perf/urgent fixes:
User visible fixes: - Fix the lookup for a kernel module in 'perf probe', fixing for instance, the erroneous return of "[raid10]" when looking for "[raid1]" (Konstantin Khlebnikov) - Disable counters in a group before reading them in 'perf stat', to avoid skew (Mark Rutland) - Fix adding probes to function aliases in systems using kaslr (Masami Hiramatsu) - Trip libtraceevent trace_seq buffers, removing unnecessary memory usage that could bring a system using tracepoint events with 'perf top' to a crawl, as the trace_seq buffers start at a whooping 4 KB, which is very rarely used in perf's usecases, so realloc it to the really used space as a last measure after using libtraceevent functions to format the fields of tracepoint events (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo) - Fix 'perf probe' location when using DWARF on ppc64le (Ravi Bangoria) Improvement: - Allow specifying signedness casts to a 'perf probe' variable, to shorten the number of steps to see signed values that otherwise would always appear as hex values (Naohiro Aota) Documentation fixes: - Add 'bpf-output' field to 'perf script' usage message (Brendan Gregg) Infrastructure fixes: - Sync kernel header files: cpufeatures.h, {disabled,required}-features.h, bpf.h and vmx.h, so that we get a clean build, without warnings about files being different from the kernel counterparts. A verification of the need or desirability of changes in tools/ based on what was done in the kernel changesets was made and documented in the respective file sync changesets (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo) Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iQIcBAABCAAGBQJXqfpSAAoJENZQFvNTUqpAkJUQALGxbMIZmCOE2O/lok7t6PDZ VUsq0vs3V1mPqdin1UnNsfMCvWQExeJZQ4P8EUTSLoMbpiifq2BY5696xs35LUtl +UTTtVgtN+/W5gLiQ78U8kEkG8Q/PiMeWKyLLKgBSAEtibC4pOLnQCu/g4DP3e3c oYQTaoaSq4eBQMQaDKF2Y6EVQFEdQs4PI1JUIsGn9zTfR5qtRiKwZxrNkAfmNAVO opDN42JR3HewwXiOKWuoAVHDi5QVsHgDUnPuYlFujbx306WV+EiypRpzA4Rbr0Cu AZrtkqQdSkKYVhEop3Az5kW9m3qZ6DRcZfJNVmD0Cax637gQNbOyIVVxo2KiS5JQ 8kZknTuQoR8GTARUwlUlQVydwKaRXsox4M1o71FVAOuvEKzBFpIUF46c+Ljgj4O0 zo1q9I2GnmxjakP0528oLrtT4UyndWTxjK0bwPcr+AwFGVfICT5OteUoTkLSbTAO WdqfIhtS1PL+yJmy9iQkaPtTWVtgHmJbQ8PtBVBZZjwvDbx2sDv84/83picwUM+u 4g0WaqEzKMhRznDHXjc6EkSWRcP20AFqAotRNn8Uxhinx6OvLMs2C6TLzt1lHuw/ Zsz6wJnM3qaOs9Oxe1U8J04Zm47C8y6iVx5zpJkgFaAf49mJ475me89NratFrAfq T1OsSy9dejfB4xrBvOjk =/B7T -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
