      Merge tag 'perf-core-for-mingo' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/acme/linux into perf/core
      
      Fixes and improvements for perf/core:
      
      . Overhaul the tools/ makefiles, gluing them to the top level Makefile, from
        Borislav Petkov.
      
      . Move the UI files from tools/perf/util/ui/ to tools/perf/ui/. Also move
        the GTK+ browser to tools/perf/ui/gtk/, from Namhyung Kim.
      
      . Only fallback to sw cycles counter on ENOENT for the hw cycles, from
        Robert Richter
      
      . Trivial fixes from Robert Richter
      
      . Handle the autogenerated bison/flex files better, from Namhyung and Jiri Olsa.
      
      . Navigate jump instructions in the annotate browser, just press enter or ->,
        still needs support for a jump navigation history, i.e. to go back.
      
      . Search string in the annotate browser: same keys as vim:
           / forward
           n next backward/forward
           ? backward
      
      . Clarify number of events/samples in the report header, from Ashay Rane

      Make the "word-at-a-time" helper functions more commonly usable · f68e556e
      Linus Torvalds authored
      I have a new optimized x86 "strncpy_from_user()" that will use these
      same helper functions for all the same reasons the name lookup code uses
      them.  This is preparation for that.
      
      This moves them into an architecture-specific header file.  It's
      architecture-specific for two reasons:
      
       - some of the functions are likely to want architecture-specific
         implementations.  Even if the current code happens to be "generic" in
         the sense that it should work on any little-endian machine, it's
         likely that the "multiply by a big constant and shift" implementation
         is less than optimal for an architecture that has a guaranteed fast
         bit count instruction, for example.
      
       - I expect that if architectures like sparc want to start playing
         around with this, we'll need to abstract out a few more details (in
         particular the actual unaligned accesses).  So we're likely to have
         more architecture-specific stuff if non-x86 architectures start using
         this.
      
         (and if it turns out that non-x86 architectures don't start using
         this, then having it in an architecture-specific header is still the
         right thing to do, of course)

      cpuidle: Fix panic in CPU off-lining with no idle driver · ee01e663
      Toshi Kani authored
      Fix a NULL pointer dereference panic in cpuidle_play_dead() during
      CPU off-lining when no cpuidle driver is registered.  A cpuidle
      driver may be registered at boot-time based on CPU type.  This patch
      allows an off-lined CPU to enter HLT-based idle in this condition.
