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:

  - No need to explicitely enable evsels for workload started from perf, let it
    be enabled via perf_event_attr.enable_on_exec, removing some events that take
    place in the 'perf trace' before a workload is really started by it.
    (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

  - Fix to handle optimized not-inlined functions in 'perf probe' (Masami Hiramatsu)

  - Update 'perf probe' man page (Masami Hiramatsu)

  - 'perf trace': Allow mixing with tracepoints and suppressing plain syscalls
    (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

Infrastructure changes:

  - Introduce {trace_seq_do,event_format_}_fprintf functions to allow
    a default tracepoint field list printer to be used in tools that allows
    redirecting output to a file. (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

  - The man page for pthread_attr_set_affinity_np states that _GNU_SOURCE
    must be defined before pthread.h, do it to fix the build in some
    systems (Josh Boyer)

  - Cleanups in 'perf buildid-cache' (Masami Hiramatsu)

  - Fix dso cache test case (Namhyung Kim)

  - Do Not rely on dso__data_read_offset() to open DSO (Namhyung Kim)

  - Make perf aware of tracefs (Steven Rostedt).

  - Fix build by defining STT_GNU_IFUNC for glibc 2.9 and older (Vinson Lee)

  - AArch64 symbol resolution fixes (Victor Kamensky)

  - Kconfig beachhead (Jiri Olsa)

  - Simplify nr_pages validity (Kaixu Xia)

  - Fixup header positioning in 'perf list' (Yunlong Song)

+Build Framework
+===============
+
+The perf build framework was adopted from the kernel build system, hence the
+idea and the way how objects are built is the same.
+
+Basically the user provides set of 'Build' files that list objects and
+directories to nest for specific target to be build.
+
+Unlike the kernel we don't have a single build object 'obj-y' list that where
+we setup source objects, but we support more. This allows one 'Build' file to
+carry a sources list for multiple build objects.
+
+a) Build framework makefiles
+----------------------------
+
+The build framework consists of 2 Makefiles:
+
+  Build.include
+  Makefile.build
+
+While the 'Build.include' file contains just some generic definitions, the
+'Makefile.build' file is the makefile used from the outside. It's
+interface/usage is following:
+
+  $ make -f tools/build/Makefile srctree=$(KSRC) dir=$(DIR) obj=$(OBJECT)
+
+where:
+
+  KSRC   - is the path to kernel sources
+  DIR    - is the path to the project to be built
+  OBJECT - is the name of the build object
+
+When succefully finished the $(DIR) directory contains the final object file
+called $(OBJECT)-in.o:
+
+  $ ls $(DIR)/$(OBJECT)-in.o
+
+which includes all compiled sources described in 'Build' makefiles.
+
+a) Build makefiles
+------------------
+
+The user supplies 'Build' makefiles that contains a objects list, and connects
+the build to nested directories.
+
+Assume we have the following project structure:
+
+  ex/a.c
+    /b.c
+    /c.c
+    /d.c
+    /arch/e.c
+    /arch/f.c
+
+Out of which you build the 'ex' binary ' and the 'libex.a' library:
+
+  'ex'      - consists of 'a.o', 'b.o' and libex.a
+  'libex.a' - consists of 'c.o', 'd.o', 'e.o' and 'f.o'
+
+The build framework does not create the 'ex' and 'libex.a' binaries for you, it
+only prepares proper objects to be compiled and grouped together.
+
+To follow the above example, the user provides following 'Build' files:
+
+  ex/Build:
+    ex-y += a.o
+    ex-y += b.o
+
+    libex-y += c.o
+    libex-y += d.o
+    libex-y += arch/
+
+  ex/arch/Build:
+    libex-y += e.o
+    libex-y += f.o
+
+and runs:
+
+  $ make -f tools/build/Makefile.build dir=. obj=ex
+  $ make -f tools/build/Makefile.build dir=. obj=libex
+
+which creates the following objects:
+
+  ex/ex-in.o
+  ex/libex-in.o
+
+that contain request objects names in Build files.
+
+It's only a matter of 2 single commands to create the final binaries:
+
+  $ ar  rcs libex.a libex-in.o
+  $ gcc -o ex ex-in.o libex.a
+
+You can check the 'ex' example in 'tools/build/tests/ex' for more details.
+
+b) Rules
+--------
+
+The build framework provides standard compilation rules to handle .S and .c
+compilation.
+
+It's possible to include special rule if needed (like we do for flex or bison
+code generation).
+
+c) CFLAGS
+---------
+
+It's possible to alter the standard object C flags in the following way:
+
+  CFLAGS_perf.o += '...' - alters CFLAGS for perf.o object
+  CFLAGS_gtk += '...'    - alters CFLAGS for gtk build object
+
+This C flags changes has the scope of the Build makefile they are defined in.
+
+
+d) Dependencies
+---------------
+
+For each built object file 'a.o' the '.a.cmd' is created and holds:
+
+  - Command line used to built that object
+    (for each object)
+
+  - Dependency rules generated by 'gcc -Wp,-MD,...'
+    (for compiled object)
+
+All existing '.cmd' files are included in the Build process to follow properly
+the dependencies and trigger a rebuild when necessary.
+
+
+e) Single rules
+---------------
+
+It's possible to build single object file by choice, like:
+
+  $ make util/map.o    # objects
+  $ make util/map.i    # preprocessor
+  $ make util/map.s    # assembly

+1) perf build
+=============
+The perf build process consists of several separated building blocks,
+which are linked together to form the perf binary:
+  - libperf library (static)
+  - perf builtin commands
+  - traceevent library (static)
+  - GTK ui library
+
+Several makefiles govern the perf build:
+
+  - Makefile
+    top level Makefile working as a wrapper that calls the main
+    Makefile.perf with a -j option to do parallel builds.
+
+  - Makefile.perf
+    main makefile that triggers build of all perf objects including
+    installation and documentation processing.
+
+  - tools/build/Makefile.build
+    main makefile of the build framework
+
+  - tools/build/Build.include
+    build framework generic definitions
+
+  - Build makefiles
+    makefiles that defines build objects
+
+Please refer to tools/build/Documentation/Build.txt for more
+information about build framework.
+
+
+2) perf build
+=============
+The Makefile.perf triggers the build framework for build objects:
+   perf, libperf, gtk
+
+resulting in following objects:
+  $ ls  *-in.o
+  gtk-in.o  libperf-in.o  perf-in.o
+
+Those objects are then used in final linking:
+  libperf-gtk.so <- gtk-in.o  libperf-in.o
+  perf           <- perf-in.o libperf-in.o
+
+
+NOTE this description is omitting other libraries involved, only
+     focusing on build framework outcomes

 'NAME' specifies the name of this argument (optional). You can use the name of local variable, local data structure member (e.g. var->field, var.field2), local array with fixed index (e.g. array[1], var->array[0], var->pointer[2]), or kprobe-tracer argument format (e.g. $retval, %ax, etc). Note that the name of this argument will be set as the last member name if you specify a local data structure member (e.g. field2 for 'var->field1.field2'.)
+'$vars' special argument is also available for NAME, it is expanded to the local variables which can access at given probe point.
 'TYPE' casts the type of this argument (optional). If omitted, perf probe automatically set the type based on debuginfo. You can specify 'string' type only for the local variable or structure member which is an array of or a pointer to 'char' or 'unsigned char' type.
 
 On x86 systems %REG is always the short form of the register: for example %AX. %RAX or %EAX is not valid.
