Fixes: - Fix concat_probe_trace_events() in 'perf probe', it should dereference a pointer, not test its value (Ravi Bangoria) User visible: - Handle partial AUX records, checking if 'kvm_intel.ko' is loaded and if its 'vmm_exclusive' parameter is set to 0, suggesting tweaking it to reduce gaps (Alexander Shishkin) Infrastructure: - Sync the kvm.h, cpufeatures.h and perf_event.h tools/ headers copies with the kernel (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo, Alexander Shishkin) - 'perf lock' subcommands should include common options, using OPT_PARENT() (Changbin Du) - Ditto for 'perf timechart' (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo) Documentation: Correct 'perf stat --no-aggr' description (Ravi Bangoria) Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iQIcBAABCAAGBQJY0H3tAAoJENZQFvNTUqpAiTAP/3RgOPnX7Cd8mK2e5bb9aRGF LRvx3pGJuFgUrt+EBk3xVr3HamMJFAPOhPo26qwR4sUJMwP4MrmE1Jlo2x9//oer WXO9nnGf3Y1r7x3CAEHXPp3Qt9MHWas9lXeFqOeFbqI55rZr5j6Q8SRt4iYaxq/N 5WtcZthsTvBCb8HgDhzX2sjoKDMyue1eRBgXSLECKcm9SVk1omtcMEoUl+4sw0mR zlk6ehzimSF1BOsNRi8tNkQnxGAJ92drlUpVl5wNQwRA67kmOmQcqKWsGiv//yvH Qmovpzpt9qrN0rQFwKGxR+SPJGSI/TtB8qNwc8riA+vzZGDIvUfxNlswAjuS0hpE 61cnc0+P1GBZY3wBCRN8LhyuXKN3sqE0wRlC7k+FGA9Ft51GXKepuLRCwSSpKMnb OZwhQf3a1U4taT392nhQ/TjLJgZrr3ZVGotadS9fykhTWQx4DNgDVoIJAq9oItTY xHVqmrvr6Ky5VSJN+h7aAWGVmkxs49mp5Da+3QODTCFzezci4gxr7BgB03bU1q8d 4fGr/ho13frISzV35FTvASDM4/zAN2mI9iYfpOyx52HC7sLH2cKM6oBhV8QEo/WE wGP7uFEQeziow82kaLoi/pGPDyiXNc8aQPrjgkZhShItyhBmXtQqXTQKii/VpkEy sOppAe5+13UKw+x0iQzo =DmuJ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'perf-core-for-mingo-4.12-20170320' 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: Fixes: - Fix concat_probe_trace_events() in 'perf probe', it should dereference a pointer, not test its value (Ravi Bangoria) User visible changes: - Handle partial AUX records, checking if 'kvm_intel.ko' is loaded and if its 'vmm_exclusive' parameter is set to 0, suggesting tweaking it to reduce gaps (Alexander Shishkin) Infrastructure changes: - Sync the kvm.h, cpufeatures.h and perf_event.h tools/ headers copies with the kernel (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo, Alexander Shishkin) - 'perf lock' subcommands should include common options, using OPT_PARENT() (Changbin Du) - Ditto for 'perf timechart' (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo) Documentation changes: Correct 'perf stat --no-aggr' description (Ravi Bangoria) Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>
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.
