Pull perf/core fixes and improvements from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo: kernel + tools/perf: Alexey Budankov: - Introduce CAP_PERFMON to kernel and user space. callchains: Adrian Hunter: - Allow using Intel PT to synthesize callchains for regular events. Kan Liang: - Stitch LBR records from multiple samples to get deeper backtraces, there are caveats, see the csets for details. perf script: Andreas Gerstmayr: - Add flamegraph.py script BPF: Jiri Olsa: - Synthesize bpf_trampoline/dispatcher ksymbol events. perf stat: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo: - Honour --timeout for forked workloads. Stephane Eranian: - Force error in fallback on :k events, to avoid counting nothing when the user asks for kernel events but is not allowed to. perf bench: Ian Rogers: - Add event synthesis benchmark. tools api fs: Stephane Eranian: - Make xxx__mountpoint() more scalable libtraceevent: He Zhe: - Handle return value of asprintf.
