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

Pull perf updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "Lots of tooling updates - too many to list, here's a few highlights:

   - Various subcommand updates to 'perf trace', 'perf report', 'perf
     record', 'perf annotate', 'perf script', 'perf test', etc.

   - CPU and NUMA topology and affinity handling improvements,

   - HW tracing and HW support updates:
      - Intel PT updates
      - ARM CoreSight updates
      - vendor HW event updates

   - BPF updates

   - Tons of infrastructure updates, both on the build system and the
     library support side

   - Documentation updates.

   - ... and lots of other changes, see the changelog for details.

  Kernel side updates:

   - Tighten up kprobes blacklist handling, reduce the number of places
     where developers can install a kprobe and hang/crash the system.

   - Fix/enhance vma address filter handling.

   - Various PMU driver updates, small fixes and additions.

   - refcount_t conversions

   - BPF updates

   - error code propagation enhancements

   - misc other changes"
