<title>perf tools: Fix the build on the alpine:edge distro</title>

<id>urn:sha1:44fe619b1418ff4e9d2f9518a940fbe2fb686a08</id>
<content type='text'>
The UAPI file byteorder/little_endian.h uses the __always_inline define
without including the header where it is defined, linux/stddef.h, this
ends up working in all the other distros because that file gets included
seemingly by luck from one of the files included from little_endian.h.

But not on Alpine:edge, that fails for all files where perf_event.h is
included but linux/stddef.h isn't include before that.

Adding the missing linux/stddef.h file where it breaks on Alpine:edge to
fix that, in all other distros, that is just a very small header anyway.

<title>perf tools: Fix compilation errors on gcc8</title>

<id>urn:sha1:a09603f851045b031e990d2d663958ccb49db525</id>
<content type='text'>
We are getting following warnings on gcc8 that break compilation:

  $ make
    CC       jvmti/jvmti_agent.o
  jvmti/jvmti_agent.c: In function ‘jvmti_open’:
  jvmti/jvmti_agent.c:252:35: error: ‘/jit-’ directive output may be truncated \
    writing 5 bytes into a region of size between 1 and 4096 [-Werror=format-truncation=]
    snprintf(dump_path, PATH_MAX, "%s/jit-%i.dump", jit_path, getpid());

There's no point in checking the result of snprintf call in
jvmti_open, the following open call will fail in case the
name is mangled or too long.

Using tools/lib/ function scnprintf that touches the return value from
the snprintf() calls and thus get rid of those warnings.

  $ make DEBUG=1
    CC       arch/x86/util/perf_regs.o
  arch/x86/util/perf_regs.c: In function ‘arch_sdt_arg_parse_op’:

  copying 2 bytes from a string of the same length [-Werror=stringop-truncation]
    strncpy(prefix, "+0", 2);
    ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Using scnprintf instead of the strncpy (which we know is safe in here)
to get rid of that warning.

<title>perf tools: Update x86's syscall_64.tbl, adding 'io_pgetevents' and 'rseq'</title>
<updated>2018-06-25T14:59:36Z</updated>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel.git/commit/?id=b1494ec029af6d6ea189cbc96ad66463f8df3579'/>
<id>urn:sha1:b1494ec029af6d6ea189cbc96ad66463f8df3579</id>
<content type='text'>
This updates the tools/perf/ copy of the system call table for x86 which makes
'perf trace' become aware of the new 'io_pgetevents' and 'rseq' syscalls, no
matter in which system it gets built, i.e. older systems where the syscalls are
not available in the running kernel (via tracefs) or in the system headers will
still be aware of these syscalls/.

These are the csets introducing the source drift:

  05c17cedf85b ("x86: Wire up restartable sequence system call")
  7a074e96dee6 ("aio: implement io_pgetevents")

This results in this build time change:

  $ diff -u /tmp/build/perf/arch/x86/include/generated/asm/syscalls_64.c.old /tmp/build/perf/arch/x86/include/generated/asm/syscalls_64.c

This silences the following tools/perf/ build warning:

Like the kernel text, the location of x86 PTI entry trampolines must be
recorded in the perf.data file. Like the kernel, synthesize a mmap event
for that, and add processing for it.

Create maps for x86 PTI entry trampolines, based on symbols found in
kallsyms. It is also necessary to keep track of whether the trampolines
have been mapped particularly when the kernel dso is kcore.

<title>tools/headers: Synchronize kernel ABI headers, v4.17-rc1</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel.git/commit/?id=e2f73a1828e9ffd2765ce1726b9a9c6e022e3cd6'/>
<id>urn:sha1:e2f73a1828e9ffd2765ce1726b9a9c6e022e3cd6</id>
<content type='text'>
Sync the following tooling headers with the latest kernel version:

  tools/arch/arm/include/uapi/asm/kvm.h
    - New ABI: KVM_REG_ARM_*

  tools/arch/x86/include/asm/required-features.h
    - Removal of NEED_LA57 dependency

  tools/arch/x86/include/uapi/asm/kvm.h
    - New KVM ABI: KVM_SYNC_X86_*

  tools/include/uapi/asm-generic/mman-common.h
    - New ABI: MAP_FIXED_NOREPLACE flag

  tools/include/uapi/linux/bpf.h
    - New ABI: BPF_F_SEQ_NUMBER functions

  tools/include/uapi/linux/if_link.h
    - New ABI: IFLA tun and rmnet support

  tools/include/uapi/linux/kvm.h
    - New ABI: hyperv eventfd and CONN_ID_MASK support plus header cleanups

  tools/include/uapi/sound/asound.h
    - New ABI: SNDRV_PCM_FORMAT_FIRST PCM format specifier

  tools/perf/arch/x86/entry/syscalls/syscall_64.tbl
    - The x86 system call table description changed due to the ptregs changes and the renames, in:

	d5a00528b58c: syscalls/core, syscalls/x86: Rename struct pt_regs-based sys_*() to __x64_sys_*()
	5ac9efa3c50d: syscalls/core, syscalls/x86: Clean up compat syscall stub naming convention
	ebeb8c82ffaf: syscalls/x86: Use 'struct pt_regs' based syscall calling for IA32_EMULATION and x32

Also fix the x86 syscall table warning:

  -Warning: Kernel ABI header at 'tools/arch/x86/entry/syscalls/syscall_64.tbl' differs from latest version at 'arch/x86/entry/syscalls/syscall_64.tbl'
  +Warning: Kernel ABI header at 'tools/perf/arch/x86/entry/syscalls/syscall_64.tbl' differs from latest version at 'arch/x86/entry/syscalls/syscall_64.tbl'

None of these changes impact existing tooling code, so we only have to copy the kernel version.

Just like is done for 'mov' and others that can have as source or
targets variables resolved by objdump, to make them more compact:
