Subject: Merge tag 'perf-core-for-mingo' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git... 
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=a4d71093e759b7cfe0babbc6ae89c8130532f6ad;p=GitHub%2Fmoto-9609%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

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:

- Enhance the error reporting of tracepoint event parsing, e.g.:

    $ oldperf record -e sched:sched_switc usleep 1
    event syntax error: 'sched:sched_switc'
                         \___ unknown tracepoint
    Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events

  Now we get the much nicer:

    $ perf record -e sched:sched_switc ls
    event syntax error: 'sched:sched_switc'
                         \___ can't access trace events

    Error: No permissions to read /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_switc
    Hint:  Try 'sudo mount -o remount,mode=755 /sys/kernel/debug'

  And after we have those mount point permissions fixed:

    $ perf record -e sched:sched_switc ls
    event syntax error: 'sched:sched_switc'
                         \___ unknown tracepoint

    Error: File /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_switc not found.
    Hint:  Perhaps this kernel misses some CONFIG_ setting to enable this feature?.

  Now its just a matter of using what git uses to suggest alternatives when we
  make a typo, i.e. that it is just an 'h' missing :-)

  I.e. basically now the event parsing routing uses the strerror_open()
  routines introduced by and used in 'perf trace' work. (Jiri Olsa)

Infrastructure changes:

- Export init/exit_probe_symbol_maps() from 'perf probe' for use in eBPF.
  (Namhyung Kim)

- Free perf_probe_event in cleanup_perf_probe_events(). (Namhyung Kim)

- regs_query_register_offset() infrastructure + implementation for x86.
  First user will be the perf/eBPF code. (Wang Nan)
