perf/core improvements and fixes:
New features:
- Support AArch64 in the 'annotate' code, native/local and
cross-arch/remote (Kim Phillips)
- Allow considering just events in a given time interval, via the
'--time start.s.ms,end.s.ms' command line, added to 'perf kmem',
'perf report', 'perf sched timehist' and 'perf script' (David Ahern)
- Add option to stop printing a callchain at one of a given group of
symbol names (David Ahern)
- Handle cpu migration events in 'perf sched timehist' (David Ahern)
- Track memory freed in 'perf kmem stat' (David Ahern)
Infrastructure:
- Initial support (and perf test entry) for tooling hooks, starting with
'record_start' and 'record_end', that will have as its initial user the
eBPF infrastructure, where perf_ prefixed functions will be JITed and
run when such hooks are called (Wang Nan)
- Remove redundant "test" and similar strings from 'perf test' descriptions
(Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- libbpf assorted improvements (Wang Nan)

perf annotate: AArch64 support
This is a regex converted version from the original:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/5/19/461
Add basic support to recognise AArch64 assembly. This allows perf to
identify AArch64 instructions that branch to other parts within the
same function, thereby properly annotating them.
Rebased onto new cross-arch annotation bits:
