This enables, for instance, to do: perf record -a --call-graph dwarf on a x86-32 or aarch64 system and then do 'perf report' on it on a x86_64 workstation. (He Kuang) - Fix crash in build_id_cache__kallsyms_path(), recent regression (Wang Nan) Infrastructure changes: - Make tools/lib/bpf use the IS_ERR return facility consistently and also stop using the _get_ term for non-reference count methods (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo) - 'perf config' refactorings (Taeung Song) Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar --- b8ab92201a64886fd3d8078fe46e51f658379823
