[PATCH 00/55] perf tools: Bugfix, BPF improvements and overwrite ring buffer support

From: Wang Nan
Date: Fri Feb 19 2016 - 07:07:33 EST


Hi Arnaldo,

This is this week's perf BPF and overwrite ring buffer patch set.

Please note that this patch set is based on your perf/core, not
tmp.perf/bpf_map, because there is a bug similar to what Jiri pointed
out in commit 5c78fe3 in the bpf_map branch.

A bug related to newest libbabeltrace is found and fixed. Similar to
commit 5141d73, this fix is safe to old version of libbabeltrace.

The following changes since commit 1a3dcca461e81fbee1e588b2e6e1eae0b2b911d3:

perf stat: Handled scaled == -1 case for counters (2016-02-18 13:50:49 -0300)

perf tools: Don't warn about out of order event if write_backward is used (2016-02-19 11:26:57 +0000)

----------------------------------------------------------------
perf improvements:

- Bug fix: byte order of the first BPF output sample incorrect when
converting to CTF.

- Fix compiling warning Jiri found.

- Improve error messages.
