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

Pull perf updates and fixes from Ingo Molnar:
"It's mostly fixes, but there's also two late items:

- preliminary GTK GUI support for perf report
- PMU raw event format descriptors in sysfs, to be parsed by tooling

The raw event format in sysfs is a new ABI. For example for the 'CPU'
PMU we have:

aldebaran:~> ll /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/format/*
-r--r--r--. 1 root root 4096 Mar 31 10:29 /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/format/any
-r--r--r--. 1 root root 4096 Mar 31 10:29 /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/format/cmask
-r--r--r--. 1 root root 4096 Mar 31 10:29 /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/format/edge
-r--r--r--. 1 root root 4096 Mar 31 10:29 /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/format/event
-r--r--r--. 1 root root 4096 Mar 31 10:29 /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/format/inv
-r--r--r--. 1 root root 4096 Mar 31 10:29 /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/format/offcore_rsp
-r--r--r--. 1 root root 4096 Mar 31 10:29 /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/format/pc
-r--r--r--. 1 root root 4096 Mar 31 10:29 /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/format/umask

those lists of fields contain a specific format:

aldebaran:~> cat /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/format/offcore_rsp
config1:0-63

So, those who wish to specify raw events can now use the following
event format:

-e cpu/cmask=1,event=2,umask=3

Most people will not want to specify any events (let alone raw
events), they'll just use whatever default event the tools use.

But for more obscure PMU events that have no cross-architecture
generic events the above syntax is more usable and a bit more
structured than specifying hex numbers."

+Where:		/sys/bus/event_source/devices/<dev>/format
+Date:		January 2012
+Kernel Version: 3.3
+Contact:	Jiri Olsa <[e-mail]>
+Description:
+		Attribute group to describe the magic bits that go into
+		perf_event_attr::config[012] for a particular pmu.
+		Each attribute of this group defines the 'hardware' bitmask
+		we want to export, so that userspace can deal with sane
+		name/value pairs.
+
+		Example: 'config1:1,6-10,44'
+		Defines contents of attribute that occupies bits 1,6-10,44 of
+		perf_event_attr::config1.
