Merge tag 'perf-core-for-mingo-5.4-20190829' 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 top: Namhyung Kim: - Decay all events in the evlist, we were decaying just the first event in a group. - Fix linking of histograms in different evsels in a event group with more than two events. With the two fixes above a command line such as: # perf top -e '{cycles,instructions,cache-misses,cache-references} Should work as expected, with four columns and with all of them being decayed over time, i.e. less weight is given for older samples. perf record: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo: - Fix collection of build-ids when using setns() to get into namespaces, which had been broken with the introduction of the extra thread to react to PERF_RECORD_BPF_EVENT, i.e. to collect extra info for BPF programs. We need to unshare(CLONE_FS) in that thread so that the main one can do the setns(CLONE_NEWNS) when collectingthe build-ids. Without that symbol resolution gets more difficult and potentially misresolves symbols. core: Igor Lubashev: - Further alignment in permission checking via capabilities to how the kernel checks what tooling tries to do. PowerPC: Naveen N. Rao: - Sync powerpc syscall.tbl, so that 'perf trace' gets the definitions for recent syscalls. libperf: Jiri Olsa: - Move the rest of the PERF_RECORD_ metadata struct definitions so that we can use 'union perf_event'. libtraceevent: Steven Rostedt (VMware): - Do not free tep->cmdlines in add_new_comm() on failure. - Remove unneeded qsort and uses memmove instead Signed-off-by:Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Signed-off-by:
