  uprobes: Fix handle_swbp() vs. unregister() + register() race once more (2018-11-23 08:31:19 +0100)

----------------------------------------------------------------
perf/core improvements and fixes:

- Introduce 'perf record --aio' to use asynchronous IO trace writing in
  'perf record' disabled by default, i.e. one needs to explicitly use
  'perf record --aio' to use it, in which case the number of AIO aiocb
  structs will be one, specify 'perf record --aio=N' to ask for more,
  according to your needs, related to the number of processors in your
  machine. Reports about the effectiveness of this option are welcome
  so that we can decide on making it the default mode of operation. Read
  the respective patches commit logs for further information (Alexey Budankov)

- Add fallback routines to be used in places where we don't have the cpu mode
  (kernel/user space/hypervisor) and thus must first fallback lookups looking
  at all map trees when trying to resolve symbols (Adrian Hunter)

- Introduce 'perf top --kallsyms file' to match 'perf report --kallsyms', useful
  when dealing with BPF, where symbol resolution happens via kallsyms, not via
  the default vmlinux ELF symtabs (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

- Fix CSV mode column output for non-cgroup events in 'perf stat' (Stephane Eranian)

- Fix 'perf stat' shadow stats for clock events. (Ravi Bangoria)

- Fix error with config term "pt=0", where we should just force "pt=1" and
  warn the user about the former being non-sensical (Adrian Hunter)

- Fix 'perf test' entry where we expect 'sleep' to come in a PERF_RECORD_COMM
  but instead we get 'coreutils' when sleep is provided by some versions of
  the 'coreutils' package (Adrian Hunter)

- Remove needless rb_tree extra indirection from map__find() (Eric Saint-Etienne)

- Add sanity check to libtraceevent's is_timestamp_in_us() (Tzvetomir Stoyanov)

- Use ERR_CAST instead of ERR_PTR(PTR_ERR()) (Wen Yang)

XXX: Investigation on the watchpoint and breakpoint 'perf test' failures is
     underway, doesn't look like related to patches in this batch.

The first ones are container (docker) based builds of tools/perf with
and without libelf support.  Where clang is available, it is also used
to build perf with/without libelf, and building with LIBCLANGLLVM=1
(built-in clang) with gcc and clang when clang and its devel libraries
are installed.

The objtool and samples/bpf/ builds are disabled now that I'm switching from
using the sources in a local volume to fetching them from a http server to
build it inside the container, to make it easier to build in a container cluster.
Those will come back later.

Several are cross builds, the ones with -x-ARCH and the android one, and those
may not have all the features built, due to lack of multi-arch devel packages,
available and being used so far on just a few, like
debian:experimental-x-{arm64,mipsel}.

The 'perf test' one will perform a variety of tests exercising
tools/perf/util/, tools/lib/{bpf,traceevent,etc}, as well as run perf commands
with a variety of command line event specifications to then intercept the
sys_perf_event syscall to check that the perf_event_attr fields are set up as
expected, among a variety of other unit tests.

Then there is the 'make -C tools/perf build-test' ones, that build tools/perf/
with a variety of feature sets, exercising the build with an incomplete set of
features as well as with a complete one. It is planned to have it run on each
of the containers mentioned above, using some container orchestration
infrastructure. Get in contact if interested in helping having this in place.
