Pull perf updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "This tree includes an x86 PMU scheduling fix, but most changes are
  late breaking tooling fixes and updates:

  User visible fixes:

   - Create config.detected into OUTPUT directory, fixing parallel
     builds sharing the same source directory (Aaro Kiskinen)

   - Allow to specify custom linker command, fixing some MIPS64 builds.
     (Aaro Kiskinen)

   - Fix to show proper convergence stats in 'perf bench numa' (Srikar
     Dronamraju)

  User visible changes:

   - Validate syscall list passed via -e argument to 'perf trace'.
     (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

   - Introduce 'perf stat --per-thread' (Jiri Olsa)

   - Check access permission for --kallsyms and --vmlinux (Li Zhang)

   - Move toggling event logic from 'perf top' and into hists browser,
     allowing freeze/unfreeze with event lists with more than one entry
     (Namhyung Kim)

   - Add missing newlines when dumping PERF_RECORD_FINISHED_ROUND and
     showing the Aggregated stats in 'perf report -D' (Adrian Hunter)

  Infrastructure fixes:

   - Add missing break for PERF_RECORD_ITRACE_START, which caused those
     events samples to be parsed as well as PERF_RECORD_LOST_SAMPLES.
     ITRACE_START only appears when Intel PT or BTS are present, so..
     (Jiri Olsa)

   - Call the perf_session destructor when bailing out in the inject,
     kmem, report, kvm and mem tools (Taeung Song)

  Infrastructure changes:

   - Move stuff out of 'perf stat' and into the lib for further use
     (Jiri Olsa)

   - Reference count the cpu_map and thread_map classes (Jiri Olsa)

   - Set evsel->{cpus,threads} from the evlist, if not set, allowing the
     generalization of some 'perf stat' functions that previously were
     accessing private static evlist variable (Jiri Olsa)

   - Delete an unnecessary check before the calling free_event_desc()
     (Markus Elfring)

   - Allow auxtrace data alignment (Adrian Hunter)

   - Allow events with dot (Andi Kleen)

   - Fix failure to 'perf probe' events on arm (He Kuang)

   - Add testing for Makefile.perf (Jiri Olsa)

   - Add test for make install with prefix (Jiri Olsa)

   - Fix single target build dependency check (Jiri Olsa)

   - Access thread_map entries via accessors, prep patch to hold more
     info per entry, for ongoing 'perf stat --per-thread' work (Jiri
     Olsa)

   - Use __weak definition from compiler.h (Sukadev Bhattiprolu)

   - Split perf_pmu__new_alias() (Sukadev Bhattiprolu)"

perf tools: Allow to specify custom linker command

2015-07-01T20:53:50+00:00

Allow to specify custom linker command. This fixes MIPS64 builds for
64-bit userspace as it will allow to pass a linker using the correct
linker flags for 64-bit ABI (by default GNU binutils ld will assume
N32).

perf tools: Create config.detected into OUTPUT directory

Create config.detected into OUTPUT directory instead of source
directory.

This fixes parallel builds that share the same source directory.

perf mem: Fill in the missing session freeing after an error occurs

2015-07-01T20:53:49+00:00

When an error occurs an error value is just returned without freeing the
session. So allocating and freeing session have to be matched as a pair
even if an error occurs.

Merge tag 'trace-v4.2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace

2015-06-26T21:02:43+00:00

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
 "This patch series contains several clean ups and even a new trace
  clock "monitonic raw".  Also some enhancements to make the ring buffer
  even faster.  But the biggest and most noticeable change is the
  renaming of the ftrace* files, structures and variables that have to
  deal with trace events.

  Over the years I've had several developers tell me about their
  confusion with what ftrace is compared to events.  Technically,
  "ftrace" is the infrastructure to do the function hooks, which include
  tracing and also helps with live kernel patching.  But the trace
  events are a separate entity altogether, and the files that affect the
  trace events should not be named "ftrace".  These include:

    include/trace/ftrace.h         ->    include/trace/trace_events.h
    include/linux/ftrace_event.h   ->    include/linux/trace_events.h

  Also, functions that are specific for trace events have also been renamed:

    ftrace_print_*()               ->    trace_print_*()
    (un)register_ftrace_event()    ->    (un)register_trace_event()
    ftrace_event_name()            ->    trace_event_name()
    ftrace_trigger_soft_disabled() ->    trace_trigger_soft_disabled()
    ftrace_define_fields_##call()  ->    trace_define_fields_##call()
    ftrace_get_offsets_##call()    ->    trace_get_offsets_##call()

  Structures have been renamed:

    ftrace_event_file              ->    trace_event_file
    ftrace_event_{call,class}      ->    trace_event_{call,class}
    ftrace_event_buffer            ->    trace_event_buffer
    ftrace_subsystem_dir           ->    trace_subsystem_dir
    ftrace_event_raw_##call        ->    trace_event_raw_##call
    ftrace_event_data_offset_##call->    trace_event_data_offset_##call
    ftrace_event_type_funcs_##call ->    trace_event_type_funcs_##call

  And a few various variables and flags have also been updated.

  This has been sitting in linux-next for some time, and I have not
  heard a single complaint about this rename breaking anything.  Mostly
  because these functions, variables and structures are mostly internal
  to the tracing system and are seldom (if ever) used by anything
  external to that"
