Hi Arnaldo,

   This patch set is based on today's perf/core. It contains 3 parts:

   1. Bugfix in my local tree. Most of them are resent (patch 1 - 17).

   2. BPF related improvement. Also, you should have read them last
      year. Nearly no change (18 - 26).

   3. The most exciting feature I'd like to introduce to you and others:
      perf record overwrite mode support:

      This feature is based on a patch which is discussed but not merged
      yet [1]. I also send it in this series as patch 27. In this patch,
      kernel appends the size of an event at the end of the event data
      in the ring buffer, which enables us reading as much data as
      possible from a overwrite ring buffer, so it works like a flight
      recorder. Patch 28 - 53 add support of it. This is an example:

 # perf record -a -e cycles/overwrite/ \
	          -e raw_syscalls:sys_enter/overwrite/ \
	          -e raw_syscalls:sys_exit/overwrite/ \
	          -e sched:sched_switch/overwrite/ \
                  --switch-output --tail-tracking

 Then send 3 SIGUSR2 to 'perf' in another console:

 # kill -s SIGUSR2 `ps -e | grep 'pts.*perf' | awk '{print $1}'`

 [ perf record: dump data: Woken up 1 times ]
 [ perf record: Dump perf.data.2016011205392208 ]
 [ perf record: dump data: Woken up 1 times ]
 [ perf record: Dump perf.data.2016011205392597 ]
 [ perf record: dump data: Woken up 1 times ]
 [ perf record: Dump perf.data.2016011205392906 ]
 ^C[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
 [ perf record: Dump perf.data.2016011205393040 

 Here's the result:

 # ls -l ./perf.data.* 
  -rw------- 1 root root 4284861 Jan 12 05:39
  ./perf.data.2016011205392208
  -rw------- 1 root root 4578477 Jan 12 05:39
  ./perf.data.2016011205392597
  -rw------- 1 root root 4602757 Jan 12 05:39
  ./perf.data.2016011205392906
  -rw------- 1 root root 5655429 Jan 12 05:39
  ./perf.data.2016011205393040

In each perf.data output, we get about 4M events before it receives
signal.

This should be useful if we have a extra monitor checks performance
metrics. When it found something unusual, it can send a SIGUSR2 to
perf to collect data near the bad things happen.

My next step is trying to trigger event dumping using eBPF. Then we can
triggeer a perf.data output immediately after a system call takes too
long or when we detect a losting of a display update.

Patch 28 - 40 add a switch-output mode, make perf dump a new perf.data
when it receive a SIGUSR2.

Patch 41 - 45 introduce a concept called 'channel', which allows perf to
collect data through more than one group of mmaped ring buffer with different
configurations.

Patch 46 - 53 are the core of flight record mode. Patch 51 does real
reading from flight recorder ring buffer.
