Linus Torvalds e0972916e8 Merge branch 'perf-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull perf updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "Features:

   - Add "uretprobes" - an optimization to uprobes, like kretprobes are
     an optimization to kprobes.  "perf probe -x file sym%return" now
     works like kretprobes.  By Oleg Nesterov.

   - Introduce per core aggregation in 'perf stat', from Stephane
     Eranian.

   - Add memory profiling via PEBS, from Stephane Eranian.

   - Event group view for 'annotate' in --stdio, --tui and --gtk, from
     Namhyung Kim.

   - Add support for AMD NB and L2I "uncore" counters, by Jacob Shin.

   - Add Ivy Bridge-EP uncore support, by Zheng Yan

   - IBM zEnterprise EC12 oprofile support patchlet from Robert Richter.

   - Add perf test entries for checking breakpoint overflow signal
     handler issues, from Jiri Olsa.

   - Add perf test entry for for checking number of EXIT events, from
     Namhyung Kim.

   - Add perf test entries for checking --cpu in record and stat, from
     Jiri Olsa.

   - Introduce perf stat --repeat forever, from Frederik Deweerdt.

   - Add --no-demangle to report/top, from Namhyung Kim.

   - PowerPC fixes plus a couple of cleanups/optimizations in uprobes
     and trace_uprobes, by Oleg Nesterov.

  Various fixes and refactorings:

   - Fix dependency of the python binding wrt libtraceevent, from
     Naohiro Aota.

   - Simplify some perf_evlist methods and to allow 'stat' to share code
     with 'record' and 'trace', by Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo.

   - Remove dead code in related to libtraceevent integration, from
     Namhyung Kim.

   - Revert "perf sched: Handle PERF_RECORD_EXIT events" to get 'perf
     sched lat' back working, by Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

   - We don't use Newt anymore, just plain libslang, by Arnaldo Carvalho
     de Melo.

   - Kill a bunch of die() calls, from Namhyung Kim.

   - Fix build on non-glibc systems due to libio.h absence, from Cody P
     Schafer.

   - Remove some perf_session and tracing dead code, from David Ahern.

   - Honor parallel jobs, fix from Borislav Petkov

   - Introduce tools/lib/lk library, initially just removing duplication
     among tools/perf and tools/vm.  from Borislav Petkov

  ... and many more I missed to list, see the shortlog and git log for
  more details."
