Pull perf updates from Ingo Molnar:
"Features:
- Add "uretprobes" - an optimization to uprobes, like kretprobes are
an optimization to kprobes. "perf probe -x file sym%return" now
works like kretprobes. By Oleg Nesterov.
- Introduce per core aggregation in 'perf stat', from Stephane
Eranian.
- Add memory profiling via PEBS, from Stephane Eranian.

and trace_uprobes, by Oleg Nesterov.
Various fixes and refactorings:
- Fix dependency of the python binding wrt libtraceevent, from
Naohiro Aota.

Pull kbuild changes from Michal Marek:
- Alias generation in modpost is cross-compile safe.
- kernel/timeconst.h is now generated using a bc script instead of
perl.
- scripts/link-vmlinux.sh now works with an alternative
$KCONFIG_CONFIG.
- destination-y for exported headers is supported in Kbuild files
again.
- depmod is called with -P $CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX on architectures that
need it.
- CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_REDUCED disables var-tracking
- scripts/setlocalversion works with too much translated locales ;)
* 'kbuild' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mmarek/kbuild:
kbuild: Fix reading of .config in link-vmlinux.sh
kbuild: Unset language specific variables in setlocalversion script

Pull module update from Rusty Russell:
"The sweeping change is to make add_taint() explicitly indicate whether
to disable lockdep, but it's a mechanical change."
* tag 'modules-next-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rusty/linux:
MODSIGN: Add option to not sign modules during modules_install
MODSIGN: Add -s <signature> option to sign-file
MODSIGN: Specify the hash algorithm on sign-file command line
MODSIGN: Simplify Makefile with a Kconfig helper
module: clean up load_module a little more.
modpost: Ignore ARC specific non-alloc sections
module: constify within_module_*
taint: add explicit flag to show whether lock dep is still OK.
module: printk message when module signature fail taints kernel.
Newer gcc enables the var-tracking pass with -g to keep track which
registers contain which variables. This is one of the slower passes in gcc.
With reduced debug info (aimed at objdump -S, but not using a full debugger)
we don't need this fine grained tracking. But it was still enabled
because -g was enabled. Disable it explicitely for DEBUG_INFO_REDUCED.
On my 8T workstation this gives me about a 12 second gain in building
a reasonable kernel config (2min16 vs 2min28) with DEBUG_INFO_REDUCED.
With full DEBUG_INFO it takes 2min46
The actual improvement in user time taken by the compiler is much higher
(all CPU combined user time 15min5s vs 16m30 before)
but the usual amdahl bottleneck on the linker prevents more speedup.
It still saves some more energy and keeps cycles for other things.

On architectures which have symbol prefixes, depmod emits lots of
warnings like this:
WARNING: $module.ko needs unknown symbol $symbol
This is because depmod isn't being passed the -P <symbol_prefix>
arguments to specify the symbol prefix to ignore. This option is
included since the 3.13 release of module-init-tools.
Update scripts/depmod.sh to take extra arguments for the symbol prefix
(required but may be empty), and update the main Makefile to always pass
"$(CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX)" to scripts/depmod.sh.
If the provided symbol prefix is non-empty, scripts/depmod.sh checks if
depmod --version reports module-init-tools with a version number < 3.13
otherwise it appends -P $SYMBOL_PREFIX to the depmod command line.

Pull two x86 kernel build changes from Ingo Molnar:
"The first change modifies how 'make oldconfig' works on cross-bitness
situations on x86. It was felt the new behavior of preserving the
bitness of the .config is more logical. This is a leftover of the
merge.
The second change eliminates a Perl warning. (There's another, more
complete fix resulting of this warning fix, which second fix in flight
to you via the kbuild tree, which will remove the timeconst.pl script
altogether.)"
