Hi Ingo,

	Please consider pulling, tested with 'perf test', 'make -C tools/perf
build-test' and building on these userspaces, using docker:

  perf trace: Print unresolved symbol names as addresses (2016-04-11 22:18:25 -0300)

----------------------------------------------------------------
perf/core improvements:

- Automagically create a 'bpf-output' event, easing the setup of BPF
  C "scripts" that produce output via the perf ring buffer. Now it is
  just a matter of calling any perf tool, such as 'trace', with a C
  source file that references the __bpf_stdout__ output channel and
  that channel will be created and connected to the script:

  # trace -e nanosleep --event test_bpf_stdout.c usleep 1
    0.013 ( 0.013 ms): usleep/2818 nanosleep(rqtp: 0x7ffcead45f40                                        ) ...
    0.013 (         ): __bpf_stdout__:Raise a BPF event!..)
    0.015 (         ): perf_bpf_probe:func_begin:(ffffffff81112460))
    0.261 (         ): __bpf_stdout__:Raise a BPF event!..)
    0.262 (         ): perf_bpf_probe:func_end:(ffffffff81112460 <- ffffffff81003d92))
    0.264 ( 0.264 ms): usleep/2818  ... [continued]: nanosleep()) = 0
  #

  Further work is needed to reduce the number of lines in a perf bpf C source
  file, this being the part where we greatly reduce the command line setup (Wang Nan)

- 'perf trace' now supports callchains, with 'trace --call-graph dwarf' using
  libunwind, just like 'perf top', to ask the kernel for stack dumps for CFI
  processing. This reduces the overhead by asking just for userspace callchains
  and also only for the syscall exit tracepoint (raw_syscalls:sys_exit)
  (Milian Wolff, Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

  Try it with, for instance:

     # perf trace --call dwarf ping 127.0.0.1

  An excerpt of a system wide 'perf trace --call dwarf" session is at:

   https://fedorapeople.org/~acme/perf/perf-trace--call-graph-dwarf--all-cpus.txt

  You may need to bump the number of mmap pages, using -m/--mmap-pages,
  but on a Broadwell machine the defaults allowed system wide tracing to
  work without losing that many records, experiment with just some
  syscalls, like:

    # perf trace --call dwarf -e nanosleep,futex

  All the targets available for 'perf record', 'perf top' (--pid, --tid, --cpu,
  etc) should work. Also --duration may be interesting to try.

  To get filenames from in various syscalls pointer args (open, ettc), add this
  to the mix:

  # perf probe 'vfs_getname=getname_flags:72 pathname=filename:string'

  Making this work is next in line:

     # trace --call dwarf --ev sched:sched_switch/call-graph=fp/ usleep 1

  I.e. honouring per-tracepoint callchains in 'perf trace' in addition to
  in raw_syscalls:sys_exit.
