Ingo Molnar 84e5b54921 perf/core improvements and fixes:
New features:
 
 - Allow sorting by symbol_size in 'perf report' and 'perf top' (Charles Baylis)
 
   E.g.:
 
   # perf report -s symbol_size,symbol
 
   Samples: 9K of event 'cycles:k', Event count (approx.): 2870461623
   Overhead  Symbol size  Symbol
     14.55%          326  [k] flush_tlb_mm_range
      7.20%         1045  [k] filemap_map_pages
      5.82%          124  [k] vma_interval_tree_insert
      5.18%         2430  [k] unmap_page_range
      2.57%          571  [k] vma_interval_tree_remove
      1.94%          494  [k] page_add_file_rmap
      1.82%          740  [k] page_remove_rmap
      1.66%         1017  [k] release_pages
      1.57%         1636  [k] update_blocked_averages
      1.57%           76  [k] unlock_page
 
 - Add support for -p/--pid, -a/--all-cpus and -C/--cpu in 'perf ftrace' (Namhyung Kim)
 
 Change in behaviour:
 
 - Make system wide (-a) the default option if no target was specified and one
   of following conditions is met:
 
   - No workload specified (current behaviour)
 
   - A workload is specified but all requested events are system wide ones,
     like uncore ones. (Jiri Olsa)
 
 Fixes:
 
 - Add missing initialization to the instruction decoder used in the
   intel PT/BTS code, which was causing lots of failures in 'perf test',
   looking for a value when there was none (Adrian Hunter)
 
 Infrastructure:
 
 - Add arch code needed to adopt the kernel's refcount_t to aid in
   catching bugs when using atomic_t as a reference counter, basically
   cmpxchg related functions (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
 
 - Convert the code using atomic_t as reference counts to refcount_t
   (Elena Rashetova)
 
 - Add feature test for sched_getcpu() to more easily check for its
   presence in the many libc implementations and accross different
   versions of such C libraries (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
 
 - Issue a HW watchdog disable hint in 'perf stat' for when some of the
   requested events can't get counted because a PMU counter is taken by that
   watchdog (Borislav Petkov).
 
 - Add mapping for Intel's KnightsMill PMU events (Karol Wachowski)
 
 Documentation:
 
 - Clarify the term 'convergence' in:
 
    perf bench numa numa-mem -h --show_convergence (Jiri Olsa)
 
 Kernel code:
 
 - Ensure probe location is at function entry in kretprobes (Naveen N. Rao)
 
 - Allow return probes with offsets and absolute addresses (Naveen N. Rao)
