* 'perf-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/linux-2.6-tip:
  perf tools: Fix sample size bit operations
  perf tools: Fix ommitted mmap data update on remap
  watchdog: Change the default timeout and configure nmi watchdog period based on watchdog_thresh
  watchdog: Disable watchdog when thresh is zero
  watchdog: Only disable/enable watchdog if neccessary
  watchdog: Fix rounding bug in get_sample_period()
  perf tools: Propagate event parse error handling
  perf tools: Robustify dynamic sample content fetch
  perf tools: Pre-check sample size before parsing
  perf tools: Move evlist sample helpers to evlist area
  perf tools: Remove junk code in mmap size handling
  perf tools: Check we are able to read the event size on mmap
