Merge tag 'perf-core-for-mingo-20160715' 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:

User visible changes:

 - Allow reading from a backward ring buffer (one setup via sys_perf_event_open()
   with perf_event_attr.write_backward = 1) (Wang Nan)

Infrastructure changes:

 - Fix the build on Android NDK r12b (initially just for ARM), that is now port
   of my perf-build container collection and will get tested prior to sending
   patches upstream (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

 - Add correct header for IPv6 definitions

 - Fix bitsperlong.h fallout (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo, Peter Zijlstra)

 - Use base 0 (auto) in filename__read_ull(), so that we can handle hex values too (Jiri Olsa)

 'perf record --dry-run -e' can act as a BPF script compiler if llvm.dump-obj

+--tail-synthesize::
+Instead of collecting non-sample events (for example, fork, comm, mmap) at
+the beginning of record, collect them during finalizing an output file.
+The collected non-sample events reflects the status of the system when
+record is finished.
+
+--overwrite::
+Makes all events use an overwritable ring buffer. An overwritable ring
+buffer works like a flight recorder: when it gets full, the kernel will
+overwrite the oldest records, that thus will never make it to the
+perf.data file.
+
+When '--overwrite' and '--switch-output' are used perf records and drops
+events until it receives a signal, meaning that something unusual was
+detected that warrants taking a snapshot of the most current events,
+those fitting in the ring buffer at that moment.
+
+'overwrite' attribute can also be set or canceled for an event using
+config terms. For example: 'cycles/overwrite/' and 'instructions/no-overwrite/'.
+
+Implies --tail-synthesize.
