Merge branch 'perf-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/…

…linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

Pull perf fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
 "A set of perf related fixes:

   - fix a CR4.PCE propagation issue caused by usage of mm instead of
     active_mm and therefore propagated the wrong value.

   - perf core fixes, which plug a use-after-free issue and make the
     event inheritance on fork more robust.

   - a tooling fix for symbol handling"

* 'perf-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
  perf symbols: Fix symbols__fixup_end heuristic for corner cases
  x86/perf: Clarify why x86_pmu_event_mapped() isn't racy
  x86/perf: Fix CR4.PCE propagation to use active_mm instead of mm
  perf/core: Better explain the inherit magic
  perf/core: Simplify perf_event_free_task()
  perf/core: Fix event inheritance on fork()
  perf/core: Fix use-after-free in perf_release()
