Pull perf/core improvements and fixes from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:
User visible changes:
- Support generating cross arch probes, i.e. if you specify a vmlinux
file for different arch than the one in the host machine,
$ perf probe --definition function_name args
will generate the probe definition string needed to append to the
target machine /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobes_events file, using
scripting (Masami Hiramatsu).
- Make 'perf probe' skip the function prologue in uprobes if program
compiled without optimization, using the same strategy as gdb and
systemtap uses, fixing a bug where:
$ perf probe -x ./test 'foo i'
When 'foo(42)' was used on the "./test" executable would produce i=0
instead of the expected i=42 (Ravi Bangoria)
- Demangle symbols for synthesized @plt entries too (Millian Wolff)
Documentation changes:
- Show default report configuration in 'perf config' example
and docs (Millian Wolff)
Infrastructure changes:
- Make 'perf test vmlinux' tolerate the symbol aliasing pruning done when
loading kallsyms and vmlinux (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- Improve output of 'perf test vmlinux' test, to help identify on the verbose
output which lines are warning and which are errors (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- Prep work to stop having to pass symbol_filter_t to lots of functions,
simplifying symtab loading routines (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- Honor symbol_conf.allow_aliases when loading kallsyms as well, it was using
it only when loading vmlinux files (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- Fixup symbol->end before doing alias pruning when loading symbol tables
(Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- Fix error handling of lzma kernel module decompression (Shawn Lin)
