Commit:
2665784850 ("perf/core: Verify we have a single perf_hw_context PMU")
forcefully prevents multiple PMUs from sharing perf_hw_context, as this
generally doesn't make sense. It is a common bug for uncore PMUs to
use perf_hw_context rather than perf_invalid_context, which this detects.
However, systems exist with heterogeneous CPUs (and hence heterogeneous
HW PMUs), for which sharing perf_hw_context is necessary, and possible
in some limited cases.
To make this work we have to perform some gymnastics, as we did in these
commits:
66eb579e66 ("perf: allow for PMU-specific event filtering")
c904e32a69 ("arm: perf: filter unschedulable events")
To allow those systems to work, we must allow PMUs for heterogeneous
CPUs to share perf_hw_context, though we must still disallow sharing
otherwise to detect the common misuse of perf_hw_context.
This patch adds a new PERF_PMU_CAP_HETEROGENEOUS_CPUS for this, updates
the core logic to account for this, and makes use of it in the arm_pmu
code that is used for systems with heterogeneous CPUs. Comments are
added to make the rationale clear and hopefully avoid accidental abuse.

Many instruction tracing PMUs out there support address range-based
filtering, which would, for example, generate trace data only for a
given range of instruction addresses, which is useful for tracing
individual functions, modules or libraries. Other PMUs may also
utilize this functionality to allow filtering to or filtering out
code at certain address ranges.
This patch introduces the interface for userspace to specify these
filters and for the PMU drivers to apply these filters to hardware
configuration.
The user interface is an ASCII string that is passed via an ioctl()
and specifies (in the form of an ASCII string) address ranges within
certain object files or within kernel. There is no special treatment
for kernel modules yet, but it might be a worthy pursuit.
The PMU driver interface basically adds two extra callbacks to the
PMU driver structure, one of which validates the filter configuration
proposed by the user against what the hardware is actually capable of
doing and the other one translates hardware-independent filter
configuration into something that can be programmed into the
hardware.

Pull rdma fixes from Doug Ledford:
"Final set of -rc fixes for 4.6.
I've collected up a number of patches that are all pretty small with
the exception of only a couple. The hfi1 driver has a number of
important patches, and it is what really drives the line count of this
pull request up. These are all small and I've got this kernel built
and running in the test lab (I have most of the hardware, I think nes
is the only thing in this patch set that I can't say I've personally
tested and have up and running).
Summary:
- A number of collected fixes for oopses, memory corruptions,
deadlocks, etc. All of these fixes are small (many only 5-10
lines), obvious, and tested.
- Fix for the security issue related to the use of write for
bi-directional communications"

Pull perf/core improvements and fixes from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:
User visible changes:
- Allow generate timestamped suffixed multiple perf.data files upon receiving
SIGUSR2 in 'perf record', to slice a long running monitoring session, allowing
to dump uninteresting sessions (Wang Nan)
- Handle ENOMEM for perf_event_max_stack + PERF_SAMPLE_CALLCHAIN
in perf_evsel__open_strerror(), showing a more informative
message when the request call stack depth can't be allocated by
the kernel (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
Infrastructure changes:
- Use strbuf for making strings in 'perf probe' (Masami Hiramatsu)
- Do not use sizeof on pointer type, not a problem since its a pointer to
pointer, fix none the less. Found by Coccinelle (Vaishali Thakkar)
Cleanups:
- Fix for Coverity found issues in the bpf feature build test (Florian Fainelli)
