Merge branch 'perf-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

Pull perf changes from Ingo Molnar:
 "There are lots of improvements, the biggest changes are:

  Main kernel side changes:

   - Improve uprobes performance by adding 'pre-filtering' support, by
     Oleg Nesterov.

   - Make some POWER7 events available in sysfs, equivalent to what was
     done on x86, from Sukadev Bhattiprolu.

   - tracing updates by Steve Rostedt - mostly misc fixes and smaller
     improvements.

   - Use perf/event tracing to report PCI Express advanced errors, by
     Tony Luck.

   - Enable northbridge performance counters on AMD family 15h, by Jacob
     Shin.

   - This tracing commit:

        tracing: Remove the extra 4 bytes of padding in events

     changes the ABI.  All involved parties (PowerTop in particular)
     seem to agree that it's safe to do now with the introduction of
     libtraceevent, but the devil is in the details ...

  Main tooling side changes:

   - Add 'event group view', from Namyung Kim:

     To use it, 'perf record' should group events when recording.  And
     then perf report parses the saved group relation from file header
     and prints them together if --group option is provided.  You can
     use the 'perf evlist' command to see event group information:

        $ perf record -e '{ref-cycles,cycles}' noploop 1
        [ perf record: Woken up 2 times to write data ]
        [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.385 MB perf.data (~16807 samples) ]

        $ perf evlist --group
        {ref-cycles,cycles}

     With this example, default perf report will show you each event
     separately.

     You can use --group option to enable event group view:

        $ perf report --group
        ...
        # group: {ref-cycles,cycles}
        # ========
        # Samples: 7K of event 'anon group { ref-cycles, cycles }'
        # Event count (approx.): 6876107743
        #
        #         Overhead  Command      Shared Object                      Symbol
        # ................  .......  .................  ..........................
            99.84%  99.76%  noploop  noploop            [.] main
             0.07%   0.00%  noploop  ld-2.15.so         [.] strcmp
             0.03%   0.00%  noploop  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] timerqueue_del
             0.03%   0.03%  noploop  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] sched_clock_cpu
             0.02%   0.00%  noploop  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] account_user_time
             0.01%   0.00%  noploop  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] __alloc_pages_nodemask
             0.00%   0.00%  noploop  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] native_write_msr_safe
             0.00%   0.11%  noploop  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] _raw_spin_lock
             0.00%   0.06%  noploop  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] find_get_page
             0.00%   0.02%  noploop  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] rcu_check_callbacks
             0.00%   0.02%  noploop  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] __current_kernel_time

     As you can see the Overhead column now contains both of ref-cycles
     and cycles and header line shows group information also - 'anon
     group { ref-cycles, cycles }'.  The output is sorted by period of
     group leader first.

   - Initial GTK+ annotate browser, from Namhyung Kim.

   - Add option for runtime switching perf data file in perf report,
     just press 's' and a menu with the valid files found in the current
     directory will be presented, from Feng Tang.

   - Add support to display whole group data for raw columns, from Jiri
     Olsa.

   - Add per processor socket count aggregation in perf stat, from
     Stephane Eranian.

   - Add interval printing in 'perf stat', from Stephane Eranian.

   - 'perf test' improvements

   - Add support for wildcards in tracepoint system name, from Jiri
     Olsa.

   - Add anonymous huge page recognition, from Joshua Zhu.

   - perf build-id cache now can show DSOs present in a perf.data file
     that are not in the cache, to integrate with build-id servers being
     put in place by organizations such as Fedora.

   - perf top now shares more of the evsel config/creation routines with
     'record', paving the way for further integration like 'top'
     snapshots, etc.

   - perf top now supports DWARF callchains.

   - Fix mmap limitations on 32-bit, fix from David Miller.

   - 'perf bench numa mem' NUMA performance measurement suite

   - ... and lots of fixes, performance improvements, cleanups and other
     improvements I failed to list - see the shortlog and git log for
     details."
