New features:
- Support AArch64 in the 'annotate' code, native/local and
cross-arch/remote (Kim Phillips)

'--time start.s.ms,end.s.ms' command line, added to 'perf kmem',

Infrastructure:
- Add initial support (and perf test entry) for tooling hooks, starting with
'record_start' and 'record_end', that will have as its initial user the
eBPF infrastructure, where perf_ prefixed functions will be JITed and
run when such hooks are called (Wang Nan)

(Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
