Merge tag 'perf-core-for-mingo' 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:
User visible changes:
- Enhance the error reporting of tracepoint event parsing, e.g.:
$ oldperf record -e sched:sched_switc usleep 1
event syntax error: 'sched:sched_switc'
\___ unknown tracepoint
Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events
Now we get the much nicer:
$ perf record -e sched:sched_switc ls
event syntax error: 'sched:sched_switc'
\___ can't access trace events
Error: No permissions to read /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_switc
Hint: Try 'sudo mount -o remount,mode=755 /sys/kernel/debug'
And after we have those mount point permissions fixed:
$ perf record -e sched:sched_switc ls
event syntax error: 'sched:sched_switc'
\___ unknown tracepoint
Error: File /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_switc not found.
Hint: Perhaps this kernel misses some CONFIG_ setting to enable this feature?.
Now its just a matter of using what git uses to suggest alternatives when we
make a typo, i.e. that it is just an 'h' missing :-)
I.e. basically now the event parsing routing uses the strerror_open()
routines introduced by and used in 'perf trace' work. (Jiri Olsa)
Infrastructure changes:
- Export init/exit_probe_symbol_maps() from 'perf probe' for use in eBPF.
(Namhyung Kim)
- Free perf_probe_event in cleanup_perf_probe_events(). (Namhyung Kim)
- regs_query_register_offset() infrastructure + implementation for x86.
First user will be the perf/eBPF code. (Wang Nan)
