User visible:
. Initial support for namespaces, using setns to access files in
namespaces, grabbing their build-ids, etc. We still need to work
more to deal with namespaces that vanish before we can get the
needed data to do analysis, but this should be as good as what is
in bcc now (Krister Johansen)
. Add header record types to pipe-mode, now this command:
$ perf record -o - -e cycles sleep 1 | perf report --stdio --header
Will show the same as in non-pipe mode, i.e. involving a perf.data
file (David Carrillo-Cisneros)
. Implement a visual marker for fused x86 instructions in the annotate
TUI browser, available now in 'perf report', more work needed to have
it available as well in 'perf top' (Jin Yao)
Further explanation from one of Jin's patches:
│ ┌──cmpl $0x0,argp_program_version_hook
81.93 │ ├──je 20
│ │ lock cmpxchg %esi,0x38a9a4(%rip)
│ │↓ jne 29
│ │↓ jmp 43
11.47 │20:└─→cmpxch %esi,0x38a999(%rip)
That means the cmpl+je is a fused instruction pair and they should be
considered together.
. Record the branch type and then show statistics and info about
in callchain entries (Jin Yao)
Example from one of Jin's patches:
# perf record -g -j any,save_type
# perf report --branch-history --stdio --no-children

. Beautify the fcntl syscall, which is an interesting one in the sense
that infrastructure had to be put in place to change the formatters of
some arguments according to the value in a previous one, i.e. cmd
dictates how arg and the syscall return will be formatted.

Infrastructure:
. 'perf test attr' fixes (Jiri Olsa)
Vendor events:
- Add POWER9 PMU events Sukadev (Bhattiprolu)
- Support additional POWER8+ PVR in PMU mapfile (Shriya)
