We already lookup the associated event_format when reading the perf.data
header, so that we can cache the tracepoint name in evsel->name, so do
it a little further and save the event_format itself, so that we can
avoid relookups in tools that need to access it.
Change the tools to take the most obvious advantage, when they were
using pevent_find_event directly. More work is needed for further
removing the need of a pointer to pevent, such as when asking for event
field values ("common_pid" and the other common fields and per
event_format fields).
This is something that was planned but only got actually done when
Andrey Wagin needed to do this lookup at perf_tool->sample() time, when
we don't have access to pevent (session->pevent) to use with
pevent_find_event().

Pull perf/core fixes and some late updates from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:
* Make clean brace expansion fix for some shells, from Palmer Cox
* Warn user just once per guest kernel when not finding kernel info,
from David Ahern
* perf test fix from Jiri Olsa
* Fix error handling on event creation in perf top, from David Ahern
* Fix check on perf_target__strnerror, from Namhyung Kim
* Save the whole cmdline, from David Ahern
* Prep work for the DWARF CFI post unwinder, so that it doesn't
uses perf_session in lots of places, just evlist/evsel is enough.

Pull VFS fixes and cleanups from Al Viro.
Most of this is the series to remove sync_supers() and the
->write_supers VFS callback from Artem Bityutskiy. One commit to do the
actual removal work, a whole series of commits to fix up stale comments
etc all over the tree.
There's also a regression fix for an incorrect use of mnt_drop_write()
in do_dentry_open().

Finally we can kill the 'sync_supers' kernel thread along with the
'->write_super()' superblock operation because all the users are gone.
Now every file-system is supposed to self-manage own superblock and
its dirty state.
The nice thing about killing this thread is that it improves power management.
Indeed, 'sync_supers' is a source of monotonic system wake-ups - it woke up
every 5 seconds no matter what - even if there were no dirty superblocks and
even if there were no file-systems using this service (e.g., btrfs and
journalled ext4 do not need it). So it was wasting power most of the time. And
because the thread was in the core of the kernel, all systems had to have it.
So I am quite happy to make it go away.
Interestingly, this thread is a left-over from the pdflush kernel thread which
was a self-forking kernel thread responsible for all the write-back in old
Linux kernels. It was turned into per-block device BDI threads, and
'sync_supers' was a left-over. Thus, R.I.P, pdflush as well.
