Merge branch 'perf-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull perf updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"Perf tool updates and kprobe fixes:
- perf_mmap overwrite mode fixes/overhaul, prep work to get 'perf
top' using it, making it bearable to use it in large core count
systems such as Knights Landing/Mill Intel systems (Kan Liang)
- s/390 now uses syscall.tbl, just like x86-64 to generate the
syscall table id -> string tables used by 'perf trace' (Hendrik
Brueckner)
- Use strtoull() instead of home grown function (Andy Shevchenko)
- Synchronize kernel ABI headers, v4.16-rc1 (Ingo Molnar)
- Document missing 'perf data --force' option (Sangwon Hong)
- Add perf vendor JSON metrics for ARM Cortex-A53 Processor (William
Cohen)
- Improve error handling and error propagation of ftrace based
kprobes so failures when installing kprobes are not silently
ignored and create disfunctional tracepoints"
