Merge tag 'perf-core-for-mingo-5.4-20190829' 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 top:
Namhyung Kim:
- Decay all events in the evlist, we were decaying just the first event
in a group.
- Fix linking of histograms in different evsels in a event group with more
than two events.
With the two fixes above a command line such as:
# perf top -e '{cycles,instructions,cache-misses,cache-references}
Should work as expected, with four columns and with all of them being
decayed over time, i.e. less weight is given for older samples.
perf record:
Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:
- Fix collection of build-ids when using setns() to get into namespaces,
which had been broken with the introduction of the extra thread to
react to PERF_RECORD_BPF_EVENT, i.e. to collect extra info for BPF
programs. We need to unshare(CLONE_FS) in that thread so that the
main one can do the setns(CLONE_NEWNS) when collectingthe build-ids.
Without that symbol resolution gets more difficult and potentially
misresolves symbols.
core:
Igor Lubashev:
- Further alignment in permission checking via capabilities to how the
kernel checks what tooling tries to do.
PowerPC:
Naveen N. Rao:
- Sync powerpc syscall.tbl, so that 'perf trace' gets the definitions
for recent syscalls.
libperf:
Jiri Olsa:
- Move the rest of the PERF_RECORD_ metadata struct definitions so that
we can use 'union perf_event'.
libtraceevent:
Steven Rostedt (VMware):
- Do not free tep->cmdlines in add_new_comm() on failure.
- Remove unneeded qsort and uses memmove instead
