Pull perf fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
"Two fixes for perf x86 hardware implementations:
- Restrict the period on Nehalem machines to prevent perf from
hogging the CPU
- Prevent the AMD IBS driver from overwriting the hardwre controlled
and pre-seeded reserved bits (0-6) in the count register which
caused a sample bias for dispatched micro-ops"

perf/x86/amd/ibs: Fix sample bias for dispatched micro-ops
perf/x86/intel: Restrict period on Nehalem
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
