Merge tag 'perf-core-for-mingo' 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: New, user visible features: - Add --buildid-all option to 'perf record' to avoid processing samples, just collecting build-ids for _all_ the DSOs that appears in PERF_RECORD_MMAP records (Namhyung Kim) - Add some more usage tips to appear in the hists browser (top & report) (Namhyung Kim, Andi Kleen) - Fix mmap2 event allocation in synthesize code, where we were allocating space just for PERF_RECORD_MMAP, the older variant, which could lead to corner case problems (Wang Nan) Infrastructure fixes: - Make list.h self-sufficient, removing one more reference to kernel headers that lead to recent breakage when some rculist change was made in the kernel sources. (Josh Poimboeuf) Add missing NORETURN define for parse-options.h in tools/lib/subcmd (Josh Poimboeuf) - Fallback to srcdir/Documentation/ when not finding tips.txt elsewhere (Namhyung Kim) Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>
