Merge branch 'perfcounters-fixes-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/linux-2.6-tip

* 'perfcounters-fixes-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/linux-2.6-tip: (47 commits)
  perf report: Add --symbols parameter
  perf report: Add --comms parameter
  perf report: Add --dsos parameter
  perf_counter tools: Adjust only prelinked symbol's addresses
  perf_counter: Provide a way to enable counters on exec
  perf_counter tools: Reduce perf stat measurement overhead/skew
  perf stat: Use percentages for scaling output
  perf_counter, x86: Update x86_pmu after WARN()
  perf stat: Micro-optimize the code: memcpy is only required if no event is selected and !null_run
  perf stat: Improve output
  perf stat: Fix multi-run stats
  perf stat: Add -n/--null option to run without counters
  perf_counter tools: Remove dead code
  perf_counter: Complete counter swap
  perf report: Print sorted callchains per histogram entries
  perf_counter tools: Prepare a small callchain framework
  perf record: Fix unhandled io return value
  perf_counter tools: Add alias for 'l1d' and 'l1i'
  perf-report: Add bare minimum PERF_EVENT_READ parsing
  perf-report: Add modes for inherited stats and no-samples
