Merge tag 'perf-core-for-mingo-4.11-20170213' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/acme/linux into perf/core

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

New features:

 - Introduce the 'delta-abs' 'perf diff' compute method, that orders the
   histogram entries by the absolute value of the percentage delta for a
   function in two perf.data files, i.e. the functions that changed the
   most (increase or decrease in samples) comes first (Namhyung Kim)

User visible changes:

 - Improve message about tweaking the kernel.perf_event_paranoid setting,
   telling how to make the change permanent by editing /etc/sysctl.conf
   (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

Infrastructure changes:

 - Introduce linux/compiler-gcc.h as a counterpart to the kernel's,
   initially containing the definition of __fallthrough, more to
   come (__maybe_unused, etc) (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

 - Fixes for problems uncovered by building tools/perf with clang, such
   as always true tests of arrays against NULL and variables that sometimes
   were used without being initialized (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo, Steven Rostedt)

 - Before loading a new ELF, clear global variables set by the
   samples/bpf loader (Mickaël Salaün)

 - Ignore already processed ELF sections in the samples/bpf
   loader (Mickaël Salaün)

 - Fix compile error in the scripting code with some perl5
   versions (Wang YanQing)
