Pull perf updates from Ingo Molnar:
"Kernel side changes:
- Improved kbprobes robustness
- Intel PEBS support for PT hardware tracing
- Other Intel PT improvements: high order pages memory footprint
reduction and various related cleanups
- Misc cleanups
The perf tooling side has been very busy in this cycle, with over 300
commits. This is an incomplete high-level summary of the many
improvements done by over 30 developers:
- Lots of updates to the following tools:
'perf c2c'
'perf config'
'perf record'
'perf report'
'perf script'
'perf test'
'perf top'
'perf trace'
- Updates to libperf and libtraceevent, and a consolidation of the
proliferation of x86 instruction decoder libraries.
- Vendor event updates for Intel and PowerPC CPUs,
- Updates to hardware tracing tooling for ARM and Intel CPUs,
- ... and lots of other changes and cleanups - see the shortlog and
Git log for details"
