Merge tag 'perf-core-for-mingo-4.18-20180606' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/acme/linux into perf/urgent

Pull perf/core improvements and fixes from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:

perf stat:

 - Display user and system time for workload targets (Jiri Olsa)

perf record:

 - Enable arbitrary event names thru name= modifier (Alexey Budankov)

PowerPC:

 - Add a python script for hypervisor call statistics (Ravi Bangoria)

Intel PT: (Adrian Hunter)

 - Fix sync_switch INTEL_PT_SS_NOT_TRACING

 - Fix decoding to accept CBR between FUP and corresponding TIP

 - Fix MTC timing after overflow

 - Fix "Unexpected indirect branch" error

perf test:

 - record+probe_libc_inet_pton:

  -  To get the symbol table for dynamic
     shared objects on ubuntu we need to pass the -D/--dynamic command line
     option, unlike with the fedora distros (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

 - code-reading:

  - Fix perf_env setup for PTI entry trampolines (Adrian Hunter)

 - kmod-path:

  - Add tests for vdso32 and vdsox32 (Adrian Hunter)

 - Use header file util/debug.h (Thomas Richter)

perf annotate:

 - Make the various UI backends (stdio, TUI, gtk) use more consistently
  structs with annotation options as specified by the user (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

 - Move annotation specific knobs from the symbol_conf global kitchen
  sink to the annotation option structs (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

perf script:

 - Add more PMU fields to python scripts event handler dict (Jin Yao)

Core:

 - Fix misleading error for some unparsable events mentioning PMUs when
  those are not involved in the problem (Jiri Olsa)

 - Consider BSS symbols when processing /proc/kallsyms ('B' and 'b')
  (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

- Be more robust when trying to use per-symbol histograms, checking for
  unlikely but possible cases where the space for the histograms wasn't
  allocated, print a debug message for such cases (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

- Fix symbol and object code resolution for vdso32 and vdsox32 (Adrian Hunter)

 - No need to check for null when passing pointers to foo__get() style
  refcount grabbing helpers, just like in the kernel and with free(),
  its safe to pass a NULL pointer to avoid having to check it before
  each and every foo__get() call (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

 - Remove some dead code (quote.[ch]) (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

 - Remove some needless globals, making them local (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

 - Reduce usage of symbol_conf.use_callchain, using other means of
  finding out if callchains are in use or available for specific events,
  as we evolved this codebase to allow requesting callchains for just
  a subset of the monitored events. In time it will help polish
  recording and showing mixed sets accross the various tools:

    perf record -e cycles/call-graph=fp/,cache-misses/call-graph=dwarf/,instructions'

  (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

 - Consider PTI entry trampolines in map__rip_2objdump() (Adrian Hunter)
