Merge branch 'uprobes/core' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/oleg/misc into perf/core
Pull uprobes updates from Oleg Nesterov: - "uretprobes" - an optimization to uprobes, like kretprobes are an optimization to kprobes. "perf probe -x file sym%return" now works like kretprobes. - PowerPC fixes plus a couple of cleanups/optimizations in uprobes and trace_uprobes. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>
