Merge tag 'perf-core-for-mingo-4.14-20170823' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/acme/linux into perf/core
Pull perf/core improvements and fixes from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:
- Expression parser enhancements for metrics (Andi Kleen)
- Fix buffer overflow while freeing events in 'perf stat' (Andi Kleen)
- Fix static linking with elfutils's libdf and with libunwind
in Debian/Ubuntu (Konstantin Khlebnikov)
- Tighten detection of BPF events, avoiding matching some other PMU
events such as 'cpu/uops_executed.core,cmask=1/' as a .c source
file that ended up being considered a BPF event (Andi Kleen)
- Add Skylake server uncore JSON vendor events (Andi Kleen)
- Add support for printing new mem_info encodings, including
'perf test' checks (Andi Kleen)
- Really install manpages via 'make install-man' (Konstantin Khlebnikov)
- Fix documentation for perf_event_paranoid and perf_event_mlock_kb
sysctls (Konstantin Khlebnikov)
