Linus Torvalds 174e719439 Merge branch 'perf-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull more perf updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "A rather large set of perf updates:

  Kernel:

   - Fix various initialization issues

   - Prevent creating [ku]probes for not CAP_SYS_ADMIN users

  Tooling:

   - Show only failing syscalls with 'perf trace --failure' (Arnaldo
     Carvalho de Melo)

            e.g: See what 'openat' syscalls are failing:

        # perf trace --failure -e openat
         762.323 ( 0.007 ms): VideoCapture/4566 openat(dfd: CWD, filename: /dev/video2) = -1 ENOENT No such file or directory
         <SNIP N /dev/videoN open attempts... sigh, where is that improvised camera lid?!? >
         790.228 ( 0.008 ms): VideoCapture/4566 openat(dfd: CWD, filename: /dev/video63) = -1 ENOENT No such file or directory
        ^C#

   - Show information about the event (freq, nr_samples, total
     period/nr_events) in the annotate --tui and --stdio2 'perf
     annotate' output, similar to the first line in the 'perf report
     --tui', but just for the samples for a the annotated symbol
     (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

   - Introduce 'perf version --build-options' to show what features were
     linked, aliased as well as a shorter 'perf -vv' (Jin Yao)

   - Add a "dso_size" sort order (Kim Phillips)

   - Remove redundant ')' in the tracepoint output in 'perf trace'
     (Changbin Du)

   - Synchronize x86's cpufeatures.h, no effect on toolss (Arnaldo
     Carvalho de Melo)

   - Show group details on the title line in the annotate browser and
     'perf annotate --stdio2' output, so that the per-event columns can
     have headers (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

   - Fixup vertical line separating metrics from instructions and
     cleaning unused lines at the bottom, both in the annotate TUI
     browser (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

   - Remove duplicated 'samples' in lost samples warning in
     'perf report' (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

   - Synchronize i915_drm.h, silencing the perf build process,
     automagically adding support for the new DRM_I915_QUERY ioctl
     (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

   - Make auxtrace_queues__add_buffer() allocate struct buffer, from a
     patchkit already applied (Adrian Hunter)

   - Fix the --stdio2/TUI annotate output to include group details, be
     it for a recorded '{a,b,f}' explicit event group or when forcing
     group display using 'perf report --group' for a set of events not
     recorded as a group (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

   - Fix display artifacts in the ui browser (base class for the
     annotate and main report/top TUI browser) related to the extra
     title lines work (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

   - perf auxtrace refactorings, leftovers from a previously partially
     processed patchset (Adrian Hunter)

   - Fix the builtin clang build (Sandipan Das, Arnaldo Carvalho de
     Melo)

   - Synchronize i915_drm.h, silencing a perf build warning and in the
     process automagically adding support for a new ioctl command
     (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

   - Fix a strncpy issue in uprobe tracing"

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
