Merge branch 'perf-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git...

Pull perf updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "With over 300 commits it's been a busy cycle - with most of the work
  concentrated on the tooling side (as it should).

  The main kernel side enhancements were:

   - Add per event callchain limit: Recently we introduced a sysctl to
     tune the max-stack for all events for which callchains were
     requested:

       $ sysctl kernel.perf_event_max_stack
       kernel.perf_event_max_stack = 127

     Now this patch introduces a way to configure this per event, i.e.
     this becomes possible:

       $ perf record -e sched:*/max-stack=2/ -e block:*/max-stack=10/ -a

     allowing finer tuning of how much buffer space callchains use.

     This uses an u16 from the reserved space at the end, leaving
     another u16 for future use.

     There has been interest in even finer tuning, namely to control the
     max stack for kernel and userspace callchains separately.  Further
     discussion is needed, we may for instance use the remaining u16 for
     that and when it is present, assume that the sample_max_stack
     introduced in this patch applies for the kernel, and the u16 left
     is used for limiting the userspace callchain (Arnaldo Carvalho de
     Melo)

   - Optimize AUX event (hardware assisted side-band event) delivery
     (Kan Liang)

   - Rework Intel family name macro usage (this is partially x86 arch
     work) (Dave Hansen)

   - Refine and fix Intel LBR support (David Carrillo-Cisneros)

   - Add support for Intel 'TopDown' events (Andi Kleen)

   - Intel uncore PMU driver fixes and enhancements (Kan Liang)

   - ... other misc changes.

  Here's an incomplete list of the tooling enhancements (but there's
  much more, see the shortlog and the git log for details):

   - Support cross unwinding, i.e.  collecting '--call-graph dwarf'
     perf.data files in one machine and then doing analysis in another
     machine of a different hardware architecture.  This enables, for
     instance, to do:

       $ perf record -a --call-graph dwarf

     on a x86-32 or aarch64 system and then do 'perf report' on it on a
     x86_64 workstation (He Kuang)

   - Allow reading from a backward ring buffer (one setup via
     sys_perf_event_open() with perf_event_attr.write_backward = 1)
     (Wang Nan)

   - Finish merging initial SDT (Statically Defined Traces) support, see
     cset comments for details about how it all works (Masami Hiramatsu)

   - Support attaching eBPF programs to tracepoints (Wang Nan)

   - Add demangling of symbols in programs written in the Rust language
     (David Tolnay)

   - Add support for tracepoints in the python binding, including an
     example, that sets up and parses sched:sched_switch events,
     tools/perf/python/tracepoint.py (Jiri Olsa)

   - Introduce --stdio-color to set up the color output mode selection
     in 'annotate' and 'report', allowing emit color escape sequences
     when redirecting the output of these tools (Arnaldo Carvalho de
     Melo)

   - Add 'callindent' option to 'perf script -F', to indent the Intel PT
     call stack, making this output more ftrace-like (Adrian Hunter,
     Andi Kleen)

   - Allow dumping the object files generated by llvm when processing
     eBPF scriptlet events (Wang Nan)

   - Add stackcollapse.py script to help generating flame graphs (Paolo
     Bonzini)

   - Add --ldlat option to 'perf mem' to specify load latency for loads
     event (e.g. cpu/mem-loads/ ) (Jiri Olsa)

   - Tooling support for Intel TopDown counters, recently added to the
     kernel (Andi Kleen)"
