 "It contains three cherry-picked fixes from perf/core, which turned out
  to be more urgent than we originally thought."

perf tools: Handle kernels that don't support attr.exclude_{guest,host}

2012-03-03T15:19:56+00:00

Just fall back to resetting those fields, if set, warning the user that
that feature is not available.

If guest samples appear they will just be discarded because no struct
machine will be found and thus the event will be accounted as not
handled and dropped, see 0c09571.

perf tools: Change perf_guest default back to false

2012-03-03T15:13:41+00:00

Setting perf_guest to true by default makes no sense because the perf
subcommands can not setup guest symbol information and thus not process
and guest samples. The only exception is perf-kvm which changes the
perf_guest value on its own.  So change the default for perf_guest back
to false.

perf record: No build id option fails

2012-03-03T14:02:16+00:00

A recent refactoring of perf-record introduced the following:

perf record -a -B
Couldn't generating buildids. Use --no-buildid to profile anyway.
sleep: Terminated

I believe the triple negative was meant to be only a double negative.
:-) While I'm there, fixed the grammar on the error message.

perf probe: Ensure offset provided is not greater than function length without DWARF info too

2012-02-29T21:29:46+00:00

The 'perf probe' command allows kprobe to be inserted at any offset from
a function start, which results in adding kprobes to unintended
location.  (example: perf probe do_fork+10000 is allowed even though
size of do_fork is ~904).

My previous patch https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/2/24/42 addressed the case
where DWARF info was available for the kernel. This patch fixes the
case where perf probe is used on a kernel without debuginfo available.

perf tools: Ensure comm string is properly terminated

2012-02-29T21:29:45+00:00

If threads in a multi-threaded process have names shorter than the main
thread the comm for the named threads is not properly terminated.

E.g., for the process 'namedthreads' where each thread is named noploop%d
where %d is the thread number:

Before:
    perf script -f comm,tid,ip,sym,dso
    noploop:4ads 21616  400a49 noploop (/tmp/namedthreads)
The 'ads' in the thread comm bleeds over from the process name.

After:
    perf script -f comm,tid,ip,sym,dso
       noploop:4 21616  400a49 noploop (/tmp/namedthreads)

perf probe: Ensure offset provided is not greater than function length

2012-02-29T21:29:45+00:00

The perf probe command allows kprobe to be inserted at any offset from a
function start, which results in adding kprobes to unintended location.

Example: perf probe do_fork+10000 is allowed even though size of do_fork
is ~904.

This patch will ensure probe addition fails when the offset specified is
greater than size of the function.

perf evlist: Return first evsel for non-sample event on old kernel

2012-02-29T21:29:44+00:00

On old kernels that don't support sample_id_all feature,
perf_evlist__id2evsel() returns NULL for non-sampling events.

This breaks perf top when multiple events are given on command line. Fix
it by using first evsel in the evlist. This will also prevent getting
the same (potential) problem in such new tool/ old kernel combo.

Merge tag 'ktest-fix-make-min-failed-build-for-real' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-ktest

2012-02-27T23:43:05+00:00

While demoing ktest at ELC in 2012, it was embarrassing that the
make_min_config test failed to work because the snowball board I was
testing it against had a config that would not build.  But the
make_min_config only tested the testing part and ignored build failures.
The end result was a config file that would not boot.

This time, for real.
