
 "Just a single change from the anti-performance departement:

   - Add a new PR_SPEC_DISABLE_NOEXEC option which allows to apply the
     speculation protections on a process without inheriting the state
     on exec.

     This remedies a situation where a Java-launcher has speculation
     protections enabled because that's the default for JVMs which
     causes the launched regular harmless processes to inherit the
     protection state which results in unintended performance
     degradation"

<title>libbpf: add support for using AF_XDP sockets</title>
<updated>2019-02-25T22:21:42+00:00</updated>

<id>1cad078842396f0047a796694b6130fc096d97e2</id>
<content type='text'>
This commit adds AF_XDP support to libbpf. The main reason for this is
to facilitate writing applications that use AF_XDP by offering
higher-level APIs that hide many of the details of the AF_XDP
uapi. This is in the same vein as libbpf facilitates XDP adoption by
offering easy-to-use higher level interfaces of XDP
functionality. Hopefully this will facilitate adoption of AF_XDP, make
applications using it simpler and smaller, and finally also make it
possible for applications to benefit from optimizations in the AF_XDP
user space access code. Previously, people just copied and pasted the
code from the sample application into their application, which is not
desirable.

The interface is composed of two parts:

* Low-level access interface to the four rings and the packet
* High-level control plane interface for creating and setting
  up umems and af_xdp sockets as well as a simple XDP program.
