Merge tag 'perf-core-for-mingo-4.11-20170306' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/acme/linux into perf/core

Pull perf/core improvements and fixes from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:

New features:

- Allow sorting by symbol_size in 'perf report' and 'perf top' (Charles Baylis)

  E.g.:

  # perf report -s symbol_size,symbol

  Samples: 9K of event 'cycles:k', Event count (approx.): 2870461623
  Overhead  Symbol size  Symbol
    14.55%          326  [k] flush_tlb_mm_range
     7.20%         1045  [k] filemap_map_pages
     5.82%          124  [k] vma_interval_tree_insert
     5.18%         2430  [k] unmap_page_range
     2.57%          571  [k] vma_interval_tree_remove
     1.94%          494  [k] page_add_file_rmap
     1.82%          740  [k] page_remove_rmap
     1.66%         1017  [k] release_pages
     1.57%         1636  [k] update_blocked_averages
     1.57%           76  [k] unlock_page

- Add support for -p/--pid, -a/--all-cpus and -C/--cpu in 'perf ftrace' (Namhyung Kim)

Change in behaviour:

- Make system wide (-a) the default option if no target was specified and one
  of following conditions is met:

  - No workload specified (current behaviour)

  - A workload is specified but all requested events are system wide ones,
    like uncore ones. (Jiri Olsa)

Fixes:

- Add missing initialization to the instruction decoder used in the
  intel PT/BTS code, which was causing lots of failures in 'perf test',
  looking for a value when there was none (Adrian Hunter)

Infrastructure changes:

- Add arch code needed to adopt the kernel's refcount_t to aid in
  catching bugs when using atomic_t as a reference counter, basically
  cmpxchg related functions (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

- Convert the code using atomic_t as reference counts to refcount_t
  (Elena Rashetova)

- Add feature test for sched_getcpu() to more easily check for its
  presence in the many libc implementations and accross different
  versions of such C libraries (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

- Issue a HW watchdog disable hint in 'perf stat' for when some of the
  requested events can't get counted because a PMU counter is taken by that
  watchdog (Borislav Petkov).

- Add mapping for Intel's KnightsMill PMU events (Karol Wachowski)

Documentation changes:

- Clarify the term 'convergence' in:

   perf bench numa numa-mem -h --show_convergence (Jiri Olsa)

Kernel code changes:

- Ensure probe location is at function entry in kretprobes (Naveen N. Rao)

- Allow return probes with offsets and absolute addresses (Naveen N. Rao)
