Merge branch 'perf-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

2018-06-24T12:29:15+00:00

Pull perf fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
 "A pile of perf updates:

  Kernel side:

   - Remove an incorrect warning in uprobe_init_insn() when
     insn_get_length() fails. The error return code is handled at the
     call site.

   - Move the inline keyword to the right place in the perf ringbuffer
     code to address a W=1 build warning.

  Tooling:

  perf stat:

   - Fix metric column header display alignment

   - Improve error messages for default attributes, providing better
     output for error in command line.

   - Add --interval-clear option, to provide a 'watch' like printing

  perf script:

   - Show hw-cache events too

  perf c2c:

   - Fix data dependency problem in layout of 'struct c2c_hist_entry'

  Core:

   - Do not blindly assume that 'struct perf_evsel' can be obtained via
     a straight forward container_of() as there are call sites which
     hand in a plain 'struct hist' which is not part of a container.

   - Fix error index in the PMU event parser, so that error messages can
     point to the problematic token"

docs: Fix some broken references

2018-06-15T21:10:01+00:00

As we move stuff around, some doc references are broken. Fix some of
them via this script:
	./scripts/documentation-file-ref-check --fix

Manually checked if the produced result is valid, removing a few
false-positives.

perf script: Show hw-cache events

2018-06-08T16:41:30+00:00

'perf script' fails to report hardware cache events (PERF_TYPE_HW_CACHE)
where as 'perf report' shows the samples. Fix it. Ex,

  # perf record -e L1-dcache-loads ./a.out
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.008 MB perf.data (11 samples)]

Before patch:

  # perf script | wc -l
  0

After patch:

  # perf script | wc -l
  11

perf c2c: Keep struct hist_entry at the end of struct c2c_hist_entry

2018-06-08T16:35:53+00:00

Exactly as the comment just before 'struct c2c_hist_entry" says, i.e.
the last entry in struct hist_entry is a zero length array, that when
allocating space for hist_entry gets extra space if callchains are in
use, which, if hist_entry is not at the end of c2c_hist_entry, the
members after it gets corrupted when callchains get added to the rb
trees collecting them, etc.

perf stat: Add event parsing error handling to add_default_attributes

2018-06-07T19:03:21+00:00

Add missing error handling for parse_events calls in add_default_attributes
functions. The error handler displays error details, like for transactions (-T):

Before:
  $ perf stat -T
  Cannot set up transaction events

After:
  $ perf stat -T
  Cannot set up transaction events
  event syntax error: '..cycles,cpu/cycles-t/,cpu/tx-start/,cpu/el-start/,cpu/cycles-ct/}'

perf stat: Allow to specify specific metric column len

2018-06-07T19:01:44+00:00

The following change will introduce new metrics, that doesn't need such
wide hard coded spacing. Switch METRIC_ONLY_LEN macro usage with
metric_only_len variable.

Adding --interval-clear option to clear the screen before next interval.

perf tools: Fix error index for pmu event parser

2018-06-07T18:50:14+00:00

For events we provide specific error message we need to set error column
index, PMU parser is missing that, adding it.

Before:

  $ perf stat -e cycles,krava/cycles/ kill
  event syntax error: 'cycles,krava/cycles/'
                       \___ Cannot find PMU `krava'. Missing kernel support?

After:

  $ perf stat -e cycles,krava/cycles/ kill
