Merge branch 'perf-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull perf updates from Ingo Molnar: "Most of the changes are for tooling, the main changes in this cycle were: - Improve Intel-PT hardware tracing support, both on the kernel and on the tooling side: PTWRITE instruction support, power events for C-state tracing, etc. (Adrian Hunter) - Add support to measure SMI cost to the x86 architecture, with tooling support in 'perf stat' (Kan Liang) - Support function filtering in 'perf ftrace', plus related improvements (Namhyung Kim) - Allow adding and removing fields to the default 'perf script' columns, using + or - as field prefixes to do so (Andi Kleen) - Allow resolving the DSO name with 'perf script -F brstack{sym,off},dso' (Mark Santaniello) - Add perf tooling unwind support for PowerPC (Paolo Bonzini) - ... and various other improvements as well" * 'perf-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (84 commits) perf auxtrace: Add CPU filter support perf intel-pt: Do not use TSC packets for calculating CPU cycles to TSC perf intel-pt: Update documentation to include new ptwrite and power events perf intel-pt: Add example script for power events and PTWRITE perf intel-pt: Synthesize new power and "ptwrite" events perf intel-pt: Move code in intel_pt_synth_events() to simplify attr setting perf intel-pt: Factor out intel_pt_set_event_name() perf intel-pt: Tidy messages into called function intel_pt_synth_event() perf intel-pt: Tidy Intel PT evsel lookup into separate function perf intel-pt: Join needlessly wrapped lines perf intel-pt: Remove unused instructions_sample_period perf intel-pt: Factor out common code synthesizing event samples perf script: Add synthesized Intel PT power and ptwrite events perf/x86/intel: Constify the 'lbr_desc[]' array and make a function static perf script: Add 'synth' field for synthesized event payloads perf auxtrace: Add itrace option to output power events perf auxtrace: Add itrace option to output ptwrite events tools include: Add byte-swapping macros to kernel.h perf script: Add 'synth' event type for synthesized events x86/insn: perf tools: Add new ptwrite instruction ...

Ranges of CPUs are specified with -: 0-2.
Default is to trace on all online CPUs.
+-T::
+--trace-funcs=::
+ Only trace functions given by the argument. Multiple functions
+ can be given by using this option more than once. The function
+ argument also can be a glob pattern. It will be passed to
+ 'set_ftrace_filter' in tracefs.
+
+-N::
+--notrace-funcs=::
+ Do not trace functions given by the argument. Like -T option,
+ this can be used more than once to specify multiple functions
+ (or glob patterns). It will be passed to 'set_ftrace_notrace'
+ in tracefs.
+
+-G::
+--graph-funcs=::
+ Set graph filter on the given function (or a glob pattern).
+ This is useful for the function_graph tracer only and enables
+ tracing for functions executed from the given function.
+ This can be used more than once to specify multiple functions.
+ It will be passed to 'set_graph_function' in tracefs.
+
+-g::
+--nograph-funcs=::
+ Set graph notrace filter on the given function (or a glob pattern).
+ Like -G option, this is useful for the function_graph tracer only
