Merge tag 'perf-core-for-mingo' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/acme/linux into perf/core

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

User visible changes:

  - Support unnamed union/structure members data collection in 'perf probe'. (Masami Hiramatsu)

  - Support missing -f to override perf.data file ownership. (Yunlong Song)

Infrastructure changes:

  - No need to lookup thread twice when processing samples in 'perf script'. (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

  - No need to pass thread twice to the scripting callbacks. (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

  - No need to pass thread twice to the db-export facility. (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
