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

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

User visible changes:

- No need to explicitely enable evsels for workload started from perf, let it
be enabled via perf_event_attr.enable_on_exec, removing some events that take
place in the 'perf trace' before a workload is really started by it.
(Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

- Fix to handle optimized not-inlined functions in 'perf probe' (Masami Hiramatsu)

- Update 'perf probe' man page (Masami Hiramatsu)

- 'perf trace': Allow mixing with tracepoints and suppressing plain syscalls
(Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

Infrastructure changes:

- Introduce {trace_seq_do,event_format_}_fprintf functions to allow
a default tracepoint field list printer to be used in tools that allows
redirecting output to a file. (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

- The man page for pthread_attr_set_affinity_np states that _GNU_SOURCE
must be defined before pthread.h, do it to fix the build in some
systems (Josh Boyer)

- Cleanups in 'perf buildid-cache' (Masami Hiramatsu)

- Fix dso cache test case (Namhyung Kim)

- Do Not rely on dso__data_read_offset() to open DSO (Namhyung Kim)

- Make perf aware of tracefs (Steven Rostedt).

- Fix build by defining STT_GNU_IFUNC for glibc 2.9 and older (Vinson Lee)

- AArch64 symbol resolution fixes (Victor Kamensky)

- Kconfig beachhead (Jiri Olsa)

- Simplify nr_pages validity (Kaixu Xia)

- Fixup header positioning in 'perf list' (Yunlong Song)

perf build: Add arch x86 objects building

Move the x86 arch objects building under build framework to be included
in the libperf build object.

Adding also arch/$(ARCH)/Build files for the rest of the archs. The
reason for this is that in arch/Build we now do:

+libperf-y += $(ARCH)/

which would make the build to fail on other architectures, because the
build framework requires 'Build' file in nested directories and this
patch adds it only for x86.
