      perf tests:
      
        Jiri Olsa:
      
        - Fix 'make -C tools/perf build-test' static build entry.
      
      perf record:
      
        Jiri Olsa:
      
        - Fix segfault in cpu_cache_level__read() when reading CPU topology.
      
      session:
      
        Mamatha Inamdar:
      
        - Properly propagate error when reading a perf.data file, it may
          not exist or the user may not have permissions, etc.
      
      perf probe:
      
        Masami Hiramatsu:
      
        - Skip same probe address for a given line.

      tools headers UAPI:
      
        Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:
      
        - Sync headers, among them prctl.h, that introduces two new options
          that are now supported in the 'perf trace' prctl syscall args
          beautifiers.

      Pull core timer updates from Thomas Gleixner:
       "Timers and timekeeping updates:
      
         - A large overhaul of the posix CPU timer code which is a preparation
           for moving the CPU timer expiry out into task work so it can be
           properly accounted on the task/process.
      
           An update to the bogus permission checks will come later during the
           merge window as feedback was not complete before heading of for
           travel.
      
         - Switch the timerqueue code to use cached rbtrees and get rid of the
           homebrewn caching of the leftmost node.
      
         - Consolidate hrtimer_init() + hrtimer_init_sleeper() calls into a
           single function
      
         - Implement the separation of hrtimers to be forced to expire in hard
           interrupt context even when PREEMPT_RT is enabled and mark the
           affected timers accordingly.
      
         - Implement a mechanism for hrtimers and the timer wheel to protect
           RT against priority inversion and live lock issues when a (hr)timer
           which should be canceled is currently executing the callback.
           Instead of infinitely spinning, the task which tries to cancel the
           timer blocks on a per cpu base expiry lock which is held and
           released by the (hr)timer expiry code.
      
         - Enable the Hyper-V TSC page based sched_clock for Hyper-V guests
           resulting in faster access to timekeeping functions.
      
         - Updates to various clocksource/clockevent drivers and their device
           tree bindings.
      
         - The usual small improvements all over the place"
