Subject: [GIT pull] perf fixes for 4.8

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

Three fixlets for perf:

  - Add a missing NULL pointer check in the intel BTS driver.

  - Make BTS an exclusive PMU because BTS can only handle one event at a
    time

  - Ensure that exclusive events are limited to one PMU so that several
    exclusive events can be scheduled on different PMU instances.

Thanks,

	tglx
