Fixes: - Support setting probes in versioned user space symbols, such as pthread_create@@GLIBC_2.1, picking the default one, more work needed to make it possible to set it on the other versions, as the 'perf probe' syntax already uses @ for other purposes. (Paul Clarke) - Do not special case address zero as an error for routines that return addresses (symbol lookup), instead use the return as the success/error indication and pass a pointer to return the address, fixing 'perf test vmlinux' (the one that compares address between vmlinux and kallsyms) on s/390, where the '_text' address is equal to zero (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo) Infrastructure: - More header sanitization, moving stuff out of util.h into more appropriate headers and objects and sometimes creating new ones (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo) - Refactor a duplicated code for obtaining config file name (Taeung Song) Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iQIcBAABCAAGBQJZCd/DAAoJENZQFvNTUqpAHLkP/i834z2r9/CQBIMiPOq3ciCd W3K4JsHp3IGFg2rFwit6QnRtTycaZyhupBBNnBj+4OLLT5zujemP3VHbLRf3rvrY Xhx7dlpSYkvpDXOB4lUElrIknIp4jLO329aGW9plRk7vGYa2q97NfDcQYqwRKnd+ 1Y4Z2Bg2ImTWhsrmD+YuI8MwzFcQnG5oAavbbXFP5Bnmorh56auJ4Y6doEThmVbC T0CnYyG29i9KlN1pIm4CDpjVH/aGNZpGhKBJlYGhCWDgxQwstMY2bKwa+6VyITpv FgtU/YKW9ebqT0v2nENjU2XAoFktd3Chn3b8nhuNqN3081mGvIdr4ugMuh7bP0k2 XGiO7ILQAfpO9b0uxGlUX9evvduvM7GMIwdRuJ/jurxxIn4cHy1i6rcU/l096Y0b 9s81bd11NyK4eE7c4Z1IX9JNV0Jw3Knb9B2XEHXfbOx4s7QPsNUQvE0zXUefwmS+ h0YZ1GcAwxIc92JC7gy2iuik1tJ18Nd8Y9/Qnfziem8AIVX205d4miEz9Zx1NUJI pRB4CB9HnrdFZW1rgZ5ob53ToVTdFLAziKq2tEJPdCq2+e2VZfrb3KqeVeGvgRUN xDRvTwc2rgeGynn80t/ShsSpbXPwnmbBapbp5MQdF5T5ObSQOnYVmIGQ3SN3ST5y azaqjBjikhiPzxQJxIHM =gqm+ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'perf-core-for-mingo-4.12-20170503' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/acme/linux into perf/urgent Pull perf/core improvements and fixes from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo: Fixes: - Support setting probes in versioned user space symbols, such as pthread_create@@GLIBC_2.1, picking the default one, more work needed to make it possible to set it on the other versions, as the 'perf probe' syntax already uses @ for other purposes.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
