* 'perfcounters-fixes-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/linux-2.6-tip: (27 commits)
  perf_counter: Zero dead bytes from ftrace raw samples size alignment
  perf_counter: Subtract the buffer size field from the event record size
  perf_counter: Require CAP_SYS_ADMIN for raw tracepoint data
  perf_counter: Correct PERF_SAMPLE_RAW output
  perf tools: callchain: Fix bad rounding of minimum rate
  perf_counter tools: Fix libbfd detection for systems with libz dependency
  perf: "Longum est iter per praecepta, breve et efficax per exempla"
  perf_counter: Fix a race on perf_counter_ctx
  perf_counter: Fix tracepoint sampling to be part of generic sampling
  perf_counter: Work around gcc warning by initializing tracepoint record unconditionally
  perf tools: callchain: Fix sum of percentages to be 100% by displaying amount of ignored chains in fractal mode
  perf tools: callchain: Fix 'perf report' display to be callchain by default
  perf tools: callchain: Fix spurious 'perf report' warnings: ignore empty callchains
  perf record: Fix the -A UI for empty or non-existent perf.data
  perf util: Fix do_read() to fail on EOF instead of busy-looping
  perf list: Fix the output to not include tracepoints without an id
  perf_counter/powerpc: Fix oops on cpus without perf_counter hardware support
  perf stat: Fix tool option consistency: rename -S/--scale to -c/--scale
  perf report: Add debug help for the finding of symbol bugs - show the symtab origin (DSO, build-id, kernel, etc)
  perf report: Fix per task mult-counter stat reporting
