Pull perf fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
 "This is much bigger than typical fixes, but Peter found a category of
  races that spurred more fixes and more debugging enhancements.  Work
  started before the merge window, but got finished only now.

  Aside of that this contains the usual small fixes to perf and tools.
  Nothing particular exciting"

perf stat: Do not clean event's private stats

2016-01-26T14:15:11+00:00

Mel reported stddev reporting was broken due to following commit:

	106a94a0f8c2 ("perf stat: Introduce read_counters function")

This commit merged interval and overall counters reading into single
read_counters function.

The old interval code cleaned the stddev data for some reason (it's
never displayed in interval mode) and the mentioned commit kept on
cleaning the stddev data in merged function, which resulted in the
stddev not being displayed.

Removing the wrong stddev data cleanup init_stats call.

Pull rdma updates from Doug Ledford:
 "Initial roundup of 4.5 merge window patches

   - Remove usage of ib_query_device and instead store attributes in
     ib_device struct

perf symbols: Fix reading of build-id from vDSO

2016-01-15T19:31:58+00:00

We need to use the long name (the filename) when reading the build-id
from a DSO.  Using the short name doesn't work for (at least) vDSOs.

perf kvm record/report: 'unprocessable sample' error while recording/reporting guest data

2016-01-15T19:31:58+00:00

While recording guest samples in host using perf kvm record, it will
populate unprocessable sample error, though samples will be recorded
properly. While generating report using perf kvm report, no samples will
be processed and same error will populate. We have seen this behaviour
with upstream perf(4.4-rc3) on x86 and ppc64 hardware.

Reason behind this failure is, when it tries to fetch machine from
rb_tree of machines, it fails. As a part of tracing a bug, we figured
out that this code was incorrectly refactored in commit 54245fdc3576
("perf session: Remove wrappers to machines__find").

This patch will change the functionality such that if it can't fetch
machine in first trial, it will create one node of machine and add that to
rb_tree. So next time when it tries to fetch same machine from rb_tree,
it won't fail. Actually it was the case before refactoring of code in
aforementioned commit.

This patch is generated from acme perf/core branch.

Below I've mention an example that demonstrate the behaviour before and
after applying patch.

Before applying patch:
[Note: One needs to run guest before recording data in host]

  ravi@ravi-bangoria:~$ ./perf kvm record -a

perf tools: Add file_only config option to strlist

2016-01-12T15:42:07+00:00

If strlist_config.dirname is present, the strlist__new() tries to load
stirngs from dirname/list file first but if it failes it falls back to
add 'list' as string.  But sometimes it's not desired so adds new
file_only field to prevent it.

perf tools: Fix mmap2 event allocation in synthesize code

2016-01-12T14:24:43+00:00

perf_event__synthesize_mmap_events() issues mmap2 events, but the memory
of that event is allocated using:

 mmap_event = malloc(sizeof(mmap_event->mmap) + machine->id_hdr_size);

If path of mmap source file is long (near PATH_MAX), random crash would
happen. Should use sizeof(mmap_event->mmap2).

Fix two memory allocations.
