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

Pull perf fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
 "Two fixes for perf x86 hardware implementations:

   - Restrict the period on Nehalem machines to prevent perf from
     hogging the CPU

   - Prevent the AMD IBS driver from overwriting the hardwre controlled
     and pre-seeded reserved bits (0-6) in the count register which
     caused a sample bias for dispatched micro-ops"

  perf/x86/amd/ibs: Fix sample bias for dispatched micro-ops
  perf/x86/intel: Restrict period on Nehalem
