Merge tag 'perf-core-for-mingo' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/acme/linux into perf/core
Fixes and improvements for perf/core: . Overhaul the tools/ makefiles, gluing them to the top level Makefile, from Borislav Petkov. . Move the UI files from tools/perf/util/ui/ to tools/perf/ui/. Also move the GTK+ browser to tools/perf/ui/gtk/, from Namhyung Kim. . Only fallback to sw cycles counter on ENOENT for the hw cycles, from Robert Richter . Trivial fixes from Robert Richter . Handle the autogenerated bison/flex files better, from Namhyung and Jiri Olsa. . Navigate jump instructions in the annotate browser, just press enter or ->, still needs support for a jump navigation history, i.e. to go back. . Search string in the annotate browser: same keys as vim: / forward n next backward/forward ? backward . Clarify number of events/samples in the report header, from Ashay Rane Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>
