Make perf build for x86 once the UAPI disintegration patches for that arch

Disintegrate x86's asm/perf_regs.h for UAPI. This just entails moving it to
the uapi directory.
With this, the #inclusion in perf's perf_regs.h can use .

line adding to the Kbuild file.

Hi Andrea, Peter,
I have a question on page refcounting in your NUMA
page migration code.
In Peter's case, I wonder why you introduce a new
MIGRATE_FAULT migration mode. If the normal page
migration / compaction logic can do without taking
an extra reference count, why does your code need it?

wouldn't the max modifier sting length grow by adding another possible

Since in the DT case, the linear domain path will not allocate
descriptors for the IRQs, we need to use irq_create_mapping()
for mapping hwirqs to Linux IRQs, so these descriptors get
created on-the-fly in this case.

On all Intel SandyBridge processors, the INST_RETIRED:PREC_DIST
when used with PEBS must be measured alone. That means no other
event can be active on the PMU at the same time as per Intel SDM
Vol3b. This is what the exclusive mode of perf_events provides.
However, it was not enforced for that
This patch adds the x modifier for events. It allows users to
request exclusive PMU access (attr->exclusive):
perf stat -e cycles:x ..
or
perf stat -e cpu/cycles/x

supported by the perf tool. Some events may require exclusive

The following patch set enforces exclusive PMU access for
Intel SandyBridge INST_REITRED:PREC_DIST event when used
with PEBS as described in the SDM Vol 3b. Without this,
the sample distribution may not be correct.
The kernel now rejects PEBS + INST_RETIRED:PREC_DIST

This switches the way that pins are reserved for multiplexing:
We used to do this when the map was parsed, at the creation of
the settings inside the pinctrl handle, in pinmux_map_to_setting().

The worst is actually calling copy_huge_page() on a THP.. it seems to

The page allocator is able to bind a page to a memcg when it is
allocated. But for the caches, we'd like to have as many objects as
possible in a page belonging to the same cache.
This is done in this patch by calling memcg_kmem_get_cache in the
beginning of every allocation function. This

SLUB allows us to tune a particular cache behavior with sysfs-based
tunables. When creating a new memcg cache copy, we'd like to preserve
any tunables the parent cache already had.
This can be done by tapping into the store attribute function provided
by the allocator. We of course don't need to
