Merge tag 'perf-urgent-for-mingo-20160512' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/acme/linux into perf/urgent

Pull perf/urgent fixes from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:

- Fallback to usermode-only counters when perf_event_paranoid > 1, which
  is the case now (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

- Do not reassign parg after collapse_tree() in libtraceevent, which
  may cause tool crashes (Steven Rostedt)

- Fix the build on Fedora Rawhide, where readdir_r() is deprecated and
  also wrt -Werror=unused-const-variable= + x86_32_regoffset_table on
  !x86_64 (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

- Fix the build on Ubuntu 12.04.5, where dwarf_getlocations() isn't
  available, i.e. libdw-dev < 0.157 (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
