Hi Ingo,

Please consider pulling, more to come as I go thru Adrian's x86
PTI series and the C++ support improvements to 'perf probe', from
Holger,

Best Regards,

- Arnaldo

Test results at the end of this message, as usual.

perf bpf: Fix NULL return handling in bpf__prepare_load() (2018-05-16 10:01:55 -0300)

----------------------------------------------------------------
perf/core improvements and fixes:

- Add '-e intel_pt//u' test to the 'parse-events' 'perf test' entry,
to help avoiding regressions in the events parser such as one
that caused a revert in v4.17-rc (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

- Fix NULL return handling in bpf__prepare_load() (YueHaibing)

- Warn about 'perf buildid-cache --purge-all' failures (Ravi Bangoria)

- Add infrastructure to help in writing eBPF C programs to be used
with '-e name.c' type events in tools such as 'record' and 'trace',
with headers for common constructs and an examples directory that
will get populated as we add more such helpers and the 'perf bpf'
branch that Jiri Olsa has been working on (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

- Handle uncore event aliases in small groups properly (Kan Liang)

- Use the "_stest" symbol to identify the kernel map when loading kcore (Adrian Hunter)

Test results:

The first ones are container (docker) based builds of tools/perf with
and without libelf support. Where clang is available, it is also used
to build perf with/without libelf, and building with LIBCLANGLLVM=1
(built-in clang) with gcc and clang when clang and its devel libraries
are installed.

The objtool and samples/bpf/ builds are disabled now that I'm switching from
using the sources in a local volume to fetching them from a http server to
build it inside the container, to make it easier to build in a container cluster.
Those will come back later.

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.
