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:

User visible changes:

 - Add 'perf record' --all-user/--all-kernel options, so that one can tell
   that all the events in the command line should be restricted to the user
   or kernel levels (Jiri Olsa), i.e.:

	perf record -e cycles:u,instructions:u

   is equivalent to:

        perf record --all-user -e cycles,instructions

 - Fix percentage update on key press, due to the buffering code
   (that creates hist_entries that will later be consumed) touching
   per hists state that is used by the display thread (Namhyung Kim)

 - Bail out when event modifiers not supported by 'perf stat' are
   specified, i.e.: (Wang Nan)

   # perf stat -e cycles/no-inherit/ usleep 1
   event syntax error: 'cycles/no-inherit/'
                        \___ 'no-inherit' is not usable in 'perf stat'
   # perf stat -e cycles/foo/ usleep 1
   event syntax error: 'cycles/foo/'
                               \___ unknown term

   valid terms: config,config1,config2,name
   #

 - Enable setting names for legacy cache, raw and numeric events, e.g: (Wang Nan)

   # perf record -e cycles -e 4:0x6530160/name=evtx,call-graph=fp/ -a sleep 1
   [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
   [ perf record: Captured and wrote 1.659 MB perf.data (844 samples) ]
   # perf evlist
   cycles
   evtx
   #

Miscelaneous/Infrastructure changes:

 - Handled scaled == -1 case for counters in 'perf stat', fixing
   recent, only in perf/core, regression (Andi Kleen)

 - Reference count the cpu and thread maps at set_maps(), fixing the
   'object code reading' 'perf test' entry when it was requesting a
   perf_event_attr.sample_freq > /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_sample_rate
   (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

 - Improve perf_evlist__strerror_open() to provide hints for -EINVAL due
   to perf_event_attr.sample_freq > /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_sample_rate
   (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

 - Add checks to various callchain and histogram routines (Namhyung Kim)

 - Fix checking asprintf return value when parsing additional event config terms (Wang Nan)
