Merge branch 'perf-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull perf updates from Ingo Molnar:
"The main changes in this cycle on the kernel side were:
- CPU PMU and uncore driver updates to Intel Snow Ridge, IceLake,
KabyLake, AmberLake and WhiskeyLake CPUs.
- Rework the MSR probing infrastructure to make it more robust, make
it work better on virtualized systems and to better expose it on
sysfs.
- Rework PMU attributes group support based on the feedback from
Greg. The core sysfs patch that adds sysfs_update_groups() was
acked by Greg.
There's a lot of perf tooling changes as well, all around the place:
- vendor updates to Intel, cs-etm (ARM), ARM64, s390,
- various enhancements to Intel PT tooling support:
- Improve CBR (Core to Bus Ratio) packets support.
- Export power and ptwrite events to sqlite and postgresql.
- Add support for decoding PEBS via PT packets.
- Add support for samples to contain IPC ratio, collecting cycles
information from CYC packets, showing the IPC info periodically
- Allow using time ranges
- lots of updates to perf pmu, perf stat, perf trace, eBPF support,
perf record, perf diff, etc. - please see the shortlog and Git log
for details"
