Linus Torvalds 4d84667627 Performance events changes for v7.0:
x86 PMU driver updates:
 
  - Add support for the core PMU for Intel Diamond Rapids (DMR) CPUs.
    Compared to previous iterations of the Intel PMU code, there's
    been a lot of changes, which center around three main areas:
 
     - Introduce the OFF-MODULE RESPONSE (OMR) facility to
       replace the Off-Core Response (OCR) facility
 
     - New PEBS data source encoding layout
 
     - Support the new "RDPMC user disable" feature
 
    (Dapeng Mi)
 
  - Likewise, a large series adds uncore PMU support for
    Intel Diamond Rapids (DMR) CPUs, which center around these
    four main areas:
 
     - DMR may have two Integrated I/O and Memory Hub (IMH) dies,
       separate from the compute tile (CBB) dies.  Each CBB and
       each IMH die has its own discovery domain.
 
     - Unlike prior CPUs that retrieve the global discovery table
       portal exclusively via PCI or MSR, DMR uses PCI for IMH PMON
       discovery and MSR for CBB PMON discovery.
 
     - DMR introduces several new PMON types: SCA, HAMVF, D2D_ULA,
       UBR, PCIE4, CRS, CPC, ITC, OTC, CMS, and PCIE6.
 
     - IIO free-running counters in DMR are MMIO-based, unlike SPR.
 
    (Zide Chen)
 
  - Also add support for Add missing PMON units for Intel Panther Lake,
    and support Nova Lake (NVL), which largely maps to Panther Lake.
    (Zide Chen)
 
  - KVM integration: Add support for mediated vPMUs (by Kan Liang
    and Sean Christopherson, with fixes and cleanups by Peter Zijlstra,
    Sandipan Das and Mingwei Zhang)
 
  - Add Intel cstate driver to support for Wildcat Lake (WCL)
    CPUs, which are a low-power variant of Panther Lake.
    (Zide Chen)
 
  - Add core, cstate and MSR PMU support for the Airmont NP Intel CPU
    (aka MaxLinear Lightning Mountain), which maps to the existing
    Airmont code. (Martin Schiller)
 
 Performance enhancements:
 
  - core: Speed up kexec shutdown by avoiding unnecessary
    cross CPU calls. (Jan H. Schönherr)
 
  - core: Fix slow perf_event_task_exit() with LBR callstacks
    (Namhyung Kim)
 
 User-space stack unwinding support:
 
  - Various cleanups and refactorings in preparation to generalize
    the unwinding code for other architectures. (Jens Remus)
 
 Uprobes updates:
 
  - Transition from kmap_atomic to kmap_local_page (Keke Ming)
 
  - Fix incorrect lockdep condition in filter_chain() (Breno Leitao)
 
  - Fix XOL allocation failure for 32-bit tasks (Oleg Nesterov)
 
 Misc fixes and cleanups:
 
  - s390: Remove kvm_types.h from Kbuild (Randy Dunlap)
 
  - x86/intel/uncore: Convert comma to semicolon (Chen Ni)
 
  - x86/uncore: Clean up const mismatch (Greg Kroah-Hartman)
 
  - x86/ibs: Fix typo in dc_l2tlb_miss comment (Xiang-Bin Shi)
