Ingo Molnar 402e8db5c1 perf/core improvements and fixes: ... User visible: - 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: - 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: - 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 <acme@redhat.com> -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 iQIcBAABAgAGBQJWp8VgAAoJENZQFvNTUqpA8gAQAJY4pLDDeK6rZAqAY5fD//JJ aETuF0icXErkboef5usFk0MGVzK8HOWFOD5YnVAPXsGRqTHZ9ix3xw5sBFDaZKrP zagySidfHxrPDvtSW6doCjtg571dFaEHWUL48kT8ZpH9vwGDs42Gl/hjEY2P91zK uNktNoHvbHMUOxoMIp9zyCcV5WEWTog8RwCp53QrxxNrLYIT40wpADQIvuKNgqEP wIQyC2pgLv9ra27fXThauDes+a/TWLfURtxoeGgiDaIFmOi2t5VeN8D+DxXskKIB GtYF7Wxk5U+gELsAo5cZKS5Hyf13LqmwL4Jy/Th5jWaObyNXU2ZwnB3zXxZ3Dmvu keiOY8EmoOoKqOhjUVfsdvsVy0tNhObIJYhlqyOfQg+EqizR0PVlkDxWvODEKkkA T+dWXm183aXwCsHKM0EhAPgsVAJ/U9+lQjHro/lPq/i54oOogL/aBsVvUjNKo6Od m6q2ezgFZRHuPMLmOYhJaxtpvOirQkxORZZx2wgzgs5AsJly+ydoR3ETdhAD76Sg QGSKdTCziDA8KM0Vul6mjoqNlASpUM9cN6uLlv4c26pmf1krwleILMFqzaoYV3iE 3y/ebiRyj2luwKSXELNjcs/7GzCfN3h8sjP6AQ+q0fuWH3zU6+J9oKi+KevYBr8J fFEX6MNxdxOY92mXDPZa =cuZc -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'perf-core-for-mingo' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/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 <acme@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>		2016-02-03 10:58:46 +01:00
