[Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>]

Linus,

Please pull the latest perf-urgent-for-linus git tree from:

   git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/linux-2.6-tip.git perf-urgent-for-linus

 Thanks,

	Ingo

------------------>
Frederic Weisbecker (8):
      perf tools: Check we are able to read the event size on mmap
      perf tools: Remove junk code in mmap size handling
      perf tools: Move evlist sample helpers to evlist area
      perf tools: Pre-check sample size before parsing
      perf tools: Robustify dynamic sample content fetch
      perf tools: Propagate event parse error handling
      perf tools: Fix ommitted mmap data update on remap
      perf tools: Fix sample size bit operations

Mandeep Singh Baines (4):
      watchdog: Fix rounding bug in get_sample_period()
      watchdog: Only disable/enable watchdog if neccessary
      watchdog: Disable watchdog when thresh is zero
      watchdog: Change the default timeout and configure nmi watchdog period based on watchdog_thresh
