      Pull perf updates and fixes from Ingo Molnar:
 "It's mostly fixes, but there's also two late items:

   - preliminary GTK GUI support for perf report
   - PMU raw event format descriptors in sysfs, to be parsed by tooling

  The raw event format in sysfs is a new ABI.  For example for the 'CPU'
  PMU we have:

    aldebaran:~> ll /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/format/*
    -r--r--r--. 1 root root 4096 Mar 31 10:29 /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/format/any
    -r--r--r--. 1 root root 4096 Mar 31 10:29 /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/format/cmask
    -r--r--r--. 1 root root 4096 Mar 31 10:29 /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/format/edge
    -r--r--r--. 1 root root 4096 Mar 31 10:29 /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/format/event
    -r--r--r--. 1 root root 4096 Mar 31 10:29 /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/format/inv
    -r--r--r--. 1 root root 4096 Mar 31 10:29 /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/format/offcore_rsp
    -r--r--r--. 1 root root 4096 Mar 31 10:29 /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/format/pc
    -r--r--r--. 1 root root 4096 Mar 31 10:29 /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/format/umask

  those lists of fields contain a specific format:

    aldebaran:~> cat /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/format/offcore_rsp
    config1:0-63

  So, those who wish to specify raw events can now use the following
  event format:

    -e cpu/cmask=1,event=2,umask=3

  Most people will not want to specify any events (let alone raw
  events), they'll just use whatever default event the tools use.

  But for more obscure PMU events that have no cross-architecture
  generic events the above syntax is more usable and a bit more
  structured than specifying hex numbers."

      ASPM: Fix pcie devices with non-pcie children · c9651e70
      Matthew Garrett authored 
      Since 3.2.12 and 3.3, some systems are failing to boot with a BUG_ON.
Some other systems using the pata_jmicron driver fail to boot because no
disks are detected.  Passing pcie_aspm=force on the kernel command line
works around it.

The cause: commit 4949be16 ("PCI: ignore pre-1.1 ASPM quirking when
ASPM is disabled") changed the behaviour of pcie_aspm_sanity_check() to
always return 0 if aspm is disabled, in order to avoid cases where we
changed ASPM state on pre-PCIe 1.1 devices.

This skipped the secondary function of pcie_aspm_sanity_check which was
to avoid us enabling ASPM on devices that had non-PCIe children, causing
trouble later on.  Move the aspm_disabled check so we continue to honour
that scenario.

      selinux: inline avc_audit() and avc_has_perm_noaudit() into caller · cdb0f9a1
      Linus Torvalds authored 
      

Now that all the slow-path code is gone from these functions, we can
inline them into the main caller - avc_has_perm_flags().

Now the compiler can see that 'avc' is allocated on the stack for this
case, which helps register pressure a bit.  It also actually shrinks the
total stack frame, because the stack frame that avc_has_perm_flags()
always needed (for that 'avc' allocation) is now sufficient for the
inlined functions too.

Inlining isn't bad - but mindless inlining of cold code (see the
previous commit) is.

      selinux: don't inline slow-path code into avc_has_perm_noaudit() · a554bea8
      Linus Torvalds authored 
      

The selinux AVC paths remain some of the hottest (and deepest) codepaths
at filename lookup time, and we make it worse by having the slow path
cases take up I$ and stack space even when they don't trigger.  Gcc
tends to always want to inline functions that are just called once -
never mind that this might make for slower and worse code in the caller.

So this tries to improve on it a bit by making the slow-path cases
explicitly separate functions that are marked noinline, causing gcc to
at least no longer allocate stack space for them unless they are
actually called.  It also seems to help register allocation a tiny bit,
since gcc now doesn't take the slow case code into account.

Uninlining the slow path may also allow us to inline the remaining hot
path into the one caller that actually matters: avc_has_perm_flags().
I'll have to look at that separately, but both avc_audit() and
avc_has_perm_noaudit() are now small and lean enough that inlining them
may make sense.
