Merge tag 'perf-core-for-mingo' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/acme/linux into perf/urgent

Pull perf/core improvements and fixes from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:

User visible changes:

  - Add ability to specify to select which registers to record,
    to reduce the size of perf.data files, and also allow printing
    the registers in 'perf script': (Stephane Eranian)

      # perf record --intr-regs=AX,SP usleep 1
      [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
      [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.016 MB perf.data (8 samples) ]
      # perf script -F ip,sym,iregs | tail -5
