Linus Torvalds 31486372a1 Merge branch 'perf-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull perf updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "The main changes in this cycle were:

  Kernel:

   - kprobes updates: use better W^X patterns for code modifications,
     improve optprobes, remove jprobes. (Masami Hiramatsu, Kees Cook)

   - core fixes: event timekeeping (enabled/running times statistics)
     fixes, perf_event_read() locking fixes and cleanups, etc. (Peter
     Zijlstra)

   - Extend x86 Intel free-running PEBS support and support x86
     user-register sampling in perf record and perf script. (Andi Kleen)

  Tooling:

   - Completely rework the way inline frames are handled. Instead of
     querying for the inline nodes on-demand in the individual tools, we
     now create proper callchain nodes for inlined frames. (Milian
     Wolff)

   - 'perf trace' updates (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

   - Implement a way to print formatted output to per-event files in
     'perf script' to facilitate generate flamegraphs, elliminating the
     need to write scripts to do that separation (yuzhoujian, Arnaldo
     Carvalho de Melo)

   - Update vendor events JSON metrics for Intel's Broadwell, Broadwell
     Server, Haswell, Haswell Server, IvyBridge, IvyTown, JakeTown,
     Sandy Bridge, Skylake, SkyLake Server - and Goldmont Plus V1 (Andi
     Kleen, Kan Liang)

   - Multithread the synthesizing of PERF_RECORD_ events for
     pre-existing threads in 'perf top', speeding up that phase, greatly
     improving the user experience in systems such as Intel's Knights
     Mill (Kan Liang)

   - Introduce the concept of weak groups in 'perf stat': try to set up
     a group, but if it's not schedulable fallback to not using a group.
     That gives us the best of both worlds: groups if they work, but
     still a usable fallback if they don't. E.g: (Andi Kleen)

   - perf sched timehist enhancements (David Ahern)

   - ... various other enhancements, updates, cleanups and fixes"
