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

Pull perf updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "The main kernel changes were:

   - add support for Intel's "adaptive PEBS v4" - which embedds LBS data
     in PEBS records and can thus batch up and reduce the IRQ (NMI) rate
     significantly - reducing overhead and making call-graph profiling
     less intrusive.

   - add Intel CPU core and uncore support updates for Tremont, Icelake,

   - extend the x86 PMU constraints scheduler with 'constraint ranges'
     to better support Icelake hw constraints,

   - make x86 call-chain support work better with CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER=y

   - misc other changes

  Tooling changes:

   - updates to the main tools: 'perf record', 'perf trace', 'perf
     stat'

   - updated Intel and S/390 vendor events

   - libtraceevent updates

   - misc other updates and fixes"
