Merge tag 'perf-core-for-mingo-20160523' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/acme/linux into perf/urgent
Pull perf/core improvements from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:
User visible changes:
- Add "srcline_from" and "srcline_to" branch sort keys to 'perf top' and
'perf report' (Andi Kleen)
Infrastructure changes:
- Make 'perf trace' auto-attach fd->name and ptr->name beautifiers based
on the name of syscall arguments, this way new syscalls that have
'const char * (path,pathname,filename)' will use the fd->name beautifier
(vfs_getname perf probe, if in place) and the 'fd->name' (vfs_getname
or via /proc/PID/fd/) (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- Infrastructure to read from a ring buffer in backward write mode (Wang Nan)
