Subject: [GIT pull] perf fixes for 4.12

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

The last fix for perf for this cycles:

    Prevent a segfault when kernel.kptr_restrict=2 is set by avoiding a
    null pointer dereference.


Thanks,

	tglx
