Merge tag 'perf-core-for-mingo-20161205' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/acme/linux into perf/core

Pull perf/core improvements and fixes from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:

Fixes:

 - Do not show a bogus target address in 'perf annotate' for targetless powerpc
   jump instructions such as 'bctr' (Ravi Bangoria)

 - Fix tools/build race conditions with the fixdep utility (Jiri Olsa)

 - Fix building objtool with clang (Peter Foley)

Infrastructure changes:

- Support linking perf with clang and LLVM libraries, initially statically, but
  this limitation will be lifted and shared libraries, when available, will
  be preferred to the static build, that should, as with other features, be
  enabled explicitly (Wang Nan)
