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:

  * Check maximum frequency rate for record/top, emitting better error
    messages, from Jiri Olsa.

  * Disable live kvm command if timerfd is not supported, from David Ahern.

  * Add usage to 'perf list', from David Ahern.

  * Fix detection of non-core features, from David Ahern.

  * Consolidate __hists__add_*entry(), cleanup from Namhyung Kim.
