* 'perfcounters-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/linux-2.6-tip: (60 commits) perf tools: Avoid unnecessary work in directory lookups perf stat: Clean up statistics calculations a bit more perf stat: More advanced variance computation perf stat: Use stddev_mean in stead of stddev perf stat: Remove the limit on repeat perf stat: Change noise calculation to use stddev x86, perf_counter, bts: Do not allow kernel BTS tracing for now x86, perf_counter, bts: Correct pointer-to-u64 casts x86, perf_counter, bts: Fail if BTS is not available perf_counter: Fix output-sharing error path perf trace: Fix read_string() perf trace: Print out in nanoseconds perf tools: Seek to the end of the header area perf trace: Fix parsing of perf.data perf trace: Sample timestamps as well perf_counter: Introduce new (non-)paranoia level to allow raw tracepoint access perf trace: Sample the CPU too perf tools: Work around strict aliasing related warnings perf tools: Clean up warnings list in the Makefile perf tools: Complete support for dynamic strings ...
