Merge branch 'perf-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

Pull perf updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "Kernel side changes:

   - Ftrace is one of the last W^X violators (after this only KLP is
     left). These patches move it over to the generic text_poke()
     interface and thereby get rid of this oddity. This requires a
     surprising amount of surgery, by Peter Zijlstra.

   - x86/AMD PMUs: add support for 'Large Increment per Cycle Events' to
     count certain types of events that have a special, quirky hw ABI
     (by Kim Phillips)

   - kprobes fixes by Masami Hiramatsu

  Lots of tooling updates as well, the following subcommands were
  updated: annotate/report/top, c2c, clang, record, report/top TUI,
  sched timehist, tests; plus updates were done to the gtk ui, libperf,
  headers and the parser"
