Pull perf updates from Arnaldo:

perf/core improvements and fixes:

perf record:

  - Introduce --switch-output-event to use arbitrary events to be setup
    and read from a side band thread and, when they take place a signal
    be sent to the main 'perf record' thread, reusing the --switch-output
    code to take perf.data snapshots from the --overwrite ring buffer, e.g.:

	# perf record --overwrite -e sched:* \
		      --switch-output-event syscalls:*connect* \
		      workload

    will take perf.data.YYYYMMDDHHMMSS snapshots up to around the
    connect syscalls.

  Stephane Eranian:

  - Add --num-synthesize-threads option to control degree of parallelism of the
    synthesize_mmap() code which is scanning /proc/PID/task/PID/maps and can be
    time consuming. This mimics pre-existing behaviour in 'perf top'.

Intel PT:

  Adrian Hunter:

  - Add support for synthesizing branch stacks for regular events (cycles,
    instructions, etc) from Intel PT data.

perf bench:

  Ian Rogers:

  - Add a multi-threaded synthesize benchmark.

  - Add kallsyms parsing benchmark.

  Tommi Rantala:

  - Fix div-by-zero if runtime is zero.

perf synthetic events:

  - Remove use of sscanf from /proc reading when parsing pre-existing
    threads to generate synthetic PERF_RECORD_{FORK,MMAP,COMM,etc} events.

tools api:

  - Add a lightweight buffered reading API.

libsymbols:

  - Parse kallsyms using new lightweight buffered reading io API.

perf parse-events:

  - Fix memory leaks found on parse_events.

perf mem2node:

  - Avoid double free related to realloc().

perf stat:

  Jin Yao:

  - Zero all the 'ena' and 'run' array slot stats for interval mode.

  - Improve runtime stat for interval mode

  Kajol Jain:

  - Enable Hz/hz printing for --metric-only option

  - Enhance JSON/metric infrastructure to handle "?".

perf tests:

  Kajol Jain:

  - Added test for runtime param in metric expression.

  Tommi Rantala:

  - Fix data path in the session topology test.

perf vendor events power9:

  Kajol Jain:

 - Add hv_24x7 socket/chip level metric events

Coresight:

  Leo Yan:

  - Move definition of 'traceid_list' global variable from header file.

  Mike Leach:

  - Update to build with latest opencsd version.

perf pmu:

  Shaokun Zhang:

  - Fix function name in comment, its get_cpuid_str(), not get_cpustr()

  Stephane Eranian:

  - Add perf_pmu__find_by_type() helper

perf script:

  Stephane Eranian:

  - Remove extraneous newline in perf_sample__fprintf_regs().

  Ian Rogers:

  - Avoid NULL dereference on symbol.

tools feature:

  Stephane Eranian:

  - Add support for detecting libpfm4.

perf symbol:

  Thomas Richter:

  - Fix kernel symbol address display in TUI verbose mode.

perf cgroup:

  Tommi Rantala:

  - Avoid needless closing of unopened fd

libperf:

  He Zhe:

  - Add NULL pointer check for cpu_map iteration and NULL
    assignment for all_cpus.

  Ian Rogers:

  - Fix a refcount leak in evlist method.

  Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:

  - Rename the code in tools/perf/util, i.e. perf tooling specific, that
    operates on 'struct evsel' to evsel__, leaving the perf_evsel__
    namespace for the routines in tools/lib/perf/ that operate on
    'struct perf_evsel__'.

tools/perf specific libraries:

  Konstantin Khlebnikov:

  - Fix reading new topology attribute "core_cpus"

  - Simplify checking if SMT is active.

perf flamegraph:

  Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:

  - Use /bin/bash for report and record scripts, just like all other
    such scripts, fixing a package dependency bug in a Linaro
    OpenEmbedded build checker.

perf evlist:

  Jagadeesh Pagadala:

  - Remove duplicate headers.

Miscelaneous:

  Zou Wei:

  - Remove unneeded semicolon in libtraceevent, 'perf c2c' and others.

  - Fix warning assignment of 0/1 to bool variable in 'perf report'
