Pull perf/core improvements and fixes from Arnaldo:

report/script/trace/top:

  Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:

  - Allow specifying marker events demarcating when to consider the other events,
    i.e. one now can state something like:

        # perf probe kernel_function
        # perf record -e cycles,probe:kernel_function

    And then, in 'perf script' or 'perf report' say:

        # perf report --switch-on=probe:kernel_function

    And then the cycles event samples will be considered only after we
    find the first probe:kernel_function event.

    There is also --switch-off=event, to make it stop considering events
    out of some window, say to avoid some winding down of a workload.

    The same can be done with the "live mode" tools: 'perf top' and 'perf trace'.

    There are examples in the cset comments showing how to use it with
    SDT events in things like 'systemtap', that have those tracepoint-like
    events for the start/end of passes, etc.

    Another example involves selecting scheduler events + entry/exit of
    a syscall, using the syscalls tracepoints, one can then see the
    scheduler events that take place while that syscall is being processed.

    In the future this should be possible in record/top/trace via eBPF
    where the perf tools would hook into the marker events and enable events
    put in place but not enabled when the on/off conditions are the desired
    ones, reducing the amount of events sampled, but this userspace only
    solution should be good enough for many scenarios.

perf vendor events intel:

  Haiyan Song:

  - Add Tremontx event file v1.02.

unwind:

  John Keeping:

  - Fix callchain unwinding when tid != pid, that was working only for the
    thread group leader.

    perf unwind: Remove unnecessary test

    If dwarf_callchain_users is false, then unwind__prepare_access() will
    not set unwind_libunwind_ops so the remaining test here is sufficient.
