Merge tag 'perf-core-for-mingo-5.5-
20191112' of git://git./linux/kernel/git/acme/linux into perf/core
Pull perf/core improvements and fixes from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:
perf record:
Ravi Bangoria:
- Provide an option to print perf_event_open args and syscall return value.
This was already possible using -v, but then lots of other debug info
would be output as well, provide a way to show just the syscall args
and return value, e.g.:
# perf --debug perf-event-open=1 record
perf_event_attr:
size 112
{ sample_period, sample_freq } 4000
sample_type IP|TID|TIME|PERIOD
read_format ID
disabled 1
inherit 1
<SNIP>
ksymbol 1
bpf_event 1

sys_perf_event_open: pid 4308 cpu 0 group_fd -1 flags 0x8 = 4
core:
- Remove map->groups, we can get that information in other ways, reduces
the size of a key data structure and paves the way to have it shared
by multiple threads.
- Use 'struct map_symbol' in more places, where we already were using a
'struct map' + 'struct symbol', this helps passing that usual pair of
information across callchain, browser code, etc.
- Add 'struct map_groups' (where the map_symbol->map is) to 'struct map_symbol',
to ease annotation code, for instance, where we call from functions in one map
we're browsing to functions in another DSO, mapped in another 'struct map'.
event parsing:
Ian Rogers:
- Use YYABORT to clear stack after failure, plugging leaks
