Merge branch 'perf-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull perf updates from Ingo Molnar:
"Kernel side changes:
- AMD range breakpoints support:
Extend breakpoint tools and core to support address range through
perf event with initial backend support for AMD extended
breakpoints.
The syntax is:
perf record -e mem:addr/len:type
For example set write breakpoint from 0x1000 to 0x1200 (0x1000 + 512)
perf record -e mem:0x1000/512:w
- event throttling/rotating fixes
- various event group handling fixes, cleanups and general paranoia
code to be more robust against bugs in the future.
- kernel stack overhead fixes
User-visible tooling side changes:
- Show precise number of samples in at the end of a 'record' session,
if processing build ids, since we will then traverse the whole
perf.data file and see all the PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE records,
otherwise stop showing the previous off-base heuristicly counted
number of "samples" (Namhyung Kim).
- Support to read compressed module from build-id cache (Namhyung
Kim)
- Enable sampling loads and stores simultaneously in 'perf mem'
(Stephane Eranian)
- 'perf diff' output improvements (Namhyung Kim)
- Fix error reporting for evsel pgfault constructor (Arnaldo Carvalho
de Melo)
Tooling side infrastructure changes:
- Cache eh/debug frame offset for dwarf unwind (Namhyung Kim)
- Support parsing parameterized events (Cody P Schafer)
- Add support for IP address formats in libtraceevent (David Ahern)
Plus other misc fixes"
