Merge tag 'perf-core-for-mingo-20160718' 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:

 - Properly report when a function wildcard produces no matches in 'perf probe'
   (Masami Hiramatsu)

 - Balance opening and reading events in 'perf stat', which could cause
   it to get stuck trying to close invalid file descriptors (Mark Rutland)

Infrastructure changes:

 - Copy more headers from the kernel, this time for headers that
   were just including the contents of its kernel counterparts, should
   help resolving the problems with linux-next, where some uapi related
   patches seem to be breaking tools/object/ build. (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

   Some more combing will be done, but at least it is possible to build
   perf out of tree, via a detached tarball (make help | grep perf),
   without including kernel files in its MANIFEST (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

 - Fix smatch found errors that were not causing problems, but are
   mistakes nonetheless (Dan Carpenter)

 - Fix string vs. byte array resolving in the python script code (Jiri Olsa)
