Mgerge remote-tracking branch 'torvalds/master' into perf/core
To sync headers, for instance, in this case tools/perf was ahead of upstream till Linus merged tip/perf/core to get the PERF_RECORD_TEXT_POKE changes: Warning: Kernel ABI header at 'tools/include/uapi/linux/perf_event.h' differs from latest version at 'include/uapi/linux/perf_event.h' diff -u tools/include/uapi/linux/perf_event.h include/uapi/linux/perf_event.h Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
