Merge tag 'perf-urgent-for-mingo' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/acme/linux into perf/urgent Pull perf/urgent fixes from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo: - tracepoint_error() can receive e=NULL, robustify it, fixes a problem noticed with a very specific combination: Machine with Intel PT (e.g. Broadwell), kernel with no perf_event_attr.context_switch feature (e.g. 4.2) and unreadable tracefs (for instance !root users), making the fallback from perf_event_attr.context_switch to the sched:sched_switch tracepoint to fail reading its info from tracefs, fix it. (Adrian Hunter) - Fix segfault in intel PT, by making it follow the 'struct thread' lifetime cycle checking expectations, noticed for instance, when processing perf.data files with Intel PT data using 'perf script' and when exiting 'perf report' (Adrian Hunter) - Fix CFI usage from .eh_frame and .debug_frame, which sometimes requires that we fallback from .eh_frame to .debug_frame in architectures such as PowerPC (Hemant Kumar) Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>
