Merge tag 'perf-core-for-mingo-5.3-20190611' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/acme/linux into perf/core

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

perf record:

  Alexey Budankov:

  - Allow mixing --user-regs with --call-graph=dwarf, making sure that
    the minimal set of registers for DWARF unwinding is present in the
    set of user registers requested to be present in each sample, while
    warning the user that this may make callchains unreliable if more
    that the minimal set of registers is needed to unwind.

  yuzhoujian:

  - Add support to collect callchains from kernel or user space only,
    IOW allow setting the perf_event_attr.exclude_callchain_{kernel,user}
    bits from the command line.

perf trace:

  Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:

  - Remove x86_64 specific syscall numbers from the augmented_raw_syscalls
    BPF in-kernel collector of augmented raw_syscalls:sys_{enter,exit}
    payloads, use instead the syscall numbers obtainer either by the
    arch specific syscalltbl generators or from audit-libs.

  - Allow 'perf trace' to ask for the number of bytes to collect for
    string arguments, for now ask for PATH_MAX, i.e. the whole
    pathnames, which ends up being just a way to speficy which syscall
    args are pathnames and thus should be read using bpf_probe_read_str().

  - Skip unknown syscalls when expanding strace like syscall groups.
    This helps using the 'string' group of syscalls to work in arm64,
    where some of the syscalls present in x86_64 that deal with
    strings, for instance 'access', are deprecated and this should not
    be asked for tracing.

  Leo Yan:

  - Exit when failing to build eBPF program.

perf config:

  Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:

  - Bail out when a handler returns failure for a key-value pair. This
    helps with cases where processing a key-value pair is not just a
    matter of setting some tool specific knob, involving, for instance
    building a BPF program to then attach to the list of events 'perf
    trace' will use, e.g. augmented_raw_syscalls.c.

perf.data:

  Kan Liang:

  - Read and store die ID information available in new Intel processors
    in CPUID.1F in the CPU topology written in the perf.data header.

perf stat:

  Kan Liang:

  - Support per-die aggregation.

Documentation:

  Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:

  - Update perf.data documentation about the CPU_TOPOLOGY, MEM_TOPOLOGY,
    CLOCKID and DIR_FORMAT headers.

  Song Liu:

  - Add description of headers HEADER_BPF_PROG_INFO and HEADER_BPF_BTF.

  Leo Yan:

  - Update default value for llvm.clang-bpf-cmd-template in 'man perf-config'.

JVMTI:

  Jiri Olsa:

  - Address gcc string overflow warning for strncpy()

core:

  - Remove superfluous nthreads system_wide setup in perf_evsel__alloc_fd().

Intel PT:

  Adrian Hunter:

  - Add support for samples to contain IPC ratio, collecting cycles
    information from CYC packets, showing the IPC info periodically, because
    Intel PT does not update the cycle count on every branch or instruction,
    the incremental values will often be zero.  When there are values, they
    will be the number of instructions and number of cycles since the last
    update, and thus represent the average IPC since the last IPC value.

    E.g.:

    # perf record --cpu 1 -m200000 -a -e intel_pt/cyc/u sleep 0.0001
    rounding mmap pages size to 1024M (262144 pages)
    [ perf record: Woken up 0 times to write data ]
    [ perf record: Captured and wrote 2.208 MB perf.data ]
    # perf script --insn-trace --xed -F+ipc,-dso,-cpu,-tid
    #
    <SNIP + add line numbering to make sense of IPC counts e.g.: (18/3)>

  - Allow using time ranges with Intel PT, i.e. these features, already
    present but not optimially usable with Intel PT, should be now:

        Select the second 10% time slice:

        $ perf script --time 10%/2

        Select from 0% to 10% time slice:

        $ perf script --time 0%-10%

        Select the first and second 10% time slices:

        $ perf script --time 10%/1,10%/2

        Select from 0% to 10% and 30% to 40% slices:

        $ perf script --time 0%-10%,30%-40%

cs-etm (ARM):

  Mathieu Poirier:

  - Add support for CPU-wide trace scenarios.

s390:

  Thomas Richter:

  - Fix missing kvm module load for s390.

  - Fix OOM error in TUI mode on s390

  - Support s390 diag event display when doing analysis on !s390
    architectures.
