        Main changes on the perf tooling side (some of these tooling changes

                by Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo.
      
              . Arg formatting improvements to allow masking arguments in
                syscalls such as futex and open, where the some arguments are
                ignored and thus should not be printed depending on other args,
                by Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo.
      
              . Beautify futex open, openat, open_by_handle_at, lseek and futex
                syscalls, by Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo.
      
              . Add option to analyze events in a file versus live, so that
                one can do:
      
                 [root@zoo ~]# perf record -a -e raw_syscalls:* sleep 1
                 [ perf record: Woken up 0 times to write data ]

              . Handle HUGEPAGE defines in the mmap beautifier, by David Ahern.

              . Do annotation using /proc/kcore and /proc/kallsyms when
                available, removing the forced need for a vmlinux file kernel
                assembly annotation. This also improves this use case because
                vmlinux has just the initial kernel image, not what is actually
                in use after various code patchings by things like alternatives.
                By Adrian Hunter.

              . Add option to analyze specific VM in perf kvm stat report, by
                David Ahern.
      
              . Do not require /lib/modules/* on a guest, by Jason Wessel.
      
         - 'perf script' enhancements:

              . Don't install scripting files files when perl/python support
                is disabled, by Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo.
      
         - 'perf test' enhancements:
      
              . Add various improvements and fixes to the "vmlinux matches
                kallsyms" 'perf test' entry, related to the /proc/kcore
                annotation feature. By Adrian Hunter.

              . Add test for reading object code, by Adrian Hunter.
      
              . Add attr record group sampling test, by Jiri Olsa.
      
              . Misc testing infrastructure improvements and other details,
                by Jiri Olsa.
      
         - 'perf list' enhancements:

              . Add support for more than two files comparison, by Jiri Olsa.
      
         - 'perf sched' enhancements:
      
              . Various improvements, including removing reliance on some
                scheduler tracepoints that provide the same information as the
                PERF_RECORD_{FORK,EXIT} events. By David Ahern.
      
              . Remove odd build stall by moving a large struct initialization
                from a local variable to a global one, by Namhyung Kim.
      
         - 'perf stat' enhancements:
      
              . Add --initial-delay option to skip measuring for a defined
                startup phase, by Andi Kleen.
      
         - Generic perf tooling infrastructure/plumbing changes:

                by Stephane Eranian.
      
              . Add group leader sampling, that allows just one event in a group
                to sample while the other events have just its values read,
                by Jiri Olsa.
      
              . Add support for a new modifier "D", which requests that the

        And lots and lots of other fixes and code reorganizations that did not
        make it into the list, see the shortlog, diffstat and the Git log for

      Pull cgroup updates from Tejun Heo:
       "A lot of activities on the cgroup front.  Most changes aren't visible
        to userland at all at this point and are laying foundation for the
        planned unified hierarchy.
      
         - The biggest change is decoupling the lifetime management of css
           (cgroup_subsys_state) from that of cgroup's.  Because controllers
           (cpu, memory, block and so on) will need to be dynamically enabled
           and disabled, css which is the association point between a cgroup
           and a controller may come and go dynamically across the lifetime of
           a cgroup.  Till now, css's were created when the associated cgroup
           was created and stayed till the cgroup got destroyed.
      
           Assumptions around this tight coupling permeated through cgroup
           core and controllers.  These assumptions are gradually removed,
           which consists bulk of patches, and css destruction path is
           completely decoupled from cgroup destruction path.  Note that
           decoupling of creation path is relatively easy on top of these
           changes and the patchset is pending for the next window.
      
         - cgroup has its own event mechanism cgroup.event_control, which is
           only used by memcg.  It is overly complex trying to achieve high
           flexibility whose benefits seem dubious at best.  Going forward,
           new events will simply generate file modified event and the
           existing mechanism is being made specific to memcg.  This pull
           request contains prepatory patches for such change.

       "Two interesting changes.
      
         - libata acpi handling has been restructured so that the association

           change shouldn't change visible behavior.
      
         - Queued TRIM support, which enables sending TRIM to the device
           without draining in-flight RW commands, is added.  Currently only
           enabled for ahci (and likely to stay that way for the foreseeable

       1) ACPI-based PCI hotplug (ACPIPHP) subsystem rework and introduction
          of Intel Thunderbolt support on systems that use ACPI for signalling
          Thunderbolt hotplug events.  This also should make ACPIPHP work in
          some cases in which it was known to have problems.  From
          Rafael J Wysocki, Mika Westerberg and Kirill A Shutemov.

       4) ACPICA update to version 20130725 includig fixes, cleanups, support
          for more than 256 GPEs per GPE block and a change to make the ACPI
          PM Timer optional (we've seen systems without the PM Timer in the
          field already).  One of the fixes, related to the DeRefOf operator,
          is necessary to prevent some Windows 8 oriented AML from causing
          problems to happen.  From Bob Moore, Lv Zheng, and Jung-uk Kim.

       6) ACPI and Xen changes to make the reduced hardware sleep work with
          the latter from Ben Guthro.

          not tell the BIOS that they are compatible with Windows 8 (or ACPI
          backlight and possibly other things will not work on them).  From

          reduce oscillations between min and max frequencies (essentially,
          it causes the governor to choose target frequencies proportional
          to load) from Stratos Karafotis.

          preserved over suspend/resume cycles Srivatsa S Bhat.
      
      11) Removal of Device Tree parsing for CPU device nodes from multiple

          of_get_cpu_node() to be made in a few architectures and in the
          driver core.  From Sudeep KarkadaNagesha.
