Merge tag 'perf-urgent-for-mingo' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/acme/linux into perf/urgent
Pull perf/urgent fixes from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo: * The libaudit test was failing in some systems due to a unescaped newline, fix it so that the 'trace' tool can be built in such systems. * Fix installation of libexec components. * Add default handler for mmap2 events so that tools that don't explicitely define an MMAP2 handler don't crash, fix from David Ahern. * Fix to find line information for probe list, from Masami Hiramatsu. * Set child_pid after perf_evlist__prepare_workload(), fix from Namhyung Kim. * Fix infinite loop on invalid perf.data file, from Namhyung Kim.
