Thanks, Arnaldo!

I did however notice that you don't seem to have applied Patch 1/5 from
this series:
https://www.mail-archive.com/linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org/msg1347858.html

That patch is needed to ensure perf continues to work when ftrace README
advertises support for ref_reloc_sym+offset for kretprobes. Can you
please apply that as well?
