User visible changes:
- Add support for using several Intel PT features (CYC, MTC packets), the
relevant documentation was updated: tools/perf/Documentation/intel-pt.txt,

the event config terms and relevant external documentation for further
reading. (Adrian Hunter)
- Introduce support for probing at an absolute address, for user and kernel
'perf probe's, useful when one have the symbol maps on a developer machine
but not on an embedded system. (Wang Nan)
- Fix 'perf probe' list results when a symbol can't be found or the
address is zero and when an offset is provided without a function (Wang Nan)
- Do not print '0x (null)' in uprobes when offset is zero (Wang Nan)
- Clear the progress bar at the end of a ordered_events flush, fixing
an UI artifact when, after ordering the events the screen doesn't get
completely redraw, for instance, when an error window covers just the
center of the screen and waits for user input. (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- Fix 'annotate' segfault by resetting the dso find_symbol cache when removing
symbols. (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
