[GIT PULL 00/20] perf/core improvements and fixes

[Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@kernel.org>]

Hi Ingo,

	This one has the thread reference counting, that I tested using 'perf probe':

  perf probe -x ~/bin/perf 'thread__delete:4 thread refcnt=thread->refcnt tid=thread->tid'
  perf probe -x ~/bin/perf 'thread__get:1 thread refcnt=thread->refcnt tid=thread->tid'
  perf probe -x ~/bin/perf 'thread__put:6 thread refcnt=thread->refcnt tid=thread->tid'
  perf record -o thread_refcnt.data -g -e probe_perf:thread__put,probe_perf:thread__get_1,probe_perf:thread__delete perf top

	with that I checked and in the end the refcount reaches zero and
thread__delete is called, as expected, using 'perf script', looking at the
callchains, etc, did the same for 'perf sched lat' and 'trace' also seems to
work.

	David, Namhyung, please holler if you find something fishy with this
thread refcnt stuff, as it is something that is related to previous/current
work by you guys,

	Ah, I also merged perf/urgent so that it is buildable in more systems.o

	There is also the revert for that is_power_of_2 "simplification" in perf_mmap,
that hasn't made it to perf/urgent nor upstream, its something only in perf/core, sorry
about that one, should have caught that :-\

	Please consider pulling,

- Arnaldo

  perf sched: No need to keep the session around (2015-03-03 00:17:12 -0300)

----------------------------------------------------------------
perf/core improvements and fixes:

User visible:

- Warn if given uprobe event accesses memory on older kernel (Masami Hiramatsu)

- 'perf record' Documentation fixes (Namhyung Kim)

- Report unsupported events properly in 'perf stat' (Suzuki K. Poulose)

Infrastructure:

- Avoid FORK after COMM when synthesizing records for pre-existing threads (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

- Reference count struct thread (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

- No need to keep the session around in 'perf sched', thread refcounting removes that need (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

- Initialize cpu set in pthread_attr_setaffinity_np feature test (Adrian Hunter)

- Only include tsc file for x86 (David Ahern)

- Compare JOBS to 0 after grep (David Ahern)

- Improve feature detection messages (Ingo Molnar)

- Revert "perf: Remove the extra validity check on nr_pages" (Kan Liang)

- Remove bias offset to find probe point by address (Masami Hiramatsu)

- Fix build error on ARCH=i386/x86_64/sparc64 )Namhyung Kim)
