Merge tag 'perf-core-for-mingo-4.13-20170718' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/acme/linux into perf/core

Pull perf/core improvements and fixes from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:

User visible changes:

- Initial support for namespaces, using setns to access files in
  namespaces, grabbing their build-ids, etc. We still need to work
  more to deal with namespaces that vanish before we can get the
  needed data to do analysis, but this should be as good as what is
  in bcc now (Krister Johansen)

- Add header record types to pipe-mode, now this command:

  $ perf record -o - -e cycles sleep 1 | perf report --stdio --header

  Will show the same as in non-pipe mode, i.e. involving a perf.data
  file (David Carrillo-Cisneros)

- Implement a visual marker for fused x86 instructions in the annotate
  TUI browser, available now in 'perf report', more work needed to have
  it available as well in 'perf top' (Jin Yao)

  Further explanation from one of Jin's patches:

       │   ┌──cmpl   $0x0,argp_program_version_hook
 81.93 │   ├──je     20
       │   │  lock   cmpxchg %esi,0x38a9a4(%rip)
       │   │↓ jne    29
       │   │↓ jmp    43
 11.47 │20:└─→cmpxch %esi,0x38a999(%rip)

  That means the cmpl+je is a fused instruction pair and they should be
  considered together.

- Record the branch type and then show statistics and info about
  in callchain entries (Jin Yao)

  Example from one of Jin's patches:

  # perf record -g -j any,save_type
  # perf report --branch-history --stdio --no-children

  38.50%  div.c:45                [.] main                    div
          |
          ---main div.c:42 (RET CROSS_2M cycles:2)
             compute_flag div.c:28 (cycles:2)
             compute_flag div.c:27 (RET CROSS_2M cycles:1)
             rand rand.c:28 (cycles:1)
             rand rand.c:28 (RET CROSS_2M cycles:1)
             __random random.c:298 (cycles:1)
             __random random.c:297 (COND_BWD CROSS_2M cycles:1)
             __random random.c:295 (cycles:1)
             __random random.c:295 (COND_BWD CROSS_2M cycles:1)
             __random random.c:295 (cycles:1)
             __random random.c:295 (RET CROSS_2M cycles:9)

- Beautify the fcntl syscall, which is an interesting one in the sense
  that infrastructure had to be put in place to change the formatters of
  some arguments according to the value in a previous one, i.e. cmd
  dictates how arg and the syscall return will be formatted.
  (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

Infrastructure changes:

- 'perf test attr' fixes (Jiri Olsa)

Vendor events changes:

- Add POWER9 PMU events Sukadev (Bhattiprolu)

- Support additional POWER8+ PVR in PMU mapfile (Shriya)
