Hi Linus,

In the past, I have funnelled perf updates through the respective
architecture trees, but now that the arm/arm64 perf driver has been
largely consolidated under drivers/perf/, it makes more sense to send a
separate pull, particularly as I'm listed as maintainer for all the
files involved. I offered the branch to arm-soc, but Arnd suggested that
I just send it to you directly.

So, here is the arm/arm64 perf queue for 4.5. The main features are
described in the tag, but the most useful change is from Drew, which
advertises our architected event mapping in sysfs so that the perf tool
is a lot more user friendly and no longer requires the use of magic hex
constants for profiling common events.

Please pull,

Will
