      Pull perf updates from Ingo Molnar:
       "Kernel side changes:
      
         - AMD range breakpoints support:
      
           Extend breakpoint tools and core to support address range through
           perf event with initial backend support for AMD extended
           breakpoints.
      
           The syntax is:
      
               perf record -e mem:addr/len:type
      
           For example set write breakpoint from 0x1000 to 0x1200 (0x1000 + 512)
      
               perf record -e mem:0x1000/512:w
      
         - event throttling/rotating fixes
      
         - various event group handling fixes, cleanups and general paranoia
           code to be more robust against bugs in the future.
      
          - kernel stack overhead fixes
      
        User-visible tooling side changes:
      
         - Show precise number of samples in at the end of a 'record' session,
           if processing build ids, since we will then traverse the whole
           perf.data file and see all the PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE records,
           otherwise stop showing the previous off-base heuristicly counted
           number of "samples" (Namhyung Kim).
      
         - Support to read compressed module from build-id cache (Namhyung
           Kim)
      
         - Enable sampling loads and stores simultaneously in 'perf mem'
           (Stephane Eranian)
      
         - 'perf diff' output improvements (Namhyung Kim)
      
         - Fix error reporting for evsel pgfault constructor (Arnaldo Carvalho
           de Melo)
      
        Tooling side infrastructure changes:
      
         - Cache eh/debug frame offset for dwarf unwind (Namhyung Kim)
      
         - Support parsing parameterized events (Cody P Schafer)
      
         - Add support for IP address formats in libtraceevent (David Ahern)
      
        Plus other misc fixes"

      Pull regulator updates from Mark Brown:
       "This has not been a busy release for the regulator framework, though
        we do have the first parts of some ongoing work from Bjorn Andersson
        to allow us to support more complex modern systems with dynamic
        configuration of regulators in suspend and idle states.
      
         - Support for device-specific properties on regulator nodes when
           using simplified DT parsing in the core from Krzysztof Kozlowski.
      
         - Restructuring of the load tracking code, intended to support future
           improvements in this area for more complex system designs.
      
         - New drivers for Maxim MAX77843 and Mediatek MT6397.
      
         - Lots of smaller fixes and improvements"
