Thomas Gleixner 4a98be8293 perf/core improvements and fixes:
kernel:
 
   Stephane Eranian :
 
   - Restore mmap record type correctly when handling PERF_RECORD_MMAP2
     events, as the same template is used for all the threads interested
     in mmap events, some may want just PERF_RECORD_MMAP, while some
     may want the extra info in MMAP2 records.
 
 perf probe:
 
   Adrian Hunter:
 
   - Fix getting the kernel map, because since changes related to x86 PTI
     entry trampolines handling, there are more than one kernel map.
 
 perf script:
 
   Andi Kleen:
 
   - Support insn output for normal samples, i.e.:
 
     perf script -F ip,sym,insn --xed
 
     Will fetch the sample IP from the thread address space and feed it
     to Intel's XED disassembler, producing lines such as:
 
       ffffffffa4068804 native_write_msr            wrmsr
       ffffffffa415b95e __hrtimer_next_event_base   movq  0x18(%rax), %rdx
 
     That match 'perf annotate's output.
 
   - Make the --cpu filter apply to  PERF_RECORD_COMM/FORK/... events, in
     addition to PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE.
 
 perf report:
 
   - Add a new --samples option to save a small random number of samples
     per hist entry, using a reservoir technique to select a representative
     number of samples.
 
     Then allow browsing the samples using 'perf script' as part of the hist
     entry context menu. This automatically adds the right filters, so only
     the thread or CPU of the sample is displayed. Then we use less' search
     functionality to directly jump to the time stamp of the selected sample.
 
     It uses different menus for assembler and source display.  Assembler
     needs xed installed and source needs debuginfo.
 
   - Fix the UI browser scripts pop up menu when there are many scripts
     available.
 
 perf report:
 
   Andi Kleen:
 
   - Add 'time' sort option. E.g.:
 
     % perf report --sort time,overhead,symbol --time-quantum 1ms --stdio

 tools headers:
 
   Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:
 
   - Update x86's syscall_64.tbl, no change in tools/perf behaviour.
 
   -  Sync copies asm-generic/unistd.h and linux/in with the kernel sources.
 
 perf data:
 
   Jiri Olsa:
 
   - Prep work to support having perf.data stored as a directory, with one
     file per CPU, that ultimately will allow having one ring buffer reading
     thread per CPU.
 
 Vendor events:
 
   Martin Liška:
 
   - perf PMU events for AMD Family 17h.
 
 perf script python:
 
   Tony Jones:
 
   - Add python3 support for the remaining Intel PT related scripts, with
     these we should have a clean build of perf with python3 while still
     supporting the build with python2.
 
 libbpf:
 
   Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:
 
   - Fix the build on uCLibc, adding the missing stdarg.h since we use
     va_list in one typedef.
