660d13296b perf tools: Fix build breakage on arm64 targets 
Attempting to build the perf tool for an arm64 target results in the
following failure:

  arch/arm64/util/unwind-libunwind.c: In function 'libunwind__arch_reg_id':
  arch/arm64/util/unwind-libunwind.c:77:3: error: implicit declaration of function 'pr_err'
     pr_err("unwind: invalid reg id %d\n", regnum);
     ^
  arch/arm64/util/unwind-libunwind.c:77:3: error: nested extern declaration of 'pr_err'

This is due to commit 84f5d36f48 ("perf tools: Move pr_* debug macros
into debug object") moving the pr_* macros into a new header file, but
failing to update architectures other than x86.

This patch adds the missing include, and fixes the build again.

3be8e2a0a5 perf kvm: Add stat support on s390

exit_event_begin and exit_event_end several other events may happen and
with each of them refining the previous ones.

This patch adds a decoder for such events to the generic code and also
the files <asm/kvm_perf.h> and kvm-stat.c for s390.

Commands 'perf kvm stat record', 'report' and 'live' are supported.

avoid flooding the output with enabled --duration option. The events to
be skipped should be architecture dependent, though.

Let's add an architecture specific array of events to be skipped and
introduce a skip_event() function checking against that array.

9daa81239e perf kvm: Move arch specific code into arch/ 
Parts of a 'perf kvm stat' code make sense only for x86.

Let's move this code into the arch/x86/kvm-stat.c file and add
util/kvm-stat.h for generic structure definitions.

Add a global array 'kvm_reg_events_ops' for accessing the arch-specific
'kvm_events_ops' from generic code.

Since the several global arrays (i.e. 'kvm_events_tp') have been moved
to arch/*, we can not know their sizes and use them directly in
builtin-kvm.c. This patch fixes that problem by adding trimming NULL
element to each array and changing the behavior of their handlers in
generic code.

a60335ba32 perf tools powerpc: Adjust callchain based on DWARF debug info 
When saving the callchain on Power, the kernel conservatively saves excess
entries in the callchain. A few of these entries are needed in some cases
but not others. We should use the DWARF debug information to determine
when the entries are  needed.

Eg: the value in the link register (LR) is needed only when it holds the
return address of a function. At other times it must be ignored.

If the unnecessary entries are not ignored, we end up with duplicate arcs
in the call-graphs.

Use the DWARF debug information to determine if any callchain entries
should be ignored when building call-graphs.

Callgraph before the patch:

Combine all definitions into a common tools/include/linux/types.h and
kill the wild growth elsewhere. Move DECLARE_BITMAP to its proper
bitmap.h header.

9a12672816 perf tests x86: Fix stack map lookup in dwarf unwind test 
Previous commit 'perf x86: Fix perf to use non-executable stack, again'
moved stack map into MAP__VARIABLE map type again. Fixing the dwarf
unwind test stack map lookup appropriately.

6392b4ebdc perf x86: Fix perf to use non-executable stack, again 
arch/x86/tests/regs_load.S is missing the linker note about the stack
requirements, therefore making the linker fall back to an executable
stack. As this object gets linked against the final perf binary, it'll
needlessly end up with an executable stack. Fix this by adding the
appropriate linker note.

Also add a global linker flag to prevent future regressions, as
suggested by Jiri. This way perf won't get an executable stack even if
we fail to add the .GNU-stack linker note to future assembler files.
Though, doing so might create regressions the other way around, when
(statically) linking against libraries needing an executable stack.
But, apparently, regressing in that direction is wanted as it is an
indicator of poor code quality -- or just missing linker notes.

Fixes: 3c8b06f981 ("perf tests x86: Introduce perf_regs_load function")
