Merge tag 'perf-core-for-mingo-4.16-20171227' 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:
- Allow system wide 'perf stat --per-thread', sorting the result (Jin Yao)
E.g.:
[root@jouet ~]# perf stat --per-thread --metrics IPC
^C
Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

- Improve shell auto-completion of perf events (Jin Yao)
- Fix symbol fixup issues in arm64 due to ELF type (Kim Phillips)
- Ignore threads when they vanish after procfs based enumeration and
before we try to use them with sys_perf_event_open(), i.e. just remove
them from the thread_map and continue with the rest. This makes, among
other cases, the previous new feature (perf stat --per-thread for system
wide, albeit that not seeming to be the motivation for this patch) more
robust. (Mengting Zhang)
- Generate s390 syscall table from asm/unistd.h, doing like x86,
removing the dependency on audit-libs to do this id->string translation,
speeding up the support for newly introducted syscalls (Hendrik Brueckner)
- Fix 'perf test' on filesystems where readdir() returns d_type == DT_UNKNOWN,
such as XFS (Jiri Olsa)
- Fix PERF_SAMPLE_RAW_DATA endianity handling for cross-arch tracepoint
processing (Jiri Olsa)
- Add __return suffix for return events in 'perf probe', streamlining
entry/exit tracing (Masami Hiramatsu)
- Improve support for versioned symbols in 'perf probe" (Masami Hiramatsu)
- Clarify error message about invalid 'perf probe' event names (Masami Hiramatsu)
- Fix check open filename arg using 'perf trace' in a 'perf test' entry for
systems using glibc >= 2.26, such as some ARM and s390 distros (Michael Petlan)
- Make method for obtaining the (normalized) architecture id for a
perf.data file or for the running system used by the annotation routines
generally available, next user will be for generating per arch errno
string tables to allow for pretty printing errno codes recorded in a
perf.data file in architecture A to be properly decoded on hardware
archictecture B. (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- Remove duplicate includes, found using scripts/checkincludes.pl (Pravin Shedge)
- s390 needs -fPIC, enable it, also revert a patch that supposedly did
that but instead enabled -fPIC for x86 (Hendrik Brueckner, Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
