  perf bench futex: Add lock_pi stresser (2015-07-20 17:49:51 -0300)

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

New features:

- Allow filtering perf's pid via 'perf record --exclude-perf' (Wang Nan)

- 'perf trace' now supports syscall groups, like strace, i.e:

    $ trace -e file touch file

  Will expand 'file' into multiple, file related, syscalls. More work needed to
  add extra groups for other syscall groups, and also to complement what was
  added for the 'file' group, included as a proof of concept. (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

- Add lock_pi stresser to 'perf bench futex', to test the kernel code
  related to FUTEX_(UN)LOCK_PI (Davidlohr Bueso)

User visible fixes:

- Apply --filter to all events in a glob matching, not just the last one (Wang Nan)

Documentation:

- Document setting '-e pmu/period=N/' in the 'perf record' man page (Kan Liang)

Infrastructure:

- 'perf probe' code simplifications and movements to separate files (Masami Hiramatsu)

- Fix makefile generation under 'dash' (Sergei Trofimovich)
