Pull perf update from Ingo Molnar:
"Lots of changes in this cycle as well, with hundreds of commits from
over 30 contributors. Most of the activity was on the tooling side.
Higher level changes:
- New 'perf kvm' analysis tool, from Xiao Guangrong.
- New 'perf trace' system-wide tracing tool
- uprobes fixes + cleanups from Oleg Nesterov.
- Lots of patches to make perf build on Android out of box, from
Irina Tirdea
- Extend ftrace function tracing utility to be more dynamic for its
users. It allows for data passing to the callback functions, as
well as reading regs as if a breakpoint were to trigger at function
entry.
The main goal of this patch series was to allow kprobes to use
ftrace as an optimized probe point when a probe is placed on an
ftrace nop. With lots of help from Masami Hiramatsu, and going
through lots of iterations, we finally came up with a good
solution.
- Add cpumask for uncore pmu, use it in 'stat', from Yan, Zheng.
- Various tracing updates from Steve Rostedt
- Clean up and improve 'perf sched' performance by elliminating lots
of needless calls to libtraceevent.
- Event group parsing support, from Jiri Olsa
- UI/gtk refactorings and improvements from Namhyung Kim
- Add support for non-tracepoint events in perf script python, from
Feng Tang
- Add --symbols to 'script', similar to the one in 'report', from
Feng Tang.
Infrastructure enhancements and fixes:
- Convert the trace builtins to use the growing evsel/evlist
tracepoint infrastructure, removing several open coded constructs
like switch like series of strcmp to dispatch events, etc.
Basically what had already been showcased in 'perf sched'.
- Add evsel constructor for tracepoints, that uses libtraceevent just
to parse the /format events file, use it in a new 'perf test' to
make sure the libtraceevent format parsing regressions can be more
readily caught.
- Some strange errors were happening in some builds, but not on the
next, reported by several people, problem was some parser related
files, generated during the build, didn't had proper make deps, fix
from Eric Sandeen.
- Introduce struct and cache information about the environment where
a perf.data file was captured, from Namhyung Kim.
- Fix handling of unresolved samples when --symbols is used in
'report', from Feng Tang.
- Add union member access support to 'probe', from Hyeoncheol Lee.
- Fixups to die() removal, from Namhyung Kim.
- Render fixes for the TUI, from Namhyung Kim.
- Don't enable annotation in non symbolic view, from Namhyung Kim.
- Fix pipe mode in 'report', from Namhyung Kim.
- Move related stats code from stat to util/, will be used by the
'stat' kvm tool, from Xiao Guangrong.
- Remove die()/exit() calls from several tools.
- Resolve vdso callchains, from Jiri Olsa
- Don't pass const char pointers to basename, so that we can
unconditionally use libgen.h and thus avoid ifdef BIONIC lines,
from David Ahern
- Refactor hist formatting so that it can be reused with the GTK
browser, From Namhyung Kim
- Fix build for another rbtree.c change, from Adrian Hunter.
- Make 'perf diff' command work with evsel hists, from Jiri Olsa.
- Use the only field_sep var that is set up: symbol_conf.field_sep,
fix from Jiri Olsa.
- .gitignore compiled python binaries, from Namhyung Kim.
- Get rid of die() in more libtraceevent places, from Namhyung Kim.
- Rename libtraceevent 'private' struct member to 'priv' so that it
works in C++, from Steven Rostedt
- Remove lots of exit()/die() calls from tools so that the main perf
exit routine can take place, from David Ahern
- Fix x86 build on x86-64, from David Ahern.
- {int,str,rb}list fixes from Suzuki K Poulose
- perf.data header fixes from Namhyung Kim
- Allow user to indicate objdump path, needed in cross environments,
from Maciek Borzecki
- Fix hardware cache event name generation, fix from Jiri Olsa
- Add round trip test for sw, hw and cache event names, catching the
problem Jiri fixed, after Jiri's patch, the test passes
successfully.
- Clean target should do clean for lib/traceevent too, fix from David
Ahern
- Check the right variable for allocation failure, fix from Namhyung
Kim
- Set up evsel->tp_format regardless of evsel->name being set
already, fix from Namhyung Kim
- Oprofile fixes from Robert Richter.
- Remove perf_event_attr needless version inflation, from Jiri Olsa
- Introduce libtraceevent strerror like error reporting facility,
from Namhyung Kim
- Add pmu mappings to perf.data header and use event names from cmd
line, from Robert Richter
- Fix include order for bison/flex-generated C files, from Ben
Hutchings
- Build fixes and documentation corrections from David Ahern
- Assorted cleanups from Robert Richter
- Let O= makes handle relative paths, from Steven Rostedt
- perf script python fixes, from Feng Tang.
- Initial bash completion support, from Frederic Weisbecker
- Allow building without libelf, from Namhyung Kim.
- Support DWARF CFI based unwind to have callchains when %bp based
unwinding is not possible, from Jiri Olsa.
- Symbol resolution fixes, while fixing support PPC64 files with an
.opt ELF section was the end goal, several fixes for code that
handles all architectures and cleanups are included, from Cody
Schafer.
- Assorted fixes for Documentation and build in 32 bit, from Robert
Richter
- Cache the libtraceevent event_format associated to each evsel
early, so that we avoid relookups, i.e. calling pevent_find_event
repeatedly when processing tracepoint events.
[ This is to reduce the surface contact with libtraceevents and
make clear what is that the perf tools needs from that lib: so
far parsing the common and per event fields. ]
- Don't stop the build if the audit libraries are not installed, fix
from Namhyung Kim.
- Fix bfd.h/libbfd detection with recent binutils, from Markus
Trippelsdorf.
- Improve warning message when libunwind devel packages not present,
from Jiri Olsa"

firmware: fix directory creation rule matching with make 3.80
Since make 3.80 doesn't support secondary expansion it uses a fallback
rule to create firmware directories which is matched after primary
expansion of the $(installed-fw) rule's prerequisite. Commit
6c7080a61f [firmware: fix directory creation rule matching with make
3.82] changed the expression generated after primary expansion such
that the fallback was not matched. Updating the fallback rule to match
the new look primary expansion is not an option for various reasons.
The trailing slash added here to $(INSTALL_FW_PATH)/. while defining
installed-fw-dirs fixes builds with make 3.82 since this will provide
a matching rule for $(INSTALL_FW_PATH)/$$(dir %) when % is in the base
firmware directory (ie. $(dir %) gives './'). Versions of make prior
to 3.82 will strip this trailing slash along with the one generated by
$(dir %) when % is in the base firmware directory and as such continue
to function as before.

Steve Rostedt asked for the merge of a single commit, into both
the RCU and the perf/tracing tree:
| Josh made a change to the tracing code that affects both the
| work Paul McKenney and I are currently doing. At the last
| Kernel Summit back in August, Linus said when such a case
| exists, it is best to make a separate branch based off of his
| tree and place the change there. This way, the repositories
| that need to share the change can both pull them in and the
| SHA1 will match for both. Whichever branch is pulled in first
| by Linus will also pull in the necessary change for the other
| branch as well.

Pull blackfin updates from Bob Liu:
"One kbuild and a smp build fix."
* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/lliubbo/blackfin:
kbuild: add symbol prefix arg to kallsyms
blackfin: smp: adapt to generic smp helpers
Commit 1f2bfbd00e ("kbuild: link of
vmlinux moved to a script") introduced in v3.5-rc1 broke kallsyms on
architectures which have symbol prefixes.
The --symbol-prefix argument used to be added to the KALLSYMS command
line from the architecture Makefile, however this isn't picked up by the
new scripts/link-vmlinux.sh. This resulted in symbols like
kallsyms_addresses being added which weren't correctly overriding the
weak symbols such as _kallsyms_addresses. These could then trigger
BUG_ONs in kallsyms code.
This is fixed by removing the KALLSYMS addition from the architecture
Makefile, and using CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX in the link-vmlinux.sh script
to determine whether to add the --symbol-prefix argument.

Pull kbuild fixes from Michal Marek:
"These are two fixes that should go into 3.6. The link-vmlinux.sh one
is obvious.
The other one fixes make firmware_install with certain configurations,
where a file in the toplevel firmware tree gets installed first, and
$(INSTALL_FW_PATH)/$$(dir <file>) results in /lib/firmware/./, which
confuses make 3.82 for some reason."

firmware: fix directory creation rule matching with make 3.82
link-vmlinux.sh: Fix stray "echo" in error message
Attempting to run 'firmware_install' with CONFIG_USB_SERIAL_TI=y when
using make 3.82 results in an error
make[2]: *** No rule to make target `/lib/firmware/./', needed by
`/lib/firmware/ti_3410.fw'. Stop.
It turns out make 3.82 is picky when matching directory names with
trailing slashes as a result, where make 3.81 would handle this
correctly make 3.82 does not find the rule needed to create the
directory.
The './' seen in the error is added by $(dir) for firmware which
resides in the base firmware src directory, such as
ti_3410.fw.ihex. By performing $(dir) after we prepend the
$(INSTALL_FW_PATH) we can ensure we don't end up with a './' in the
middle of the path and the directory will be properly created.
This change works with make 3.81 and should work with previous
versions as well.

Macros that start with control tests should be enclosed in a do {} while

Add the necessary control tests to the check.
