[GIT PULL] perf updates

[Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>]

Linus,

Please pull the latest perf-urgent-for-linus git tree from:

   git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip.git perf-urgent-for-linus

   # HEAD: f282f7a0ecc3e0b8fd8532a6c3e9401534cb907c Merge tag 'perf-core-for-mingo-20160803' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/acme/linux into perf/urgent

Mostly tooling fixes and some late tooling updates, plus two perf related printk 
message fixes.

 Thanks,

	Ingo
