       - Fix printing 'phys_addr' in 'perf script'.
      
       - Fix failure to add events with 'perf probe' in ppc64 due to not
         removing leading dot (ppc64 ABIv1).
      
       - Fix cpu_map__item() python binding building.
      
       - Support event alias in form foo-bar-baz, add pmu-events and
         parse-event tests for it.
      
       - No need to setup affinities when starting a workload or attaching to
         a pid.
      
       - Use path__join() to compose a path instead of ad-hoc snprintf()
         equivalent.
      
       - Override attr->sample_period for non-libpfm4 events.
      
       - Use libperf cpumap APIs instead of accessing the internal state
         directly.
      
       - Sync x86 arch prctl headers and files changed by the new
         set_mempolicy_home_node syscall with the kernel sources.

      Pull ftrace fix from Steven Rostedt:
       "Fix s390 breakage from sorting mcount tables.
      
        The latest merge of the tracing tree sorts the mcount table at build
        time. But s390 appears to do things differently (like always) and
        replaces the sorted table back to the original unsorted one. As the
        ftrace algorithm depends on it being sorted, bad things happen when it
        is not, and s390 experienced those bad things.
      
        Add a new config to tell the boot if the mcount table is sorted or
        not, and allow s390 to opt out of it"

      ftrace: Fix assuming build time sort works for s390 · 6b9b6413

      To speed up the boot process, as mcount_loc needs to be sorted for ftrace
      to work properly, sorting it at build time is more efficient than boot up
      and can save milliseconds of time. Unfortunately, this change broke s390
      as it will modify the mcount_loc location after the sorting takes place
      and will put back the unsorted locations. Since the sorting is skipped at
      boot up if it is believed that it was sorted at run time, ftrace can crash
      as its algorithms are dependent on the list being sorted.
      
      Add a new config BUILDTIME_MCOUNT_SORT that is set when
      BUILDTIME_TABLE_SORT but not if S390 is set. Use this config to determine
      if sorting should take place at boot up.
