perf/core improvements and fixes:

BPF:
 
   Jiri Olsa:
 
   - Preserve eBPF maps when loading kcore.
 
   - Fix up DSO name padding in 'perf script --call-trace', as BPF DSO names are
     much larger than what we used to have there.
 
   - Add --show-bpf-events to 'perf script'.
 
 perf trace:
 
   Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:
 
   - Add string table generators and beautify arguments for the new fspick,
     fsmount, fsconfig, fsopen, move_mount and open_tree syscalls, as well
     as new values for arguments of clone and sync_file_range syscalls.
 
 perf version:
 
   Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:
 
   - Append 12 git SHA chars to the version string.
 
 Namespaces:
 
   Namhyung Kim:
 
   - Add missing --namespaces option to 'perf top', to generate and process
     namespace events, just like present for 'perf record'.
 
 Intel PT:
 
   Andrian Hunter:
 
   - Fix itrace defaults for 'perf script', not using the 'use_browser' variable
     to figure out what options are better for 'script' and 'report'
 
   - Allow root fixing up buildid cache permissions in the perf-with-kcore.sh
     script when sharing that cache with another user.
 
   - Improve sync_switch, a facility used to synchronize decoding of HW
     traces more closely with the point in the kerne where a context
     switch took place, by processing the PERF_RECORD_CONTEXT_SWITCH "in"
     metadata records too.
 
   - Make the exported-sql-viewer.py GUI also support pyside2, which
     upgrades from qt4 used in pyside to qt5. Use the argparser module
     for more easily addition of new command line args.
