Merge branch 'perf-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

Pull perf tooling updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "perf.data:

   - Streaming compression of perf ring buffer into
     PERF_RECORD_COMPRESSED user space records, resulting in ~3-5x
     perf.data file size reduction on variety of tested workloads what
     saves storage space on larger server systems where perf.data size
     can easily reach several tens or even hundreds of GiBs, especially
     when profiling with DWARF-based stacks and tracing of context
     switches.

  perf record:

   - Improve -user-regs/intr-regs suggestions to overcome errors

  perf annotate:

   - Remove hist__account_cycles() from callback, speeding up branch
     processing (perf record -b)

  perf stat:

   - Add a 'percore' event qualifier, e.g.: -e
     cpu/event=0,umask=0x3,percore=1/, that sums up the event counts for
     both hardware threads in a core.

     We can already do this with --per-core, but it's often useful to do
     this together with other metrics that are collected per hardware
     thread.

     I.e. now its possible to do this per-event, and have it mixed with
     other events not aggregated by core.

  arm64:

   - Map Brahma-B53 CPUID to cortex-a53 events.

   - Add Cortex-A57 and Cortex-A72 events.

  csky:

   - Add DWARF register mappings for libdw, allowing --call-graph=dwarf
     to work on the C-SKY arch.

  x86:

   - Add support for recording and printing XMM registers, available,
     for instance, on Icelake.

   - Add uncore_upi (Intel's "Ultra Path Interconnect" events) JSON
     support. UPI replaced the Intel QuickPath Interconnect (QPI) in
     Xeon Skylake-SP.

  Intel PT:

   - Fix instructions sampling rate.

   - Timestamp fixes.

   - Improve exported-sql-viewer GUI, allowing, for instance, to
     copy'n'paste the trees, useful for e-mailing"

+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+Trace sequences are used to allow a function to call several other functions
+to create a string of data to use.
+
+The _trace_seq_init()_ function initializes the trace sequence _s_.
+
+The _trace_seq_destroy()_ function destroys the trace sequence _s_ and frees
+all its resources that it had used.
+
+The _trace_seq_reset()_ function re-initializes the trace sequence _s_. All
+characters already written in _s_ will be deleted.
+
+The _trace_seq_terminate()_ function terminates the trace sequence _s_. It puts
+the null character pass:['\0'] at the end of the buffer.
+
+The _trace_seq_putc()_ function puts a single character _c_ in the trace
+sequence _s_.
+
+The _trace_seq_puts()_ function puts a NULL terminated string _str_ in the
+trace sequence _s_.
+
+The _trace_seq_printf()_ function puts a formated string _fmt _with
+variable arguments _..._ in the trace sequence _s_.
+
+The _trace_seq_vprintf()_ function puts a formated string _fmt _with
+list of arguments _args_ in the trace sequence _s_.
+
+The _trace_seq_do_printf()_ function prints the buffer of trace sequence _s_ to
+the standard output stdout.
+
+The _trace_seq_do_fprintf()_ function prints the buffer of trace sequence _s_
+to the given file _fp_.
+
+RETURN VALUE
+------------
+Both _trace_seq_putc()_ and _trace_seq_puts()_ functions return the number of
+characters put in the trace sequence, or 0 in case of an error
+
+Both _trace_seq_printf()_ and _trace_seq_vprintf()_ functions return 0 if the
+trace oversizes the buffer's free space, the number of characters printed, or
+a negative value in case of an error.
+
+Both _trace_seq_do_printf()_ and _trace_seq_do_fprintf()_ functions return the
+number of printed characters, or -1 in case of an error.
