  perf probe: Support probing at absolute addresses (2015-08-25 12:36:22 -0300)

----------------------------------------------------------------
perf/core improvements and fixes:

User visible:

- Add support for using several Intel PT features (CYC, MTC packets), the
  relevant documentation was updated: tools/perf/Documentation/intel-pt.txt,
  briefly describing those packets, its purposes, how to configure them in
  the event config terms and relevant external documentation for further
  reading. (Adrian Hunter)

- Introduce support for probing at an absolut address, for user and kernel
  'perf probe's, useful when one have the symbol maps on a developer machine
  but not on an embedded system (Wang Nan)

- Clear the progress bar at the end of a ordered_events flush, fixing
  an UI artifact when, after ordering the events the screen doesn't get
  completely redraw, for instance, when an error window covers just the
  center of the screen and waits for user input. (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

- Fix 'annotate' segfault by resetting the dso find_symbol cache when removing
  symbols (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

Infrastructure:

- Fix Intel PT 'instructions' sample period (Adrian Hunter)

- Prevent segfault when reading probe point with absolute address (Wang Nan)

Build fixes:

- Fix tarball build broken by pt/bts (Adrian Hunter)
