Merge tag 'perf-core-for-mingo-4.19-20180801' 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:

perf trace: (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

- Do not require --no-syscalls to suppress strace like output, i.e.

     # perf trace -e sched:*switch

  will show just sched:sched_switch events, not strace-like formatted
  syscall events, use --syscalls to get the previous behaviour.

  If instead:

     # perf trace

  is used, i.e. no events specified, then --syscalls is implied and
  system wide strace like formatting will be applied to all syscalls.

  The behaviour when just a syscall subset is used with '-e' is unchanged:

     # perf trace -e *sleep,sched:*switch

  will work as before: just the 'nanosleep' syscall will be strace-like
  formatted plus the sched:sched_switch tracepoint event, system wide.

- Allow string table generators to use a default header dir, allowing
  use of them without parameters to see the table it generates on
  stdout, e.g.:

    $ tools/perf/trace/beauty/kvm_ioctl.sh
    static const char *kvm_ioctl_cmds[] = {
        [0x00] = "GET_API_VERSION",
        [0x01] = "CREATE_VM",
        [0x02] = "GET_MSR_INDEX_LIST",
        [0x03] = "CHECK_EXTENSION",
<BIG SNIP>
        [0xe0] = "CREATE_DEVICE",
        [0xe1] = "SET_DEVICE_ATTR",
        [0xe2] = "GET_DEVICE_ATTR",
        [0xe3] = "HAS_DEVICE_ATTR",
    };
    $

  See 'ls tools/perf/trace/beauty/*.sh' to see the available string
  table generators.

- Add a generator for IPPROTO_ socket's protocol constants.

perf record: (Kan Liang)

- Fix error out while applying initial delay and using LBR, due to
  the use of a PERF_TYPE_SOFTWARE/PERF_COUNT_SW_DUMMY event to track
  PERF_RECORD_MMAP events while waiting for the initial delay. Such
  events fail when configured asking PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_STACK in
  perf_event_attr.sample_type.

perf c2c: (Jiri Olsa)

- Fix report crash for empty browser, when processing a perf.data file
  without events of interest, either because not asked for in
  'perf record' or because the workload didn't triggered such events.

perf list: (Michael Petlan)

- Align metric group description format with PMU event description.

perf tests: (Sandipan Das)

- Fix indexing when invoking subtests, which caused BPF tests to
  get results for the next test in the list, with the last one
  reporting a failure.

eBPF:

- Fix installation directory for header files included from eBPF proggies,
  avoiding clashing with relative paths used to build other software projects
  such as glibc. (Thomas Richter)

- Show better message when failing to load an object. (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

General: (Christophe Leroy)

- Allow overriding MAX_NR_CPUS at compile time, to make the tooling
  usable in systems with less memory, in time this has to be changed
  to properly allocate based on _NPROCESSORS_ONLN.

Architecture specific:

- Update arm64's ThunderX2 implementation defined pmu core events (Ganapatrao Kulkarni)

- Fix complex event name parsing in 'perf test' for PowerPC, where the 'umask' event
  modifier isn't present. (Sandipan Das)

CoreSight ARM hardware tracing: (Leo Yan)

- Fix start tracing packet handling.

- Support dummy address value for CS_ETM_TRACE_ON packet.

- Generate branch sample when receiving a CS_ETM_TRACE_ON packet.

- Generate branch sample for CS_ETM_TRACE_ON packet.
