Merge branch 'perf-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

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"
