Merge tag 'perf-core-for-mingo' of git://git./linux/kernel/git/acme/linux into perf/core

Pull perf/core improvements and fixes from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:

. Make some POWER7 events available in sysfs, equivalent to
  what was done on x86, from Sukadev Bhattiprolu.

. Add event group view, from Namyung Kim:

  To use it, 'perf record' should group events when recording. And then perf
  report parses the saved group relation from file header and prints them
  together if --group option is provided.  You can use 'perf evlist' command to
  see event group information:

    $ perf record -e '{ref-cycles,cycles}' noploop 1
    [ perf record: Woken up 2 times to write data ]
    [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.385 MB perf.data (~16807 samples) ]

    $ perf evlist --group
    {ref-cycles,cycles}

  With this example, default perf report will show you each event
  separately like this:

    $ perf report
    ...
    # group: {ref-cycles,cycles}
    # ========
    # Samples: 3K of event 'ref-cycles'
    # Event count (approx.): 3153797218
    #
    # Overhead  Command      Shared Object                      Symbol
    # ........  .......  .................  ..........................

         0.00%  noploop  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] native_write_msr_safe

  In this case the event group information will be shown in the end of
  header area.  So you can use --group option to enable event group view.

    $ perf report --group
    ...
    # group: {ref-cycles,cycles}
    # ========
    # Samples: 7K of event 'anon group { ref-cycles, cycles }'
    # Event count (approx.): 6876107743
    #
    #         Overhead  Command      Shared Object                      Symbol

         0.00%   0.11%  noploop  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] _raw_spin_lock

         0.00%   0.02%  noploop  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] __current_kernel_time

  As you can see the Overhead column now contains both of ref-cycles and
  cycles and header line shows group information also - 'anon group {
  ref-cycles, cycles }'.  The output is sorted by period of group leader
  first.

  If perf.data file doesn't contain group information, this --group
  option does nothing.  So if you want enable event group view by
  default you can set it in ~/.perfconfig file:

    $ cat ~/.perfconfig
    [report]
    group = true

  It can be overridden with command line if you want:

    $ perf report --no-group
