    Merge branch 'perf-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip · 608745f1
    Linus Torvalds authored
    Pull perf updates from Ingo Molnar:
     "The main changes in this cycle on the kernel side were:
    
       - CPU PMU and uncore driver updates to Intel Snow Ridge, IceLake,
         KabyLake, AmberLake and WhiskeyLake CPUs.
    
       - Rework the MSR probing infrastructure to make it more robust, make
         it work better on virtualized systems and to better expose it on
         sysfs.
    
       - Rework PMU attributes group support based on the feedback from
         Greg. The core sysfs patch that adds sysfs_update_groups() was
         acked by Greg.
    
      There's a lot of perf tooling changes as well, all around the place:
    
       - vendor updates to Intel, cs-etm (ARM), ARM64, s390,
    
       - various enhancements to Intel PT tooling support:
          - Improve CBR (Core to Bus Ratio) packets support.
          - Export power and ptwrite events to sqlite and postgresql.
          - Add support for decoding PEBS via PT packets.
          - Add support for samples to contain IPC ratio, collecting cycles
            information from CYC packets, showing the IPC info periodically
          - Allow using time ranges
    
       - lots of updates to perf pmu, perf stat, perf trace, eBPF support,
         perf record, perf diff, etc. - please see the shortlog and Git log
         for details"
