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

Pull perf updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "A larger set of perf updates.

  Not all of them are strictly fixes, but that's solely the tip
  maintainers fault as they let the timely -rc1 pull request fall
  through the cracks for various reasons including travel. So I'm
  sending this nevertheless because rebasing and distangling fixes and
  updates would be a mess and risky as well. As of tomorrow, a strict
  fixes separation is happening again. Sorry for the slip-up.

  Kernel:

   - Handle RECORD_MMAP vs. RECORD_MMAP2 correctly so different
     consumers of the mmap event get what they requested.

  Tools:

   - A larger set of updates to perf record/report/scripts vs. time
     stamp handling

   - More Python3 fixups

   - A pile of memory leak plumbing

   - perf BPF improvements and fixes

   - Finalize the perf.data directory storage"

[ Note: the kernel part is strictly a fix, the updates are purely to
  tooling       - Linus ]
