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

perf top:

  Namhyung Kim:

  - Decay all events in the evlist, we were decaying just the first event
    in a group.

  - Fix linking of histograms in different evsels in a event group with more
    than two events.

  With the two fixes above a command line such as:

    # perf top -e '{cycles,instructions,cache-misses,cache-references}

    Should work as expected, with four columns and with all of them being
    decayed over time, i.e. less weight is given for older samples.

perf record:

  Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:

  - Fix collection of build-ids when using setns() to get into namespaces,
    which had been broken with the introduction of the extra thread to
    react to PERF_RECORD_BPF_EVENT, i.e. to collect extra info for BPF
    programs. We need to unshare(CLONE_FS) in that thread so that the
    main one can do the setns(CLONE_NEWNS) when collectingthe build-ids.
    Without that symbol resolution gets more difficult and potentially
    misresolves symbols.

core:

  Igor Lubashev:

  - Further alignment in permission checking via capabilities to how the
    kernel checks what tooling tries to do.

PowerPC:

  Naveen N. Rao:

  - Sync powerpc syscall.tbl, so that 'perf trace' gets the definitions
    for recent syscalls.

libperf:

  Jiri Olsa:

  - Move the rest of the PERF_RECORD_ metadata struct definitions so that
    we can use 'union perf_event'.

libtraceevent:

  Steven Rostedt (VMware):

  - Do not free tep->cmdlines in add_new_comm() on failure.

  - Remove unneeded qsort and uses memmove instead
