Merge commit 'perf/core' into perf/hw-breakpoint
Conflicts: kernel/Makefile kernel/trace/Makefile kernel/trace/trace.h samples/Makefile Merge reason: We need to be uptodate with the perf events development branch because we plan to rewrite the breakpoints API on top of perf events.

+ Enable Kernel Samepage Merging: KSM periodically scans those areas
