perf/core improvements and fixes:
- Support to display the IPC/Cycle in 'annotate' TUI, for systems
where this info can be obtained, like Intel's >= Skylake (Jin Yao)
- Support wildcards on PMU name in dynamic PMU events (Agustin Vega-Frias)
- Display pmu name when printing unmerged events in stat (Agustin Vega-Frias)
- Auto-merge PMU events created by prefix or glob match (Agustin Vega-Frias)
- Fix s390 'call' operations target function annotation (Thomas Richter)
- Handle s390 PC relative load and store instruction in the augmented
'annotate', code, used so far in the TUI modes of 'perf report' and
'perf annotate' (Thomas Richter)
- Provide libtraceevent with a kernel symbol resolver, so that
symbols in tracepoint fields can be resolved when showing them in
tools such as 'perf report' (Wang YanQing)
- Refactor the cgroups code to look more like other code in tools/perf,
using cgroup__{put,get} for refcount operations instead of its
open-coded equivalent, breaking larger functions, etc (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- Implement support for the -G/--cgroup target in 'perf trace', allowing
strace like tracing (plus other events, backtraces, etc) for cgroups
(Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- Update thread shortname in 'perf sched map' when the thread's COMM
changes (Changbin Du)
- refcount 'struct mem_info', for better sharing it over several
users, avoid duplicating structs and fixing crashes related to
use after free (Jiri Olsa)
- Display perf.data version, offsets in 'perf report --header' (Jiri Olsa)
- Record the machine's memory topology information in a perf.data
feature section, to be used by tools such as 'perf c2c' (Jiri Olsa)
- Fix output of forced groups in the header for 'perf report' --stdio
and --tui (Jiri Olsa)
- Better support llvm, clang, cxx make tests in the build process (Jiri Olsa)
- Streamline the 'struct perf_mmap' methods, storing some info in the
struct instead of passing it via various methods, shortening its
signatures (Kan Liang)
- Update the quipper perf.data parser library site information (Stephane Eranian)
- Correct perf's man pages title markers for asciidoctor (Takashi Iwai)
- Intel PT fixes and refactorings paving the way for implementing
support for AUX area sampling (Adrian Hunter)
