* 'perf-fixes-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/linux-2.6-tip:
  perf tools: Remove -Wcast-align
  perf tools: Fix compatibility with libelf 0.8 and autodetect
  perf events: Don't generate events for the idle task when exclude_idle is set
  perf events: Fix swevent hrtimer sampling by keeping track of remaining time when enabling/disabling swevent hrtimers
