Pull ktest confusion fix from Steven Rostedt: "With the v3.7-rc2 kernel, the network cards on my target boxes were not being brought up. I found that the modules for the network was not being installed. This was due to the config CONFIG_MODULES_USE_ELF_RELA that came before CONFIG_MODULES, and confused ktest in thinking that CONFIG_MODULES=y was not found. Ktest needs to test all configs and not just stop if something starts with CONFIG_MODULES." * tag 'ktest-v3.7-rc2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-ktest: ktest: Fix ktest confusion with CONFIG_MODULES_USE_ELF_RELA

Pull perf fixes from Ingo Molnar: "Most of the kernel diffstat relates to a group of Intel P6 and KNC (Xeon-Phi Knights Corner) PMU driver fixes, neither of which is in heavy use, so we took the fixes.

ktest: Fix ktest confusion with CONFIG_MODULES_USE_ELF_RELA

2012-10-26T04:10:32Z

In order to decide if ktest should bother installing modules on the target box, it checks if the config file has CONFIG_MODULES=y. But it also checks if the '=y' part exists. It only will install modules if the config exists and is set with '=y'. But as the regex that was used tests: /^CONFIG_MODULES(=y)?/ this will also match: CONFIG_MODULES_USE_ELF_RELA as the '=y' part was optional and it did not test the rest of the line. When this happens, ktest will stop checking the rest of the configs but it will also think that no modules are needed to be installed. What it should do is only jump out of the loop if it actually found a CONFIG_MODULES that is set to true. Otherwise, ktest wont install the necessary modules needed for proper booting of the test target. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt

tools/testing/selftests/epoll/test_epoll.c: fix build

2012-10-25T21:37:53Z

Latest Linus head run of "make selftests" in the tools directory failed with references to undefined variables. Reference was to 'write_thread_data' which is the name of a struct that is being used, not the variable itself. Change reference so it points to the variable.

perf tools: do not flush maps on COMM for perf report

2012-10-22T15:55:53Z

This fixes a long-standing bug caused by the lack of separate COMM and EXEC record types, which makes "perf report" lose track of symbols when a process renames itself. With this fix (suggested by Stephane Eranian), a COMM (rename) no longer flushes the maps, which is the correct behavior. An EXEC also no longer flushes the maps, but this doesn't matter because as new mappings are created (for the executable and the libraries) the old mappings are automatically removed. This is not by accident: the functionality is necessary because DLLs can be explicitly loaded at any time with dlopen(), possibly on top of existing text, so "perf report" handles correctly the clobbering of new mappings on top of old ones. An alternative patch (which I proposed earlier) would be to introduce a separate PERF_RECORD_EXEC type, but it is a much larger change (about 300 lines) and is not necessary.

perf help: Fix --help for builtins

2012-10-22T14:35:49Z

It seems that commit cc5848213329 ("perf help: Remove use of die and handle errors") caused the problem - it changed the initial value of 'help_format' from HELP_FORMAT_MAN to HELP_FORMAT_NONE. This broke the --help option for all builtins, that would produce no output, while 'man perf-top' would work it MANPATH is properly setup.

perf trace: Check if sample raw_data field is set

2012-10-22T01:07:36Z

Sometimes we're segfaulting because we were expecting that the perf_sample.raw_data field was set as requested, but in some cases that needs further investigation, that field can be NULL, leading to segfaults. Make the tool more robust by checking that before calling any per event handlers that may try to use that field.

perf trace: Validate syscall id before growing syscall table

2012-10-22T01:07:36Z

In some cases the ID for a syscall read thru the raw_syscalls tracepoint is bogus, still needs to be investigated why, but to make the tool more robust first try to resolve the ID to a name via libaudit and if it fails, don't grow the table.
