Pull perf/core improvements and fixes from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:

'perf test' entries, detected using 'cpptest' (Colin Ian King)
- Add support for the forced leader feature, i.e. 'perf report --group'
for a group of events not really grouped when scheduled (without using
{} to enclose the list of events in the command line) in pipe mode,
e.g.:
$ perf record -e cycles,instructions -o - kill | perf report --group -i -
- Use right type to access array elements in 'perf probe' (Masami Hiramatsu)
- Update POWER9 vendor events (those described in JSON format) (Sukadev Bhattiprolu)
