Merge tag 'perf-core-for-mingo-20160621' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/acme/linux into perf/core

Pull perf/core improvements and fixes from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:

New features:

 - Add --dry-run option to 'perf record' to check if command line options can be
   parsed, but not doing any recording (Wang Nan)

 - Allow dumping the object files generated by llvm when processing eBPF
   scriptlet events (Wang Nan)

 - Add stackcollapse.py script to help generating flame graphs (Paolo Bonzini)

Documentation changes:

 - Fix 'perf script'  documentation of '-f' when it should be '-F' (Adrian Hunter)

Infrastructure changes:

 - Fix write_backwards fallback when using a new tool on older kernels
   without support for this feature (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

 - Remove some leftovers from the initial codebase copying from git
   (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

 - List libelf-devel as an alternative, as this is how the libelf
   development package is called on OpenSuSE (Jean Delvare)

 - Rename __hists__add_entry to hists__add_entry (Jiri Olsa)
