Pull perf fixes from Ingo Molnar: - an s2ram related fix on AMD systems - a perf fault handling bug that is relatively old but which has become much easier to trigger in v3.13 after commit e00b12e64be9 ("perf/x86: Further optimize copy_from_user_nmi()") * 'perf-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: perf/x86/amd/ibs: Fix waking up from S3 for AMD family 10h x86, mm, perf: Allow recursive faults from interrupts
