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>

+ * Deferred Probe infrastructure.
+ *
+ * Sometimes driver probe order matters, but the kernel doesn't always have
+ * dependency information which means some drivers will get probed before a
+ * resource it depends on is available. For example, an SDHCI driver may
+ * first need a GPIO line from an i2c GPIO controller before it can be
+ * initialized. If a required resource is not available yet, a driver can
+ * request probing to be deferred by returning -EPROBE_DEFER from its probe hook
+ *
+ * Deferred probe maintains two lists of devices, a pending list and an active
+ * list. A driver returning -EPROBE_DEFER causes the device to be added to the
+ * pending list. A successful driver probe will trigger moving all devices
+ * from the pending to the active list so that the workqueue will eventually
+ * retry them.
+ *
+ * The deferred_probe_mutex must be held any time the deferred_probe_*_list
+ * of the (struct device*)->p->deferred_probe pointers are manipulated
