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

Pull perf fixes from Ingo Molnar:
 "A fair chunk of the linecount comes from a fix for a tracing bug that
  corrupts latency tracing buffers when the overwrite mode is changed on
  the fly - the rest is mostly assorted fewliner fixlets."

* 'perf-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
  perf/x86: Add SNB/SNB-EP scheduling constraints for cycle_activity event
  kprobes/x86: Check Interrupt Flag modifier when registering probe
  kprobes: Make hash_64() as always inlined
  perf: Generate EXIT event only once per task context
  perf: Reset hwc->last_period on sw clock events
  tracing: Prevent buffer overwrite disabled for latency tracers
  tracing: Keep overwrite in sync between regular and snapshot buffers
  tracing: Protect tracer flags with trace_types_lock
  perf tools: Fix LIBNUMA build with glibc 2.12 and older.
  tracing: Fix free of probe entry by calling call_rcu_sched()
  perf/POWER7: Create a sysfs format entry for Power7 events
  perf probe: Fix segfault
  libtraceevent: Remove hard coded include to /usr/local/include in Makefile
  perf record: Fix -C option
  perf tools: check if -DFORTIFY_SOURCE=2 is allowed
  perf report: Fix build with NO_NEWT=1
  perf annotate: Fix build with NO_NEWT=1
  tracing: Fix race in snapshot swapping
