User visible:
 
 - Use the alternative with the most descriptive filename containing
   a vmlinux file for a given build-id, providing a better title line
   for tools such as 'annotate' (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
 
 - Remove help messages about previous right and left arrow keybidings, that
   were repurposed for horizontal scrolling (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
 
 - Inform how to reset the symbol filter in the hists browser (top & report)
   (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
 
 - Add 'm' key for context menu display in the hists browser, that became
   inacessible with the repurposing of the right arrow key for horizontal
   scrolling (Namhyung Kim)
 
 - Use debug_frame for callchains if eh_frame is unusable (Rabin Vicent)
 
 Build fixes:
 
 - Fix strict-aliasing breakage with gcc 4.4 in the READ_ONCE/WRITE_ONCE code
   adopted from the kernel tree, that builds with -fno-strict-aliasing while
   tools/perf/ uses -Wstrict-aliasing=3 (Jiri Olsa)
 
 - Fix unw_word_t pointer casts in code using libunwind for callchains,
   fixing the build in at least 32-bit MIPS systems (Rabin Vicent)
 
 - Workaround cross compile build problems related to fixdep (Jiri Olsa)
