Subject: [GIT PULL 0/6] perf/core improvements and fixes

Hi Ingo,

	Please consider applying.

	One of the next requests probably will have the eBPF work by Wang Nan,
but I am still going thru it and want to test it thoroughly.

	BTW: Have you looked at it lately? It is at:

http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1433144296-74992-1-git-send-email-wangnan0@huawei.com

Super summary from the above cover letter:

---------------------
It enables 'perf record' to filter events using eBPF programs like:

 # perf record --event bpf-file.o sleep 1

Events are selected and filtered according to definitions in bpf-file.o.
---------------------

	The first two patches from that series are in this pull req, as
they just move stuff into tools/include/linux/ from tools/perf/include.

Regards,

- Arnaldo
