Pull perf updates from Ingo Molnar:
"On the kernel side the main changes in this cycle were:
- Add Intel Kaby Lake CPU support (Srinivas Pandruvada)
- AMD uncore driver updates for fam17 (Janakarajan Natarajan)
- Intel/PT updates and core events optimizations and cleanups
(Alexander Shishkin)
- cgroups events fixes (David Carrillo-Cisneros)
- kprobes improvements (Masami Hiramatsu)
- ... plus misc fixes and updates.
On the tooling side the main changes were:
- Support clang build in tools/{perf,lib/{bpf,traceevent,api}} with
CC=clang, to, for instance, take advantage of better warnings
(Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo):
- Introduce the 'delta-abs' 'perf diff' compute method, that orders
the histogram entries by the absolute value of the percentage delta
for a function in two perf.data files, i.e. the functions that
changed the most (increase or decrease in samples) comes first
(Namhyung Kim)
- Add support for parsing Intel uncore vendor event files and add
uncore vendor events for the Intel server processors (Haswell,
Broadwell, IvyBridge), Xeon Phi (Knights Landing) and Broadwell DE
(Andi Kleen)
- Introduce 'perf ftrace' a perf front end to the kernel's ftrace
function and function_graph tracer, defaulting to the
"function_graph" tracer, more work will be done in reviving this
effort, forward porting it from its initial patch submission
(Namhyung Kim)
- Add 'e' and 'c' hotkeys to expand/collapse call chains for a single
hist entry in the 'perf report' and 'perf top' TUI (Jiri Olsa)
- Account thread wait time (off CPU time) separately: sleep, iowait
and preempt, based on the prev_state of the last event, show the
breakdown when using "perf sched timehist --state" (Namhyumg Kim)
- Add more triggers to switch the output file (perf.data.TIMESTAMP).
Now, in addition to switching to a different output file when
receiving a SIGUSR2, one can also specify file size and time based
triggers:
perf record -a --switch-output=signal
is equivalent to what we had before:
perf record -a --switch-output
While we can also ask for the file to be "sliced" by size, taking
into account that that will happen only when we get woken up by the
kernel, i.e. one has to take into account the --mmap-pages (the
size of the perf mmap ring buffer):
perf record -a --switch-output=2G
will break the perf.data output into multiple files limited to 2GB
of samples, right when generating the output.
For time based samples, alert() will be used, so to have 1 minute
limited perf.data output files:
perf record -a --switch-output=1m
(Jiri Olsa)
- Improve 'perf trace' (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- 'perf kallsyms' toy tool to look for extended symbol information on
the running kernel and demonstrate the machine/thread/symbol APIs
for use in other tools, such as 'perf probe' (Arnaldo Carvalho de
Melo)
- ... plus tons of other changes, see the shortlog and Git log for
details"

When building a CONFIG_STACK_VALIDATION enabled kernel without the
libelf devel package installed, the Makefile prints a warning:
"Cannot use CONFIG_STACK_VALIDATION, please install libelf-dev, libelf-devel or elfutils-libelf-devel"
But when building an out-of-tree module, the warning doesn't show.
Instead it tries to use objtool, and the build fails with:
/bin/sh: ./tools/objtool/objtool: No such file or directory
Make sure the warning and the disabling of objtool occur in all cases,
by moving the CONFIG_STACK_VALIDATION checks outside the 'ifeq
($(KBUILD_EXTMOD),)' block in the Makefile.

Documentation shouldn't have broken links.
sphinx linkcheck builder scans all documents for external links, tries
to open them with urllib2, and writes an overview which ones are broken
and redirected to standard output and to output.txt in the output
directory.

When doing a kernel build with 'make -s', everything is silenced except
the objtool build. That's because the tools tree support for silent
builds is some combination of missing and broken.
Three changes are needed to fix it:
- Makefile: propagate '-s' to the sub-make's MAKEFLAGS variable so the
tools Makefiles can see it.
- tools/scripts/Makefile.include: fix the tools Makefiles' ability to
recognize '-s'. The MAKE_VERSION and MAKEFLAGS checks are copied from
the top-level Makefile. This silences the "DESCEND objtool" message.
- tools/build/Makefile.build: add support to the tools Build files for
recognizing '-s'. Again the MAKE_VERSION and MAKEFLAGS checks are
copied from the top-level Makefile. This silences all the object
compile/link messages.

When building a specific target such as bzImage, modules aren't normally
built. However if CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS is enabled, no built modules
means none of the exported symbols are used and therefore they will all
be trimmed away from the final kernel. A subsequent "make modules" will
fail because modpost cannot find the needed symbols for those modules in
the kernel binary.
Let's make sure modules are also built whenever CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS
is enabled and that the kernel binary is properly rebuilt accordingly.
