X-Git-Tag: v4.6-rc1~165^2~79 X-Git-Url: http://git.cascardo.info/?p=cascardo%2Flinux.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=402e8db5c1e65b115f15f0c28cabe209647b1ee5 Merge tag 'perf-core-for-mingo' of git://git./linux/kernel/git/acme/linux into perf/core Pull perf/core improvements and fixes from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo: User visible changes: - Rename the "colors.code" ~/.perfconfig variable to "colors.jump_arrows", as it controls just the that UI element in the annotate browser (Taeung Song) - Avoid trying to read ELF symtabs from device files, noticed while doing memory profiling work (Jiri Olsa) - Improve context detection when offering options in the hists browser, i.e. some options don't make sense when the browser is not working with a perf.data file ('perf top' mode), only in 'perf report' mode, like scripting (Namhyung Kim) Infrastructure changes: - Elliminate duplication in the hists browser filter functions, getting the common part into a function that receives callbacks for filtering by DSO, thread, etc. (Namhyung Kim) - Fix misleadingly indented assignment, found using gcc6 -Wmisleading-indentation (Markus Trippelsdorf) - Handle LLVM relocation oddities in libbpf, introducing a 'perf test' that detects such problems and then fixing the problem, so that the test now passes (Wang Nan) - More improvements to the build infrastructure to allow reusing the feature detection facilities (Wang Nan) - Auto initialize the globals needed by cpu__max_{cpu,node}() routines (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo) Documentation changes: - Document the perf sysctls in Documentation/sysctl/kernel.txt (Ben Hutchings) - Document a bunch more ~/.perfconfig knobs (Taeung Song) Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar --- 402e8db5c1e65b115f15f0c28cabe209647b1ee5
