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 side changes were:

   - uprobes enhancements (Masami Hiramatsu)

   - Uncore group events enhancements (David Carrillo-Cisneros)

   - x86 Intel: Add support for Skylake server uncore PMUs (Kan Liang)

   - x86 Intel: LBR cleanups and enhancements, for better branch
     annotation tracking (Peter Zijlstra)

   - x86 Intel: Add support for PTWRITE and power event tracing
     (Alexander Shishkin)

   - ... various fixes, cleanups and smaller enhancements.

  Lots of tooling changes - a couple of highlights:

   - Support event group view with hierarchy mode in 'perf top' and
     'perf report' (Namhyung Kim)

     e.g.:

     $ perf record -e '{cycles,instructions}' make
     $ perf report --hierarchy --stdio
     ...
     #   Overhead  Command / Shared Object / Symbol
     # ......................  ..................................
     ...
     25.74%  27.18%sh
     19.96%  24.14%libc-2.24.so
      9.55%  14.64%[.] __strcmp_sse2
      1.54%   0.00%[.] __tfind
      1.07%   1.13%[.] _int_malloc
      0.95%   0.00%[.] __strchr_sse2
      0.89%   1.39%[.] __tsearch
      0.76%   0.00%[.] strlen

   - Add branch stack / basic block info to 'perf annotate --stdio',
     where for each branch, we add an asm comment after the instruction
     with information on how often it was taken and predicted. See
     example with color output at:

       http://vger.kernel.org/~acme/perf/annotate_basic_blocks.png

     (Peter Zijlstra)

   - Add support for using symbols in address filters with Intel PT and
     ARM CoreSight (hardware assisted tracing facilities) (Adrian
     Hunter, Mathieu Poirier)

   - Add support for interacting with Coresight PMU ETMs/PTMs, that are
     IP blocks to perform hardware assisted tracing on a ARM CPU core
     (Mathieu Poirier)

   - Support generating cross arch probes, i.e. if you specify a vmlinux
     file for different arch than the one in the host machine,

        $ perf probe --definition function_name args

     will generate the probe definition string needed to append to the
     target machine /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobes_events file, using
     scripting (Masami Hiramatsu).

   - Allow configuring the default 'perf report -s' sort order in
     ~/.perfconfig, for instance, "sym,dso" may be more fitting for
     kernel developers. (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

   - ... plus lots of other changes, refactorings, features and fixes"
