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

Pull perf changes from Ingo Molnar:
 "Lots of changes:

   - (much) improved assembly annotation support in perf report, with
     jump visualization, searching, navigation, visual output
     improvements and more.

    - kernel support for AMD IBS PMU hardware features.  Notably 'perf
      record -e cycles:p' and 'perf top -e cycles:p' should work without
      skid now, like PEBS does on the Intel side, because it takes
      advantage of IBS transparently.

    - the libtracevents library: it is the first step towards unifying
      tracing tooling and perf, and it also gives a tracing library for
      external tools like powertop to rely on.

    - infrastructure: various improvements and refactoring of the UI
      modules and related code

    - infrastructure: cleanup and simplification of the profiling
      targets code (--uid, --pid, --tid, --cpu, --all-cpus, etc.)

    - tons of robustness fixes all around

    - various ftrace updates: speedups, cleanups, robustness
      improvements.

    - typing 'make' in tools/ will now give you a menu of projects to
      build and a short help text to explain what each does.

    - ... and lots of other changes I forgot to list.

  The perf record make bzImage + perf report regression you reported
  should be fixed."
