Merge branch 'perf-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull perf updates from Ingo Molnar:
"Most of the changes are for tooling, the main changes in this cycle were:
- Improve Intel-PT hardware tracing support, both on the kernel and
on the tooling side: PTWRITE instruction support, power events for
C-state tracing, etc. (Adrian Hunter)
- Add support to measure SMI cost to the x86 architecture, with
tooling support in 'perf stat' (Kan Liang)
- Support function filtering in 'perf ftrace', plus related
improvements (Namhyung Kim)
- Allow adding and removing fields to the default 'perf script'
columns, using + or - as field prefixes to do so (Andi Kleen)
- Allow resolving the DSO name with 'perf script -F brstack{sym,off},dso'
(Mark Santaniello)
- Add perf tooling unwind support for PowerPC (Paolo Bonzini)
- ... and various other improvements as well"
