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: * Don't install scripting files files when perl/python support is disabled. * Support ! in -e expressions in 'perf trace', to filter a list of syscalls. * Add --verbose and -o/--output options to 'perf trace'. * Introduce better formatting of syscall arguments in 'perf trace', including so far beautifiers for mmap, madvise, syscall return values. * Fixup jobserver setup in libtraceevent makefile. * Debug improvements from Adrian Hunter. * Try to increase the file descriptor limits on EMFILE, from Andi Kleen. * Remove unused force option in 'perf kvm', from David Ahern. * Make 'perf trace' command line arguments consistent with 'perf record', from David Ahern. * Fix correlation of samples coming after PERF_RECORD_EXIT event, from David Ahern.
