Subject: [GIT PULL] perf/hw-breakpoints: Various updates

Ingo,

Please pull the perf/core branch that can be found at:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/frederic/random-tracing.git
	perf/core

I have hesitations about the 2 last patches as they should probably
go into another branch. Their scope is wider than perf as they also
fix x86-64 stacktraces in general.

Tell me if you'd prefer them in a separate tree based on something else.

Thanks,
	Frederic
