   - Add support for using several Intel PT features (CYC, MTC packets),
     the relevant documentation was updated in:
         tools/perf/Documentation/intel-pt.txt
     briefly describing those packets, its purposes, how to configure
     them in the event config terms and relevant external documentation
     for further reading.  (Adrian Hunter)

   - Introduce support for probing at an absolute address, for user and
     kernel 'perf probe's, useful when one have the symbol maps on a
     developer machine but not on an embedded system.  (Wang Nan)

   - Add Intel BTS support, with a call-graph script to show it and PT
     in use in a GUI using 'perf script' python scripting with
     postgresql and Qt.  (Adrian Hunter)

   - Allow selecting the type of callchains per event, including
     disabling callchains in all but one entry in an event list, to save
     space, and also to ask for the callchains collected in one event to
     be used in other events.  (Kan Liang)

   - Beautify more syscall arguments in 'perf trace': (Arnaldo Carvalho
     de Melo)
       * A bunch more translate file/pathnames from pointers to strings.
       * Convert numbers to strings for the 'keyctl' syscall 'option'
         arg.
       * Add missing 'clockid' entries.

   - Introduce 'srcfile' sort key: (Andi Kleen)

       # perf record -F 10000 usleep 1
       # perf report --stdio --dsos '[kernel.vmlinux]' -s srcfile
       <SNIP>
       # Overhead  Source File
          26.49%  copy_page_64.S
           5.49%  signal.c
           0.51%  msr.h
       #

     It can be combined with other fields, for instance, experiment with
     '-s srcfile,symbol'.

     There are some oddities in some distros and with some specific
     DSOs, being investigated, so your mileage may vary.

   - Support per-event 'freq' term: (Namhyung Kim)

       $ perf record -e 'cpu/instructions,freq=1234/',cycles -c 1000 sleep 1
       $ perf evlist -F
       cpu/instructions,freq=1234/: sample_freq=1234
       cycles: sample_period=1000
       $

   - Deref sys_enter pointer args with contents from probe:vfs_getname,
     showing pathnames instead of pointers in many syscalls in 'perf
     trace'.  (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

   - Stop collecting /proc/kallsyms in perf.data files, saving about
     4.5MB on a typical x86-64 system, use the the symbol resolution
     routines used in all the other tools (report, top, etc) now that we
     can ask libtraceevent to use perf's symbol resolution code.
     (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

   - Allow filtering out of perf's PID via 'perf record --exclude-perf'.
     (Wang Nan)

   - 'perf trace' now supports syscall groups, like strace, i.e:

       $ trace -e file touch file

     Will expand 'file' into multiple, file related, syscalls.  More
     work needed to add extra groups for other syscall groups, and also
     to complement what was added for the 'file' group, included as a
     proof of concept.  (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

   - Add lock_pi stresser to 'perf bench futex', to test the kernel code
     related to FUTEX_(UN)LOCK_PI.  (Davidlohr Bueso)

   - Let user have timestamps with per-thread recording in 'perf record'
     (Adrian Hunter)

   - ... and tons of other changes, see the shortlog and the Git log for
     details"

a2fb3382ed tracing/uprobes: Do not print '0x (null)' when offset is 0
When manually added uprobe point with zero address, 'uprobe_events'
output '(null)' instead of 0x00000000:

  # echo p:probe_libc/abs_0 /path/to/lib.bin:0x0 arg1=%ax > \
            /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/uprobe_events

  # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/uprobe_events
    p:probe_libc/abs_0 /path/to/lib.bin:0x          (null) arg1=%ax

 This patch fixes this behavior:

  # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/uprobe_events

b7560de198 genirq: Introduce irq_chip_set_type_parent() helper
This helper is required for irq chips which do not implement a
irq_set_type callback and need to call down the irq domain hierarchy
for the actual trigger type change.

This helper is required to fix further wreckage caused by the
conversion of TI OMAP to hierarchical irq domains and therefor tagged
for stable.

6d4affea7d genirq: Don't return ENOSYS in irq_chip_retrigger_hierarchy
irq_chip_retrigger_hierarchy() returns -ENOSYS if it was not able to
find at least one .irq_retrigger() callback implemented in the IRQ
domain hierarchy.

That's wrong, because check_irq_resend() expects a 0 return value from
the callback in case that the hardware assisted resend was not
possible. If the return value is non zero the core code assumes
hardware resend success and the software resend is not invoked.

This results in lost interrupts on platforms where none of the parent
irq chips in the hierarchy implements the retrigger callback.

This is observable on TI OMAP, where the hierarchy is:

 ARM GIC <- OMAP wakeupgen <- TI Crossbar

Return 0 instead so the software resend mechanism gets invoked.

Pull RCU changes from Paul E. McKenney:

  - The combination of tree geometry-initialization simplifications
    and OS-jitter-reduction changes to expedited grace periods.
    These two are stacked due to the large number of conflicts
    that would otherwise result.

    [ With one addition, a temporary commit to silence a lockdep false
      positive. Additional changes to the expedited grace-period
      primitives (queued for 4.4) remove the cause of this false
      positive, and therefore include a revert of this temporary commit. ]

  - Documentation updates.

  - Torture-test updates.

  - Miscellaneous fixes.

c2ad6b51ef perf/ring-buffer: Clarify the use of page::private for high-order AUX allocations
A question [1] was raised about the use of page::private in AUX buffer
allocations, so let's add a clarification about its intended use.

The private field and flag are used by perf's rb_alloc_aux() path to
tell the pmu driver the size of each high-order allocation, so that the
driver can program those appropriately into its hardware. This only
matters for PMUs that don't support hardware scatter tables. Otherwise,
every page in the buffer is just a page.

This patch adds a comment about the private field to the AUX buffer
allocation path.

c7999c6f3f perf: Fix PERF_EVENT_IOC_PERIOD migration race
I ran the perf fuzzer, which triggered some WARN()s which are due to
trying to stop/restart an event on the wrong CPU.

Use the normal IPI pattern to ensure we run the code on the correct CPU.

ee9397a6fb perf: Fix double-free of the AUX buffer
If rb->aux_refcount is decremented to zero before rb->refcount,
__rb_free_aux() may be called twice resulting in a double free of
rb->aux_pages.  Fix this by adding a check to __rb_free_aux().

24ee3cf89b cpuset: use trialcs->mems_allowed as a temp variable
The comment says it's using trialcs->mems_allowed as a temp variable but
it didn't match the code. Change the code to match the comment.

This fixes an issue when writing in cpuset.mems when a sub-directory
exists: we need to write several times for the information to persist:

| root@alban:/sys/fs/cgroup/cpuset# mkdir footest9
| root@alban:/sys/fs/cgroup/cpuset# cd footest9
| root@alban:/sys/fs/cgroup/cpuset/footest9# mkdir aa
| root@alban:/sys/fs/cgroup/cpuset/footest9# cat cpuset.mems
|
| root@alban:/sys/fs/cgroup/cpuset/footest9# echo 0 > cpuset.mems
| root@alban:/sys/fs/cgroup/cpuset/footest9# cat cpuset.mems
|
| root@alban:/sys/fs/cgroup/cpuset/footest9# echo 0 > cpuset.mems
| root@alban:/sys/fs/cgroup/cpuset/footest9# cat cpuset.mems
| 0
| root@alban:/sys/fs/cgroup/cpuset/footest9# cat aa/cpuset.mems
|
| root@alban:/sys/fs/cgroup/cpuset/footest9# echo 0 > aa/cpuset.mems
| root@alban:/sys/fs/cgroup/cpuset/footest9# cat aa/cpuset.mems
| 0
| root@alban:/sys/fs/cgroup/cpuset/footest9#

This should help to fix the following issue in Docker:
https://github.com/opencontainers/runc/issues/133
In some conditions, a Docker container needs to be started twice in
order to work.

18896451ea kthread: export kthread functions
The s-Par visornic driver, currently in staging, processes a queue being
serviced by the an s-Par service partition.  We can get a message that
something has happened with the Service Partition, when that happens, we
must not access the channel until we get a message that the service
partition is back again.

The visornic driver has a thread for processing the channel, when we get
the message, we need to be able to park the thread and then resume it
when the problem clears.

We can do this with kthread_park and unpark but they are not exported
from the kernel, this patch exports the needed functions.

26135022f8 signal: fix information leak in copy_siginfo_to_user
This function may copy the si_addr_lsb, si_lower and si_upper fields to
user mode when they haven't been initialized, which can leak kernel
stack data to user mode.

Just checking the value of si_code is insufficient because the same
si_code value is shared between multiple signals.  This is solved by
checking the value of si_signo in addition to si_code.
