Merge branch 'perf-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull perf fixes from Ingo Molnar: "Two leftover fixes from the v3.17 cycle - these will be forwarded to stable as well, if they prove problem-free in wider testing as well" [ Side note: the "fix perf bug in fork()" fix had also come in through Andrew's patch-bomb - Linus ] * 'perf-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: perf: Fix perf bug in fork() perf: Fix unclone_ctx() vs. locking
