Merge tag 'perf-core-for-mingo-20160516' 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:

User visible changes:

- Honour the kernel.perf_event_max_stack knob more precisely by not counting
  PERF_CONTEXT_{KERNEL,USER} when deciding when to stop adding entries to
  the perf_sample->ip_callchain[] array (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

- Fix identation of 'stalled-backend-cycles' in 'perf stat' (Namhyung Kim)

- Update runtime using 'cpu-clock' event in 'perf stat' (Namhyung Kim)

- Use 'cpu-clock' for cpu targets in 'perf stat' (Namhyung Kim)

- Avoid fractional digits for integer scales in 'perf stat' (Andi Kleen)

- Store vdso buildid unconditionally, as it appears in callchains and
  we're not checking those when creating the build-id table, so we
  end up not being able to resolve VDSO symbols when doing analysis
  on a different machine than the one where recording was done, possibly
  of a different arch even (arm -> x86_64) (He Kuang)

Infrastructure changes:

- Generalize max_stack sysctl handler, will be used for configuring
  multiple kernel knobs related to callchains (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

Cleanups:

- Introduce DSO__NAME_KALLSYMS and DSO__NAME_KCORE, to stop using
  open coded strings (Masami Hiramatsu)
