Merge branch 'linus' into perfcounters/core-v2

Merge reason: we have gathered quite a few conflicts, need to merge upstream

+	  The linux kernel is a kind of self-extracting executable.

+	  in efficiency, compression and decompression speed.
+	  Compression speed is only relevant when building a kernel.
