Pull perf updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "Kernel side changes:

   - Add AMD Fam17h RAPL support

   - Introduce CAP_PERFMON to kernel and user space

   - Add Zhaoxin CPU support

   - Misc fixes and cleanups

  Tooling changes:

   - perf record:

     Introduce '--switch-output-event' to use arbitrary events to be
     setup and read from a side band thread and, when they take place a
     signal be sent to the main 'perf record' thread, reusing the core
     for '--switch-output' to take perf.data snapshots from the ring
     buffer used for '--overwrite', e.g.:

	# perf record --overwrite -e sched:* \
		      --switch-output-event syscalls:*connect* \
		      workload

     will take perf.data.YYYYMMDDHHMMSS snapshots up to around the
     connect syscalls.

     Add '--num-synthesize-threads' option to control degree of
     parallelism of the synthesize_mmap() code which is scanning
     /proc/PID/task/PID/maps and can be time consuming. This mimics
     pre-existing behaviour in 'perf top'.

   - perf bench:

     Add a multi-threaded synthesize benchmark and kallsyms parsing
     benchmark.

   - Intel PT support:

     Stitch LBR records from multiple samples to get deeper backtraces,
     there are caveats, see the csets for details.

     Allow using Intel PT to synthesize callchains for regular events.

     Add support for synthesizing branch stacks for regular events
     (cycles, instructions, etc) from Intel PT data.

  Misc changes:

   - Updated perf vendor events for power9 and Coresight.

   - Add flamegraph.py script via 'perf flamegraph'

   - Misc other changes, fixes and cleanups - see the Git log for details

  Also, since over the last couple of years perf tooling has matured and
  decoupled from the kernel perf changes to a large degree, going
  forward Arnaldo is going to send perf tooling changes via direct pull
  requests"
