perf/core improvements and fixes:

New features:
 
 - Add PERF_RECORD_NAMESPACES so that the kernel can record information
   required to associate samples to namespaces, helping in container
   problem characterization.
 
   Now the 'perf record has a --namespace' option to ask for such info,
   and when present, it can be used, initially, via a new sort order,
   'cgroup_id', allowing histogram entry bucketization by a (device, inode)
   based cgroup identifier (Hari Bathini)
 
 - Add --next option to 'perf sched timehist', showing what is the next
   thread to run (Brendan Gregg)
 
 Fixes:
 
 - Fix segfault with basic block 'cycles' sort dimension (Changbin Du)
 
 - Add c2c to command-list.txt, making it appear in the 'perf help'
   output (Changbin Du)
 
 - Fix zeroing of 'abs_path' variable in the perf hists browser switch
   file code (Changbin Du)
 
 - Hide tips messages when -q/--quiet is given to 'perf report' (Namhyung Kim)
 
 Infrastructure:
 
 - Use ref_reloc_sym + offset to setup kretprobes (Naveen Rao)
 
 - Ignore generated files pmu-events/{jevents,pmu-events.c} for git (Changbin Du)
 
 Documentation:
 
 - Document +field style argument support for --field option (Changbin Du)
 
 - Clarify 'perf c2c --stats' help message (Namhyung Kim)
