Merge branch 'perf-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/linux-2.6-tip
* 'perf-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/linux-2.6-tip: perf tools: Fix sample size bit operations perf tools: Fix ommitted mmap data update on remap watchdog: Change the default timeout and configure nmi watchdog period based on watchdog_thresh watchdog: Disable watchdog when thresh is zero watchdog: Only disable/enable watchdog if neccessary watchdog: Fix rounding bug in get_sample_period() perf tools: Propagate event parse error handling perf tools: Robustify dynamic sample content fetch perf tools: Pre-check sample size before parsing perf tools: Move evlist sample helpers to evlist area perf tools: Remove junk code in mmap size handling perf tools: Check we are able to read the event size on mmap
