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

Pull perf/urgent fixes from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:

  - Fix misplaced check for HAVE_SYNC_COMPARE_AND_SWAP_SUPPORT in
    the auxtrace code, which made 'perf record' fail straight away
    in some architectures, even when auxtrace wasn't involved. (Adrian Hunter)

  - Really allow to specify custom CC, AR or LD (Alexey Brodkin)
