Pull perf/urgent fixes from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:

- Fix probing of precise_ip level for default cycles event, that
  got broken recently on x86_64 when its arch code started
  considering invalid requesting precise samples when not sampling
  (i.e. when attr.sample_period == 0).

  This also fixes another problem in s/390 where the precision
  probing with sample_period == 0 returned precise_ip > 0, that
  then, when setting up the real cycles event (not probing) would
  return EOPNOTSUPP for precise_ip > 0 (as determined previously
  by probing) and sample_period > 0.

  These problems resulted in attr_precise not being set to the
  highest precision available on x86.64 when no event was specified,
  i.e. the canonical:

	perf record ./workload

  would end up using attr.precise_ip = 0. As a workaround this would
  need to be done:

	perf record -e cycles:P ./workload

  And on s/390 it would plain not work, requiring using:

        perf record -e cycles ./workload

  as a workaround.  (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

- Fix perf build with ARCH=x86_64, when ARCH should be transformed
  into ARCH=x86, just like with the main kernel Makefile and
  tools/objtool's, i.e. use SRCARCH. (Jiada Wang)

- Avoid accessing uninitialized data structures when unwinding with
  elfutils's libdw, making it more closely mimic libunwind's unwinder.

config EXT2_FS
	tristate "Second extended fs support"
	help
	  Ext2 is a standard Linux file system for hard disks.

	  To compile this file system support as a module, choose M here: the
	  module will be called ext2.

	  If unsure, say Y.

config EXT2_FS_XATTR
	bool "Ext2 extended attributes"
	depends on EXT2_FS
	help
	  Extended attributes are name:value pairs associated with inodes by
	  the kernel or by users (see the attr(5) manual page, or visit
	  <http://acl.bestbits.at/> for details).

	  If unsure, say N.

config EXT2_FS_POSIX_ACL

	depends on EXT2_FS_XATTR
	select FS_POSIX_ACL
	help
	  Posix Access Control Lists (ACLs) support permissions for users and
	  groups beyond the owner/group/world scheme.

	  To learn more about Access Control Lists, visit the Posix ACLs for
	  Linux website <http://acl.bestbits.at/>.

	  If you don't know what Access Control Lists are, say N

config EXT2_FS_SECURITY
	bool "Ext2 Security Labels"
	depends on EXT2_FS_XATTR
	help
	  Security labels support alternative access control models
	  implemented by security modules like SELinux.  This option
	  enables an extended attribute handler for file security
	  labels in the ext2 filesystem.

	  If you are not using a security module that requires using
	  extended attributes for file security labels, say N.
