Subject: [GIT PULL] perf fixes for v3.8

Linus,

Please pull the latest perf-urgent-for-linus git tree from:

   git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip.git perf-urgent-for-linus

   HEAD: 08cd2a6960ae2e1aa7f44b44ebafa84f503a2dd1 Merge branch 'tip/perf/urgent-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace into perf/urgent

These are late-v3.7 pending fixes for tracing.

 Thanks,

	Ingo
