Merge tag 'perf-core-for-mingo-20160901' 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:

User visible changes:

- Support generating cross arch probes, i.e. if you specify a vmlinux
  file for different arch than the one in the host machine,

	 $ perf probe --definition function_name args

  will generate the probe definition string needed to append to the
  target machine /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobes_events file, using
  scripting (Masami Hiramatsu).

- Make 'perf probe' skip the function prologue in uprobes if program
  compiled without optimization, using the same strategy as gdb and
  systemtap uses, fixing a bug where:

	$ perf probe -x ./test 'foo i'

  When 'foo(42)' was used on the "./test" executable would produce i=0
  instead of the expected i=42 (Ravi Bangoria)

- Demangle symbols for synthesized @plt entries too (Millian Wolff)

Documentation changes:

- Show default report configuration in 'perf config' example
  and docs (Millian Wolff)

Infrastructure changes:

- Make 'perf test vmlinux' tolerate the symbol aliasing pruning done when
  loading kallsyms and vmlinux (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

- Improve output of 'perf test vmlinux' test, to help identify on the verbose
  output which lines are warning and which are errors (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

- Prep work to stop having to pass symbol_filter_t to lots of functions,
  simplifying symtab loading routines (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

- Honor symbol_conf.allow_aliases when loading kallsyms as well, it was using
  it only when loading vmlinux files (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

- Fixup symbol->end before doing alias pruning when loading symbol tables
  (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

- Fix error handling of lzma kernel module decompression (Shawn Lin)
