Merge branch 'perf/core' into perf/uprobes
Merge in latest upstream (and the latest perf development tree), to prepare for tooling changes, and also to pick up v3.4 MM changes that the uprobes code needs to take care of. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>

+Description:
+ Attribute group to describe the magic bits that go into
+ perf_event_attr::config[012] for a particular pmu.
+ Each attribute of this group defines the 'hardware' bitmask
+ we want to export, so that userspace can deal with sane
+ name/value pairs.
+
+ Example: 'config1:1,6-10,44'
+ Defines contents of attribute that occupies bits 1,6-10,44 of
+ perf_event_attr::config1.
