2009-05-15perf top: update to use the new freq interfacePeter Zijlstra
Provide perf top -F as alternative to -c. [ Impact: new 'perf top' feature ] Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Cc: Corey Ashford <cjashfor@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> LKML-Reference: <20090515132018.707922166@chello.nl> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2009-05-15perf stat: handle Ctrl-CIngo Molnar
Before this change, if a long-running perf stat workload was Ctrl-C-ed, the utility exited without displaying statistics. After the change, the Ctrl-C gets propagated into the workload (and causes its early exit there), but perf stat itself will still continue to run and will display counter results. This is useful to run open-ended workloads, let them run for a while, then Ctrl-C them to get the stats.

2009-05-15perf record: Allow specifying a pid to recordArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
Allow specifying a pid instead of always fork+exec'ing a command. Because the PERF_EVENT_COMM and PERF_EVENT_MMAP events happened before we connected, we must synthesize them so that 'perf report' can get what it needs.

2009-04-21spi: documentation: emphasise spi_master.setup() semanticsDavid Brownell
This is a doc-only patch which I hope will reduce the number of spi_master controller driver patches starting out with a common implementation bug. (As in: almost every spi_master driver I see starts out with its version of this bug. Sigh.) It just re-emphasizes that the setup() method may be called for one device while a transfer is active on another ... which means that most driver implementations shouldn't touch any registers.
