perf/core improvements and fixes:

. Show progress on histogram collapsing, that can take a long time, from
   Namhyung Kim.
 
 . Support "$vars" meta argument syntax for local variables, allowing
   asking for all possible variables at a given probe point to be
   collected when it hits, from Masami Hiramatsu.
 
 . Address the root cause of that 'perf sched' stack initialization build
   slowdown, by programmatically setting a big array after moving the
   global variable back to the stack. Fix from Adrian Hunter.
 
 . Do not repipe attributes to a perf.data file in 'perf inject',
   fix from Adrian Hunter
 
 . Change the procps visible command-name of invididual benchmark tests
   plus cleanups, from Ingo Molnar.
 
 . Do not accept parse_tag_value() overflow, fix from Adrian Hunter.
 
 . Validate that mmap_pages is not too big. From Adrian Hunter.
 
 . Fix non-debug build, from Adrian Hunter
 
 . Clarify the "sample parsing" test entry.
 
 . Consider PERF_SAMPLE_TRANSACTION in the "sample parsing" test.
