Merge tag 'perf-core-for-mingo-5.8-20200420' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/acme/linux into perf/core

Pull perf/core fixes and improvements from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:

kernel + tools/perf:

  Alexey Budankov:

  - Introduce CAP_PERFMON to kernel and user space.

callchains:

  Adrian Hunter:

  - Allow using Intel PT to synthesize callchains for regular events.

  Kan Liang:

  - Stitch LBR records from multiple samples to get deeper backtraces,
    there are caveats, see the csets for details.

perf script:

  Andreas Gerstmayr:

  - Add flamegraph.py script

BPF:

  Jiri Olsa:

  - Synthesize bpf_trampoline/dispatcher ksymbol events.

perf stat:

  Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:

  - Honour --timeout for forked workloads.

  Stephane Eranian:

  - Force error in fallback on :k events, to avoid counting nothing when
    the user asks for kernel events but is not allowed to.

perf bench:

  Ian Rogers:

  - Add event synthesis benchmark.

tools api fs:

  Stephane Eranian:

 - Make xxx__mountpoint() more scalable

libtraceevent:

  He Zhe:

  - Handle return value of asprintf.
