  perf record: Support custom vmlinux path (2015-12-14 13:04:12 -0300)

----------------------------------------------------------------
perf/core improvements and fixes:

User visible:

- Make command line options always available, even when they
  depend on some feature being enabled, warning the user about
  use of such options (Wang Nan)

- Support --vmlinux in perf record, useful, so far, for eBPF,
  where we will set up events that will be used in the record
  session (He Kuang)

- Automatically disable collecting branch flags and cycles with
  --call-graph lbr. This allows avoiding a bunch of extra MSR
  reads in the PMI on Skylake.  (Andi Kleen)

Infrastructure:

- Dump the stack when a 'perf test -v ' entry segfaults, so far we
  would have to run it under gdb with 'set follow-fork-mode child'
  set to get a proper backtrace (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

- Initialize the refcnt in 'struct thread' to 1 and fixup its
  users accordingly, so that we try to have the same refcount
  model accross the perf codebase (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

- More prep work for moving the subcmd infrastructure out of
  tools/perf/ and into tools/lib/subcmd/ to be used by other
  tools/ living utilities (Josh Poimboeuf)

- Fix 'perf test' hist testcases when kptr_restrict is on (Namhyung Kim)
