Merge branch 'perf-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull perf fixes from Thomas Gleixner: "A set of perf related fixes: - fix a CR4.PCE propagation issue caused by usage of mm instead of active_mm and therefore propagated the wrong value. - perf core fixes, which plug a use-after-free issue and make the event inheritance on fork more robust. - a tooling fix for symbol handling" * 'perf-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: perf symbols: Fix symbols__fixup_end heuristic for corner cases x86/perf: Clarify why x86_pmu_event_mapped() isn't racy x86/perf: Fix CR4.PCE propagation to use active_mm instead of mm perf/core: Better explain the inherit magic perf/core: Simplify perf_event_free_task() perf/core: Fix event inheritance on fork() perf/core: Fix use-after-free in perf_release()
