Merge branch 'perf-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/linux-2.6-tip
* 'perf-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/linux-2.6-tip: (162 commits) tracing/kprobes: unregister_trace_probe needs to be called under mutex perf: expose event__process function perf events: Fix mmap offset determination perf, powerpc: fsl_emb: Restore setting perf_sample_data.period perf, powerpc: Convert the FSL driver to use local64_t perf tools: Don't keep unreferenced maps when unmaps are detected perf session: Invalidate last_match when removing threads from rb_tree perf session: Free the ref_reloc_sym memory at the right place x86,mmiotrace: Add support for tracing STOS instruction perf, sched migration: Librarize task states and event headers helpers perf, sched migration: Librarize the GUI class perf, sched migration: Make the GUI class client agnostic perf, sched migration: Make it vertically scrollable perf, sched migration: Parameterize cpu height and spacing perf, sched migration: Fix key bindings perf, sched migration: Ignore unhandled task states perf, sched migration: Handle ignored migrate out events perf: New migration tool overview tracing: Drop cpparg() macro perf: Use tracepoint_synchronize_unregister() to flush any pending tracepoint call ... Fix up trivial conflicts in Makefile and drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq.c
