      Merge tag 'perf-core-for-mingo-20161005' 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:
      
      - Intel PT timestamp fixes (Adrian Hunter)
      
      - Fix Intel JSON fixed counter conversions (Andi Kleen)
      
      - Sync memcpy, cpufeatures and bpf headers with the kernel (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
      
      - Add some more tool tips (Donghyun Kim, Kim SeonYoung, Nambong Ha)
      
      - Fix libtraceevent's kbuffer_read_at_offset() handling of offsets before or
        equal the first event (Namhyung Kim)
      
      - Fix uretprobe probe placement on ppc64le (Ravi Bangoria)
      
      - Support building C++ source files and add feature detection for g++,
        prep work for supporting a builtin clang/llvm, to remove the need for having
        that toolchain installed to automagically build BPF scriptlets that then
        gets uploaded to the kernel via sys_bpf() (Wang Nan)

       "The changes in this cycle were:
      
         - Save e820 table RAM footprint on larger kernel configurations.
           (Denys Vlasenko)
      
         - pmem related fixes (Dan Williams)
      
         - theoretical e820 boundary condition fix (Wei Yang)"

        x86/boot: Fix kdump, cleanup aborted E820_PRAM max_pfn manipulation
        x86/e820: Use much less memory for e820/e820_saved, save up to 120k

      Pull low-level x86 updates from Ingo Molnar:
       "In this cycle this topic tree has become one of those 'super topics'
        that accumulated a lot of changes:
      
         - Add CONFIG_VMAP_STACK=y support to the core kernel and enable it on
           x86 - preceded by an array of changes. v4.8 saw preparatory changes
           in this area already - this is the rest of the work. Includes the
           thread stack caching performance optimization. (Andy Lutomirski)
      
         - switch_to() cleanups and all around enhancements. (Brian Gerst)
      
         - A large number of dumpstack infrastructure enhancements and an
           unwinder abstraction. The secret long term plan is safe(r) live
           patching plus maybe another attempt at debuginfo based unwinding -
           but all these current bits are standalone enhancements in a frame
           pointer based debug environment as well. (Josh Poimboeuf)
      
         - More __ro_after_init and const annotations. (Kees Cook)
      
         - Enable KASLR for the vmemmap memory region. (Thomas Garnier)"
      
      [ The virtually mapped stack changes are pretty fundamental, and not
        x86-specific per se, even if they are only used on x86 right now. ]

      perf tools: Support CPU id matching for x86 v2 · f33d1227
      Andi Kleen authored
      Implement the code to match CPU types to mapfile types for x86 based on
      CPUID. This extends an existing similar function, but changes it to use
      the x86 mapfile cpu description.  This allows to resolve event lists
      generated by jevents.
