Merge tag 'perf-core-for-mingo' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/acme/linux into perf/core
Pull perf/core improvements and fixes from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo: . perf build-id cache now can show DSOs present in a perf.data file that are not in the cache, to integrate with build-id servers being put in place by organizations such as Fedora. . perf buildid-list -i an-elf-file-instead-of-a-perf.data is back showing its build-id. . No need to do feature checks when doing a 'make tags' . Fix some 'perf test' errors and make them use the tracepoint evsel constructor. . perf top now shares more of the evsel config/creation routines with 'record', paving the way for further integration like 'top' snapshots, etc. . perf top now supports DWARF callchains. . perf evlist decodes sample_type and read_format, helping diagnose problems. . Fix mmap limitations on 32-bit, fix from David Miller. . perf diff fixes from Jiri Olsa. . Ignore ABS symbols when loading data maps, fix from Namhyung Kim . Hists improvements from Namhyung Kim . Don't check configuration on make clean, from Namhyung Kim . Fix dso__fprintf() print statement, from Stephane Eranian.
