perf/core improvements and fixes:

Browse source 
User visible new features:
 
 - Add --buildid-all option to 'perf record' to avoid processing
   samples, just collecting build-ids for _all_ the DSOs that appears
   in PERF_RECORD_MMAP records (Namhyung Kim)
 
 - Add some more usage tips to appear in the hists browser
   (top & report) (Namhyung Kim, Andi Kleen)
 
 - Fix mmap2 event allocation in synthesize code, where we were
   allocating space just for PERF_RECORD_MMAP, the older variant,
   which could lead to corner case problems (Wang Nan)
 
 Developer stuff:
 
 - Make list.h self-sufficient, removing one more reference to
   kernel headers that lead to recent breakage when some rculist
   change was made in the kernel sources. (Josh Poimboeuf)
 
   Add missing NORETURN define for parse-options.h in
   tools/lib/subcmd (Josh Poimboeuf)
 
 - Fallback to srcdir/Documentation/ when not finding tips.txt
   elsewhere (Namhyung Kim)
