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

Pull perf updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "Perf tool updates and kprobe fixes:

   - perf_mmap overwrite mode fixes/overhaul, prep work to get 'perf
     top' using it, making it bearable to use it in large core count
     systems such as Knights Landing/Mill Intel systems (Kan Liang)

   - s/390 now uses syscall.tbl, just like x86-64 to generate the
     syscall table id -> string tables used by 'perf trace' (Hendrik
     Brueckner)

   - Use strtoull() instead of home grown function (Andy Shevchenko)

   - Synchronize kernel ABI headers, v4.16-rc1 (Ingo Molnar)

   - Document missing 'perf data --force' option (Sangwon Hong)

   - Add perf vendor JSON metrics for ARM Cortex-A53 Processor (William
     Cohen)

   - Improve error handling and error propagation of ftrace based
     kprobes so failures when installing kprobes are not silently
     ignored and create disfunctional tracepoints"
