Merge remote-tracking branch 'tip/perf/urgent' into perf/core
Merge reason: We are going to queue up a dependent patch: "perf tools: Move parse event automated tests to separated object" That depends on: commit e7c72d8 perf tools: Add 'G' and 'H' modifiers to event parsing Conflicts: tools/perf/builtin-stat.c Conflicted with the recent 'perf_target' patches when checking the result of perf_evsel open routines to see if a retry is needed to cope with older kernels where the exclude guest/host perf_event_attr bits were not used.
