[PATCH 1/2] pebs, x86: Make sure to really disable PEBS

[Andi Kleen]

From: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com>

When disabling a PEBS event we need to check the old value
to determine if PEBS was running. Otherwise the last PEBS value
could be kept running.

[PATCH 2/2] perf: Enable function tracing for perf core

[Andi Kleen]

From: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com>

According to Steven R. there is no reason left to not support
function tracing for the perf core. This makes it easier to debug
perf.

Don't remove -pg for the x86 and generic perf core.

There's some new patches queued for 3.7 that has better function tracing
recursion protection. This should go after those.

Thanks,
