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>

+ * Memory barrier.
+ * The sync instruction guarantees that all memory accesses initiated
+ * by this processor have been performed (with respect to all other
+ * mechanisms that access memory). The eieio instruction is a barrier
+ * providing an ordering (separately) for (a) cacheable stores and (b)
+ * loads and stores to non-cacheable memory (e.g. I/O devices).
+ *
+ * mb() prevents loads and stores being reordered across this point.
+ * rmb() prevents loads being reordered across this point.
+ * wmb() prevents stores being reordered across this point.
+ * read_barrier_depends() prevents data-dependent loads being reordered
+ * across this point (nop on PPC).
+ *
+ * *mb() variants without smp_ prefix must order all types of memory
+ * operations with one another. sync is the only instruction sufficient
+ * to do this.
+ *
+ * For the smp_ barriers, ordering is for cacheable memory operations
+ * only. We have to use the sync instruction for smp_mb(), since lwsync
+ * doesn't order loads with respect to previous stores. Lwsync can be
+ * used for smp_rmb() and smp_wmb().
+ *
+ * However, on CPUs that don't support lwsync, lwsync actually maps to a
+ * heavy-weight sync, so smp_wmb() can be a lighter-weight eieio.
