Merge branch 'perf-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull perf fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
"Another pile of fixes for perf:
- Plug overflows and races in the core code
- Sanitize the flow of the perf syscall so we error out before
handling the more complex and hard to undo setups
- Improve and fix Broadwell and Skylake hardware support
- Revert a fix which broke what it tried to fix in perf tools
- A couple of smaller fixes in various places of perf tools"
