Merge tag 'perf-core-for-mingo-5.5-20190925' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/acme/linux into perf/urgent
Pull perf/core improvements and fixes from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo: perf record: Stephane Eranian: - Fix priv level with branch sampling for paranoid=2, i.e. the kernel checks if perf_event_attr_attr.exclude_hv is set in addition to .exclude_kernel, so reset both to zero. Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo: - Don't warn about not being able to read kernel maps (kallsyms, etc) when kernel samples aren't being collected. perf list: Kim Phillips: - Allow plurals for metric, metricgroup., i.e.: $ perf list metrics was showing nothing, which is very confusing, make it work like: $ perf stat metric perf stat: Andi Kleen: - Free memory access/leaks detected via valgrind, related to metrics. Libraries: libperf: Jiri Olsa: - Move more stuff from tools/perf, this time a first stab at moving perf_mmap methods. libtracevent: Steven Rostedt (VMware): - Round up in tep_print_event() time precision. Tzvetomir Stoyanov (VMware): - Man pages for event print and related and plugins APIs. - Move traceevent plugins in its own subdirectory. Feature detection: Thomas Richter: - Add detection of java-11-openjdk-devel package, in addition to the older versions supported. Architecture specific: S/390: Thomas Richter (2): - Include JVMTI support for s390 Vendor events: AMD: Kim Phillips: - Add L3 cache events for Family 17h. - Remove redundant '['. PowerPC: Mamatha Inamdar: - Remove P8 HW events which are not supported. Cleanups: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo: - Remove needless headers, add needed ones, move things around to reduce the headers dependency tree, speeding up builds by not doing needless compiles when unrelated stuff gets changed. - Ditch unused code that was dragging headers.
