- Do event name substring search as last resort in 'perf list'.

- Reduce min 'perf stat --interval-print/-I' to 10ms. (Kan Liang)
perf stat --interval in action:
# perf stat -e cycles -I 50 -a usleep $((200 * 1000))
print interval < 100ms. The overhead percentage could be high in some cases. Please proceed with caution.

- Allow for max_stack greater than PERF_MAX_STACK_DEPTH, as when
synthesizing callchains from Intel PT data. (Adrian Hunter)
- Allow probing on kmodules without DWARF. (Masami Hiramatsu)
- Fix a segfault when processing a perf.data file with callchains using
"perf report --call-graph none". (Namhyung Kim)
- Fix unresolved COMMs in 'perf top' when -s comm is used. (Namhyung Kim)
- Register idle thread in 'perf top'. (Namhyung Kim)
- Change 'record.samples' type to unsigned long long, fixing output of
number of samples in 32-bit architectures. (Yang Shi)
