New features:
- Allow sorting by symbol_size in 'perf report' and 'perf top' (Charles Baylis)
E.g.:
# perf report -s symbol_size,symbol
Samples: 9K of event 'cycles:k', Event count (approx.): 2870461623
Overhead Symbol size Symbol
14.55% 326 [k] flush_tlb_mm_range
7.20% 1045 [k] filemap_map_pages
5.82% 124 [k] vma_interval_tree_insert
5.18% 2430 [k] unmap_page_range
2.57% 571 [k] vma_interval_tree_remove
1.94% 494 [k] page_add_file_rmap
1.82% 740 [k] page_remove_rmap
1.66% 1017 [k] release_pages
1.57% 1636 [k] update_blocked_averages
1.57% 76 [k] unlock_page
- Add support for -p/--pid, -a/--all-cpus and -C/--cpu in 'perf ftrace' (Namhyung Kim)
Change in behaviour:
- Make system wide (-a) the default option if no target was specified and one
of following conditions is met:
- No workload specified (current behaviour)
- A workload is specified but all requested events are system wide ones,
like uncore ones. (Jiri Olsa)
Fixes:
- Add missing initialization to the instruction decoder used in the
intel PT/BTS code, which was causing lots of failures in 'perf test',
looking for a value when there was none (Adrian Hunter)
Infrastructure:
- Add arch code needed to adopt the kernel's refcount_t to aid in
catching bugs when using atomic_t as a reference counter, basically
cmpxchg related functions (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- Convert the code using atomic_t as reference counts to refcount_t
(Elena Rashetova)
- Add feature test for sched_getcpu() to more easily check for its
presence in the many libc implementations and accross different
versions of such C libraries (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- Issue a HW watchdog disable hint in 'perf stat' for when some of the
requested events can't get counted because a PMU counter is taken by that
watchdog (Borislav Petkov).
- Add mapping for Intel's KnightsMill PMU events (Karol Wachowski)
Documentation:
- Clarify the term 'convergence' in:
perf bench numa numa-mem -h --show_convergence (Jiri Olsa)
Kernel code:
- Ensure probe location is at function entry in kretprobes (Naveen N. Rao)
- Allow return probes with offsets and absolute addresses (Naveen N. Rao)
