Merge branch 'perf-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

Pull perf updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "The main changes in this cycle on the kernel side were:

   - CPU PMU and uncore driver updates to Intel Snow Ridge, IceLake,
     KabyLake, AmberLake and WhiskeyLake CPUs.

   - Rework the MSR probing infrastructure to make it more robust, make
     it work better on virtualized systems and to better expose it on
     sysfs.

   - Rework PMU attributes group support based on the feedback from
     Greg. The core sysfs patch that adds sysfs_update_groups() was
     acked by Greg.

  There's a lot of perf tooling changes as well, all around the place:

   - vendor updates to Intel, cs-etm (ARM), ARM64, s390,

   - various enhancements to Intel PT tooling support:
      - Improve CBR (Core to Bus Ratio) packets support.
      - Export power and ptwrite events to sqlite and postgresql.
      - Add support for decoding PEBS via PT packets.
      - Add support for samples to contain IPC ratio, collecting cycles
        information from CYC packets, showing the IPC info periodically
      - Allow using time ranges

   - lots of updates to perf pmu, perf stat, perf trace, eBPF support,
     perf record, perf diff, etc. - please see the shortlog and Git log
     for details"
