Ingo Molnar 6854daa07a perf/core improvements and fixes:
Hardware tracing:
 
   Adrian Hunter:
 
   - Handle calls optimized into jumps to a different symbol
     in the thread stack routines used to process hardware traces (Adrian Hunter)
 
 Intel PT:
 
   Adrian Hunter:
 
   - Fix overlap calculation for padding.
 
   - Fix CYC timestamp calculation after OVF.
 
   - Packet splitting can only happen in 32-bit.
 
   - Add timestamp to auxtrace errors.
 
 ARM CoreSight:
 
   Leo Yan:
 
   - Add last instruction information in packet
 
   - Set sample flags for instruction range, exception and
     return packets and for a trace discontinuity.
 
   - Add exception number in exception packet
 
   - Change tuple from traceID-CPU# to traceID-metadata
 
   - Add traceID in packet
 
   Mathieu Poirier:
 
   - Add "sinks" group to PMU directory
 
   - Use event attributes to send sink information to kernel
 
   - Remove set_drv_config() API, no longer used.
 
 perf annotate:
 
   Jiri Olsa:
 
   - Delay symbol annotation to the resort phase, speeding up 'perf report'
     startup.
 
 perf record:
 
   Alexey Budankov:
 
   - Allow binding userspace buffers to NUMA nodes.
 
 Symbols:
 
   Adrian Hunter:
 
   - Fix calculating of symbol sizes when splitting kallsyms into
     maps for kcore processing.
 
 Vendor events:
 
   William Cohen:
 
   - Intel: Fix Load_Miss_Real_Latency on CLX
 
 Misc:
 
   Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:
 
   - Streamline headers, removing includes when all that is needed are
     just forward declarations, fixup the fallout for cases where headers
     should have been explicitely included but were instead obtained
     indirectly, by sheer luck.
 
   - Add fallback versions for CPU_{OR,EQUAL}(), so that code using it
     continue to build on older systems where those were not yet introduced
     or in systems using some other libc than the GNU one where those
     helpers aren't present.
 
 Documentation:
 
   Changbin Du:
 
   - Add documentation for BPF event selection.
