Merge branch 'perf-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull perf tooling updates from Ingo Molnar:
"perf.data:
- Streaming compression of perf ring buffer into
PERF_RECORD_COMPRESSED user space records, resulting in ~3-5x
perf.data file size reduction on variety of tested workloads what
saves storage space on larger server systems where perf.data size
can easily reach several tens or even hundreds of GiBs, especially
when profiling with DWARF-based stacks and tracing of context
switches.
perf record:
- Improve -user-regs/intr-regs suggestions to overcome errors
perf annotate:
- Remove hist__account_cycles() from callback, speeding up branch
processing (perf record -b)
perf stat:
- Add a 'percore' event qualifier, e.g.: -e
cpu/event=0,umask=0x3,percore=1/, that sums up the event counts for
both hardware threads in a core.
We can already do this with --per-core, but it's often useful to do
