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

Pull perf updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "Main kernel side changes:

   - Big reorganization of the x86 perf support code.  The old code grew
     organically deep inside arch/x86/kernel/cpu/perf* and its naming
     became somewhat messy.

     The new location is under arch/x86/events/, using the following
     cleaner hierarchy of source code files:

       perf/x86: Move perf_event.c .................. => x86/events/core.c
       perf/x86: Move perf_event_amd.c .............. => x86/events/amd/core.c
       perf/x86: Move perf_event_amd_ibs.c .......... => x86/events/amd/ibs.c
       perf/x86: Move perf_event_amd_iommu.[ch] ..... => x86/events/amd/iommu.[ch]
       perf/x86: Move perf_event_amd_uncore.c ....... => x86/events/amd/uncore.c
       perf/x86: Move perf_event_intel_bts.c ........ => x86/events/intel/bts.c
       perf/x86: Move perf_event_intel.c ............ => x86/events/intel/core.c

       perf/x86: Move perf_event_intel_cstate.c ..... => x86/events/intel/cstate.c
       perf/x86: Move perf_event_intel_ds.c ......... => x86/events/intel/ds.c
       perf/x86: Move perf_event_intel_lbr.c ........ => x86/events/intel/lbr.c
       perf/x86: Move perf_event_intel_pt.[ch] ...... => x86/events/intel/pt.[ch]
       perf/x86: Move perf_event_intel_rapl.c ....... => x86/events/intel/rapl.c
       perf/x86: Move perf_event_intel_uncore.[ch] .. => x86/events/intel/uncore.[ch]
       perf/x86: Move perf_event_intel_uncore_nhmex.c => x86/events/intel/uncore_nmhex.c

     (Borislav Petkov)

   - Update various x86 PMU constraint and hw support details (Stephane
     Eranian)

   - Optimize kprobes for BPF execution (Martin KaFai Lau)

   - Rewrite, refactor and fix the Intel uncore PMU driver code (Thomas
     Gleixner)

   - Rewrite, refactor and fix the Intel RAPL PMU code (Thomas Gleixner)

   - Various fixes and smaller cleanups.

  There are lots of perf tooling updates as well.  A few highlights:

  perf report/top:

     - Hierarchy histogram mode for 'perf top' and 'perf report',
       showing multiple levels, one per --sort entry: (Namhyung Kim)

       On a mostly idle system:

         # perf top --hierarchy -s comm,dso

       Then expand some levels and use 'P' to take a snapshot:

         # cat perf.hist.0
         -  92.32%         perf
               58.20%         perf
               22.29%         libc-2.22.so
                5.97%         [kernel]
                4.18%         libelf-0.165.so
                1.69%         [unknown]
         -   4.71%         qemu-system-x86
                3.10%         [kernel]
                1.60%         qemu-system-x86_64 (deleted)
         +   2.97%         swapper
         #

     - Add 'L' hotkey to dynamicly set the percent threshold for
       histogram entries and callchains, i.e.  dynamicly do what the
       --percent-limit command line option to 'top' and 'report' does.
       (Namhyung Kim)

  perf mem:

     - Allow specifying events via -e in 'perf mem record', also listing
       what events can be specified via 'perf mem record -e list' (Jiri
       Olsa)

  perf record:

     - Add 'perf record' --all-user/--all-kernel options, so that one
       can tell that all the events in the command line should be
       restricted to the user or kernel levels (Jiri Olsa), i.e.:

         perf record -e cycles:u,instructions:u

       is equivalent to:

         perf record --all-user -e cycles,instructions

     - Make 'perf record' collect CPU cache info in the perf.data file header:

         $ perf record usleep 1
         [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
         [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.017 MB perf.data (7 samples) ]
         $ perf report --header-only -I | tail -10 | head -8
         # CPU cache info:
         #  L1 Data                 32K [0-1]
         #  L1 Instruction          32K [0-1]
         #  L1 Data                 32K [2-3]
         #  L1 Instruction          32K [2-3]
         #  L2 Unified             256K [0-1]
         #  L2 Unified             256K [2-3]
         #  L3 Unified            4096K [0-3]

       Will be used in 'perf c2c' and eventually in 'perf diff' to
       allow, for instance running the same workload in multiple
       machines and then when using 'diff' show the hardware difference.
       (Jiri Olsa)

     - Improved support for Java, using the JVMTI agent library to do
       jitdumps that then will be inserted in synthesized
       PERF_RECORD_MMAP2 events via 'perf inject' pointed to synthesized
       ELF files stored in ~/.debug and keyed with build-ids, to allow
       symbol resolution and even annotation with source line info, see
       the changeset comments to see how to use it (Stephane Eranian)

  perf script/trace:

     - Decode data_src values (e.g.  perf.data files generated by 'perf
       mem record') in 'perf script': (Jiri Olsa)

         # perf script
           perf 693 [1] 4.088652: 1 cpu/mem-loads,ldlat=30/P: ffff88007d0b0f40 68100142 L1 hit|SNP None|TLB L1 or L2 hit|LCK No <SNIP>
                                                                              ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
     - Improve support to 'data_src', 'weight' and 'addr' fields in
       'perf script' (Jiri Olsa)

     - Handle empty print fmts in 'perf script -s' i.e. when running
       python or perl scripts (Taeung Song)

  perf stat:

     - 'perf stat' now shows shadow metrics (insn per cycle, etc) in
       interval mode too.  E.g:

         # perf stat -I 1000 -e instructions,cycles sleep 1
         #         time   counts unit events
            1.000215928  519,620      instructions     #  0.69 insn per cycle
            1.000215928  752,003      cycles
         <SNIP>

     - Port 'perf kvm stat' to PowerPC (Hemant Kumar)

     - Implement CSV metrics output in 'perf stat' (Andi Kleen)

  perf BPF support:

     - Support converting data from bpf events in 'perf data' (Wang Nan)

     - Print bpf-output events in 'perf script': (Wang Nan).

         # perf record -e bpf-output/no-inherit,name=evt/ -e ./test_bpf_output_3.c/map:channel.event=evt/ usleep 1000
         # perf script
            usleep  4882 21384.532523:   evt:  ffffffff810e97d1 sys_nanosleep ([kernel.kallsyms])
             BPF output: 0000: 52 61 69 73 65 20 61 20  Raise a
                         0008: 42 50 46 20 65 76 65 6e  BPF even
                         0010: 74 21 00 00              t!..
             BPF string: "Raise a BPF event!"
         #

     - Add API to set values of map entries in a BPF object, be it
       individual map slots or ranges (Wang Nan)

     - Introduce support for the 'bpf-output' event (Wang Nan)

     - Add glue to read perf events in a BPF program (Wang Nan)

     - Improve support for bpf-output events in 'perf trace' (Wang Nan)

  ... and tons of other changes as well - see the shortlog and git log
  for details!"
