Merge branch 'perf-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

Pull perf events update from Ingo Molnar:
 "On the kernel side there's few changes, the one that stands out is
  PEBS machine state sampling support on x86, by Stephane Eranian.

  On the tooling side:

  User visible tooling changes:

   - Don't open the DWARF info multiple times, keeping instead a dwfl
     handle in struct dso, greatly speeding up 'perf report' on powerpc.
     (Sukadev Bhattiprolu)

   - Introduce PARSE_OPT_DISABLED option flag and use it to avoid
     showing undersired options in tools that provides frontends to
     'perf record', like sched, kvm, etc (Namhyung Kim)

   - Fallback to kallsyms when using the minimal 'ELF' loader (Arnaldo
     Carvalho de Melo)

   - Fix annotation with kcore (Adrian Hunter)

   - Support source line numbers in annotate using a hotkey (Andi Kleen)

   - Callchain improvements including:
     * Enable printing the srcline in the history
     * Make get_srcline fall back to sym+offset (Andi Kleen)

   - TUI hist_entry browser fixes, including showing missing overhead
     value for first level callchain.  Detected comparing the output of
     --stdio/--gui (that matched) with --tui, that had this problem.
     (Namhyung Kim)

   - Support handling complete branch stacks as histograms (Andi Kleen)

  Tooling infrastructure changes:

   - Prep work for supporting per-pkg and snapshot counters in 'perf
     stat' (Jiri Olsa)

   - 'perf stat' refactorings, moving stuff from it to evsel.c to use in
     per-pkg/snapshot format changes (Jiri Olsa)

   - Add per-pkg format file parsing (Matt Fleming)

   - Clean up libelf feature support code (Namhyung Kim)

   - Add gzip decompression support for kernel modules (Namhyung Kim)

   - More prep patches for Intel PT, including a a thread stack and more
     stuff made available via the database export mechanism (Adrian
     Hunter)

   - More Intel PT work, including a facility to export sample data
     (comms, threads, symbol names, etc) in a database friendly way,
     with an script to use this to create a postgresql database.
     (Adrian Hunter)

   - Make sure that thread->mg->machine points to the machine where the
     thread exists (it was being set only for the kmaps kernel modules
     case, do it as well for the mmaps) and use it to shorten function
     signatures (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

  ... and lots of other fixes and smaller improvements"
