Merge branch 'perf-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull perf updates from Ingo Molnar: "A number of fixes: - Fix segfault on perf trace -i perf.data, from Namhyung Kim. - Fix segfault with --no-mmap-pages, from David Ahern. - Don't force a refresh during progress update in the TUI, greatly reducing startup costs, fix from Patrick Palka. - Fix sw clock event period test wrt not checking if using > max_sample_freq. - Handle throttle events in 'object code reading' test, fix from Adrian Hunter. - Prevent condition that all sort keys are elided, fix from Namhyung Kim. - Round mmap pages to power 2, from David Ahern. And a number of late arrival changes: - Add summary only option to 'perf trace', suppressing the decoding of events, from David Ahern - 'perf trace --summary' formatting simplifications, from Pekka Enberg. - Beautify fifth argument of mmap() as fd, in 'perf trace', from Namhyung Kim. - Add direct access to dynamic arrays in libtraceevent, from Steven Rostedt. - Synthesize non-exec MMAP records when --data used, allowing the resolution of data addresses to symbols (global variables, etc), by Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo. - Code cleanups by David Ahern and Adrian Hunter" * 'perf-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (23 commits) tools lib traceevent: Add direct access to dynamic arrays perf target: Shorten perf_target__ to target__ perf tests: Handle throttle events in 'object code reading' test perf evlist: Refactor mmap_pages parsing perf evlist: Round mmap pages to power 2 - v2 perf record: Fix segfault with --no-mmap-pages perf trace: Add summary only option perf trace: Simplify '--summary' output perf trace: Change syscall summary duration order perf tests: Compensate lower sample freq with longer test loop perf trace: Fix segfault on perf trace -i perf.data perf trace: Separate tp syscall field caching into init routine to be reused perf trace: Beautify fifth argument of mmap() as fd perf tests: Use lower sample_freq in sw clock event period test perf tests: Check return of perf_evlist__open sw clock event period test perf record: Move existing write_output into helper function perf record: Use correct return type for write() perf tools: Prevent condition that all sort keys are elided perf machine: Simplify synthesize_threads method perf machine: Introduce synthesize_threads method out of open coded equivalent ...
