Pull scheduler changes from Ingo Molnar:
"The biggest change is the cleanup/simplification of the load-balancer:
instead of the current practice of architectures twiddling scheduler
internal data structures and providing the scheduler domains in
colorfully inconsistent ways, we now have generic scheduler code in
kernel/sched/core.c:sched_init_numa() that looks at the architecture's
node_distance() parameters and (while not fully trusting it) deducts a
NUMA topology from it.This inevitably changes balancing behavior - hopefully for the better.
There are various smaller optimizations, cleanups and fixlets as well"

Pull perf changes from Ingo Molnar:
"Lots of changes:- (much) improved assembly annotation support in perf report, with
jump visualization, searching, navigation, visual output
improvements and more.- kernel support for AMD IBS PMU hardware features. Notably 'perf
record -e cycles:p' and 'perf top -e cycles:p' should work without
skid now, like PEBS does on the Intel side, because it takes
advantage of IBS transparently.- the libtracevents library: it is the first step towards unifying
tracing tooling and perf, and it also gives a tracing library for
external tools like powertop to rely on.- infrastructure: various improvements and refactoring of the UI
modules and related code- infrastructure: cleanup and simplification of the profiling
targets code (--uid, --pid, --tid, --cpu, --all-cpus, etc.)- tons of robustness fixes all around

"Here is the big USB 3.5-rc1 pull request for the 3.5-rc1 merge window.It's touches a lot of different parts of the kernel, all USB drivers,

dropped the obsolete usbfs code, which will make Al happy to never

"While at it I'd also suggest increasing the default sampling frequency,
from 1000 Hz per CPU to at least 4Khz auto-freq or so - this should work
well all across the board I think. CPUs are getting faster and command/app
run times are getting shorter, 1Khz is a bit low IMO."Requested-by: Ingo Molnar

In order for perf buildid-list to work with pipe-mode files, it needs to
process buildids and event attr structs.$ perf record -o - noploop 2 | ./perf inject -b | perf buildid-list -i - -H
noploop for 2 seconds
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.084 MB - (~3678 samples) ]

3a0d0629efe74a8da3eeba372cdbd74ad9b8f5d5 /usr/local/bin/noploopThe reason [kernel.kallsyms] shows a 0 build-id comes from the
way buildids are injected in the stream.The buildid for the kernel is provided by a BUILD_ID record. The
[kernel.kallsyms] is provided by a MMAP record. There is no clean and
obvious way to link the two, unfortunately.In regular mode, the kernel buildid is generated from reading the ELF
image or kallsyms and perf knows to associate [kernel.kallsyms] to it.
Later on, when perf processes the [kernel.kallsyms] MMAP record, it will
already have a dso for it.So for now, make sure perf buildid-list shows the buildids for
everything but the kernel image.Signed-off-by: Stephane Eranian

In __perf_session__process_pipe_events(), there was a risk we would read
more than what a union perf_event struct can hold. this could happen in
case, perf is reading a file which contains new record types it does not
know about and which are larger than anything it knows about.In general, perf is supposed to skip records it does not understand, but
in pipe mode, those have to be read and ignored. The fixed size header
contains the size of the record, but that size may be larger than union
perf_event, yet it was used as the backing to the read in:union perf_event event;
void *p;size = event->header.size;
p = &event;
p += sizeof(struct perf_event_header);
if (size - sizeof(struct perf_event_header)) {
err = readn(self->fd, p, size - sizeof(struct perf_event_header));We fix this by allocating a buffer based on the size reported in the
header. We reuse the buffer as much as we can. We realloc in case it
becomes too small. In the common case, the performance impact is
negligible.Signed-off-by: Stephane Eranian

perf inject -b was broken. It would not inject any build_id into the
stream. Furthermore, it would strip samples from the stream.The reason was a missing initialization of the event attribute
structure. The perf_tool.tool.attr() callback was pointing to a simple
repipe. But there was no initialization of the internal data structures
to keep track of events and event ids. That later caused event id
lookups to fail, and sample would get removed.The patch simply adds back the call to perf_event__process_attr() to
initialize the evlist structure and now build_ids are again injected.Signed-off-by: Stephane Eranian

When the perf data file is read cross architectures, the
perf_event__attr_swap function takes care about endianness of all the
struct fields except the bitfield flags.The bitfield flags need to be transformed as well, since the bitfield
binary storage differs for both endians.ABI says:
Bit-fields are allocated from right to left (least to most significant)
on little-endian implementations and from left to right (most to least
significant) on big-endian implementations.The above seems to be byte specific, so we need to reverse each byte of
the bitfield. 'Internet' also says this might be implementation specific
and we probably need proper fix and carry perf_event_attr bitfield flags
in separate data file FEAT_ section. Thought this seems to work for now.Note, running following to test perf endianity handling:
test 1)
- origin system:
# perf record -a -- sleep 10 (any perf record will do)
# perf report > report.origin
# perf archive perf.data- copy the perf.data, report.origin and perf.data.tar.bz2
to a target system and run:
# tar xjvf perf.data.tar.bz2 -C ~/.debug
# perf report > report.target
# diff -u report.origin report.target- the diff should produce no output
(besides some white space stuff and possibly different
date/TZ output)test 2)
- origin system:
# perf record -ag -fo /tmp/perf.data -- sleep 1
- mount origin system root to the target system on /mnt/origin
- target system:
# perf script --symfs /mnt/origin -I -i /mnt/origin/tmp/perf.data \
--kallsyms /mnt/origin/proc/kallsyms
- complete perf.data header is displayedSigned-off-by: Jiri Olsa

If the file that OUTPUT_MIN_CONFIG exists then ktest.pl will prompt the
user and ask them if the OUTPUT_MIN_CONFIG should be used as the
starting point for make_min_config instead of MIN_CONFIG.This is usually the case, and to allow the user to do so, which is
helpful if the user is creating different min configs based on tests,
and they know one is a superset of another test, they can set
USE_OUTPUT_MIN_CONFIG to one, which will prevent kest.pl from prompting
to use the OUTPUT_MIN_CONFIG and it will just use it.If USE_OUTPUT_MIN_CONIFG is set to zero, then ktest.pl will continue to
use MIN_CONFIG instead.The default is that USE_OUTPUT_MIN_CONFIG is undefined.

config file that is the minimum needed to boot the target.But when MIN_CONFIG_TYPE is set to 'test', not only must the target
boot, but it must also successfully run the TEST. This allows the
creation of a config file that is the minimum to boot and also
perform ssh to the target, or anything else a developer wants.Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt

Conflicts:
tools/perf/MakefileThis tree from Frederic unifies the perf and trace-cmd trace event format
parsing code into a single library.Powertop and other tools will also be able to make use of it.

764e16a changed perf-record to create events disabled by default and
enable them once perf initializations are done. This setting was dropped
by 0f82ebc. Now perf events are once again generated during perf's
initialization phase (e.g., generating maps).As an example, perf opens a lot of files at startup. Unpatched:
perf record -e syscalls:sys_enter_open -ga -fo /tmp/perf.data -- sleep 1
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.087 MB /tmp/perf.data (~3798 samples) ]Using perf-script to look at the samples shows the perf command generating
563 of the 566 total events.Patched:
perf record -e syscalls:sys_enter_open -ga -fo /tmp/perf.data -- sleep 1
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.028 MB /tmp/perf.data (~1206 samples) ]Using perf-script to look at the samples does not show perf command.

The PRE_BUILD and POST_BUILD options of ktest are added to allow the
user to add temporary patch to the system and remove it on builds. This
is sometimes use to take a change from another git branch and add it to
a series without the fix so that this series can be tested, when an
unrelated bug exists in the series.The problem comes when a tagged commit is being used. For example, if
v3.2 is being tested, and we add a patch to it, the kernelrelease for
that commit will be 3.2.0+, but without the patch the version will be
3.2.0. This can cause problems when the kernelrelease is determined for
creating the /lib/modules directory. The kernel booting has the '+' but
the module directory will not, and the modules will be missing for that
boot, and may not allow the kernel to succeed.The fix is to put the creation of the kernelrelease in the POST_BUILD
logic, before it applies the POST_BUILD operation. The POST_BUILD is
where the patch may be removed, removing the '+' from the kernelrelease.The calculation of the kernelrelease will also stay in its current
location but will be ignored if it was already calculated previously.Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt

Merge reason: We are going to queue up a dependent patch:
"perf tools: Move parse event automated tests to separated object"
That depends on:
commit e7c72d8
perf tools: Add 'G' and 'H' modifiers to event parsingConflicts:
tools/perf/builtin-stat.cConflicted with the recent 'perf_target' patches when checking the
result of perf_evsel open routines to see if a retry is needed to cope
with older kernels where the exclude guest/host perf_event_attr bits
were not used.Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

Introducing type_val and type_term for term instead of a single type
value. Currently the term type marked out the value type as well.With this change we can have future string term values being specified
by user and translated into proper number along the processing.Signed-off-by: Jiri Olsa

The callchain address is stored as u64. Current code uses following
format string to display callchain address:"%p\n", (void *)(long)chain->ip
This way we lose upper 32 bits if we report 64 bit addresses in 32 bit
environment. Fixing this to always display whole 64 bits.Note, running following to test perf endianity handling:
test 1)
- origin system:
# perf record -a -- sleep 10 (any perf record will do)
# perf report > report.origin
# perf archive perf.data- copy the perf.data, report.origin and perf.data.tar.bz2
to a target system and run:
# tar xjvf perf.data.tar.bz2 -C ~/.debug
# perf report > report.target
# diff -u report.origin report.target- the diff should produce no output
(besides some white space stuff and possibly different
date/TZ output)test 2)
- origin system:
# perf record -ag -fo /tmp/perf.data -- sleep 1
- mount origin system root to the target system on /mnt/origin
- target system:
# perf script --symfs /mnt/origin -I -i /mnt/origin/tmp/perf.data \
--kallsyms /mnt/origin/proc/kallsyms
- complete perf.data header is displayedSigned-off-by: Jiri Olsa
