Merge branch 'perf-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

Pull more perf updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "A second round of perf updates:

   - wide reaching kprobes sanitization and robustization, with the hope
     of fixing all 'probe this function crashes the kernel' bugs, by
     Masami Hiramatsu.

   - uprobes updates from Oleg Nesterov: tmpfs support, corner case
     fixes and robustization work.

   - perf tooling updates and fixes from Jiri Olsa, Namhyung Ki, Arnaldo
     et al:
        * Add support to accumulate hist periods (Namhyung Kim)
        * various fixes, refactorings and enhancements"

+Kprobes can probe most of the kernel except itself. This means
+that there are some functions where kprobes cannot probe. Probing
+(trapping) such functions can cause a recursive trap (e.g. double
+fault) or the nested probe handler may never be called.
+Kprobes manages such functions as a blacklist.
+If you want to add a function into the blacklist, you just need
+to (1) include linux/kprobes.h and (2) use NOKPROBE_SYMBOL() macro
+to specify a blacklisted function.
+Kprobes checks the given probe address against the blacklist and
+rejects registering it, if the given address is in the blacklist.

 2. Architectures Supported
 
 Kprobes, jprobes, and return probes are implemented on the following
