Merge tag 'perf-tools-fixes-for-v5.9-2020-09-16' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/acme/linux

Pull perf tools fixes from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:

 - Set PERF_SAMPLE_PERIOD if attr->freq is set.

 - Remove trailing commas from AMD JSON vendor event files.

 - Don't clear event's period if set by a event definition term.

 - Leader sampling shouldn't clear sample period in 'perf test'.

 - Fix the "signal" test inline assembly when built with DEBUG=1.

 - Fix memory leaks detected by ASAN, some in normal paths, some in
   error paths.

 - Fix 2 memory sanitizer warnings in 'perf bench'.

 - Fix the ratio comments of miss-events in 'perf stat'.

 - Prevent override of attr->sample_period for libpfm4 events.

 - Sync kvm.h and in.h headers with the kernel sources.
