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

Pull perf updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "A larger set of perf updates.

  Not all of them are strictly fixes, but that's solely the tip
  maintainers fault as they let the timely -rc1 pull request fall
  through the cracks for various reasons including travel. So I'm
  sending this nevertheless because rebasing and distangling fixes and
  updates would be a mess and risky as well. As of tomorrow, a strict
  fixes separation is happening again. Sorry for the slip-up.

  Kernel:

   - Handle RECORD_MMAP vs. RECORD_MMAP2 correctly so different
     consumers of the mmap event get what they requested.

  Tools:

   - A larger set of updates to perf record/report/scripts vs. time
     stamp handling

   - More Python3 fixups

   - A pile of memory leak plumbing

   - perf BPF improvements and fixes

   - Finalize the perf.data directory storage"

[ Note: the kernel part is strictly a fix, the updates are purely to
  tooling       - Linus ]

+==========================
+  $ cd tools/perf
+  $ make DESTDIR=/usr
+  $ make DESTDIR=/usr install
+
+AddressSanitizer (or ASan) is a GCC feature that detects memory corruption bugs
+such as buffer overflows and memory leaks.
+
+  $ cd tools/perf
+  $ make DEBUG=1 EXTRA_CFLAGS='-fno-omit-frame-pointer -fsanitize=address'
+  $ ASAN_OPTIONS=log_path=asan.log ./perf record -a
+
+ASan outputs all detected issues into a log file named 'asan.log.<pid>'.
+
+UndefinedBehaviorSanitizer (or UBSan) is a fast undefined behavior detector
+supported by GCC. UBSan detects undefined behaviors of programs at runtime.
+
+  $ cd tools/perf
+  $ make DEBUG=1 EXTRA_CFLAGS='-fno-omit-frame-pointer -fsanitize=undefined'
+  $ UBSAN_OPTIONS=print_stacktrace=1 ./perf record -a
+
+If UBSan detects any problem at runtime, it outputs a “runtime error:” message.
