Hi Ingo,
Please consider pulling, I'll try and be strict from now on wrt
new stuff versus fixes, which will got to a perf/urgent branch.

perf vendor events: Add JSON metrics for Skylake server (2017-09-11 17:22:40 -0300)
----------------------------------------------------------------
perf/core improvements and fixes:
- Support direct --user-regs arguments in 'perf record', previously the
only way to sample PERF_SAMPLE_REGS_USER was implicitly selecting it
when recording callchains (Andi Kleen)
- Support showing sampled user regs in 'perf script' (Andi Kleen)
- Introduce the concept of weak groups in 'perf stat': try to set up a
group, but if it's not schedulable fallback to not using a group. That
gives us the best of both worlds: groups if they work, but still a
usable fallback if they don't. E.g: (Andi Kleen)
% perf stat -e '{branches,branch-misses,l1d.replacement,l2_lines_in.all,l2_rqsts.all_code_rd}:W' -a sleep 1
125,366,055 branches (80.02%)
9,208,402 branch-misses # 7.35% of all branches (80.01%)
24,560,249 l1d.replacement (80.00%)
43,174,971 l2_lines_in.all (80.05%)
31,891,457 l2_rqsts.all_code_rd (79.92%)
- Support metrics in 'stat' and 'list'. A metric is a formula that
uses multiple events to compute a higher level result (e.g. IPC). (Andi Kleen)
- Add Intel processors vendor event metrics JSON files (Andi Kleen)
- Add 'pid' and 'tid' options to 'perf sched timehist' (David Ahern)
- Improve TUI progress bar by showing how many bytes from a total were
processed (Jiri Olsa)
- Make tools/lib/api make DEBUG=1 build use -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 not
to cripple debuginfo, just like tools/perf/ does (Jiri Olsa)
- Avoid leaking the 'perf.data' file to workloads started from the
'perf record' command line by using the O_CLOEXEC open flag (Jiri Olsa)
- Add 'python-clean' make target (Jiri Olsa)
- Use scandir() to replace readdir(), prep work to have the synthesizing
of PERF_RECORD_ entries for existing threads be multithreaded, making
'perf top' bearable on high core count systems such as Intel's Knights
Landing/Mill (Kan Liang)
- Fix building when libunwind's 'unwind.h' file is present in the
include path, clashing with tools/perf/util/unwind.h (Milian Wolff)
- Support running perf binaries with a dash in their name (Milian Wolff)
- Allow creating a ~/.perfconfig file when setting a variable to its
default value, previously it would bail out and not write such a
file (Taeung Song)
- Avoid writing ~/.perfconfig repeatedly when processing changes to
multiple variables (Taeung Song)

Test results:
The first ones are container (docker) based builds of tools/perf with and
without libelf support, objtool where it is supported and samples/bpf/, ditto.
Where clang is available, it is also used to build perf with/without libelf.
Several are cross builds, the ones with -x-ARCH and the android one, and those
may not have all the features built, due to lack of multi-arch devel packages,
available and being used so far on just a few, like
debian:experimental-x-{arm64,mipsel}.
The 'perf test' one will perform a variety of tests exercising
tools/perf/util/, tools/lib/{bpf,traceevent,etc}, as well as run perf commands
with a variety of command line event specifications to then intercept the
sys_perf_event syscall to check that the perf_event_attr fields are set up as
expected, among a variety of other unit tests.
Then there is the 'make -C tools/perf build-test' ones, that build tools/perf/
with a variety of feature sets, exercising the build with an incomplete set of
features as well as with a complete one. It is planned to have it run on each
of the containers mentioned above, using some container orchestration
infrastructure. Get in contact if interested in helping having this in place.
