Merge branch 'perf-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

Pull more perf updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "A second round of perf updates:

   - wide reaching kprobes sanitization and robustization, with the hope
     of fixing all 'probe this function crashes the kernel' bugs, by
     Masami Hiramatsu.

   - uprobes updates from Oleg Nesterov: tmpfs support, corner case
     fixes and robustization work.

   - perf tooling updates and fixes from Jiri Olsa, Namhyung Ki, Arnaldo
     et al:
        * Add support to accumulate hist periods (Namhyung Kim)
        * various fixes, refactorings and enhancements"
