Subject: [PATCH v3 00/10] drivers/perf: CPU PMU driver for Apple M1

The M1 SoC embeds a per-CPU PMU that has a very different programming
interface compared to the architected PMUv3 that is normally present
on standard implementations.

This small series adds a driver for this HW by leveraging the arm_pmu
infrastructure, resulting in a rather simple driver.

Of course, we know next to nothing about the actual events this PMU
counts, aside from CPU cycles and instructions. Everything else is
undocumented (though as Dougall pointed out, someone could extract the
relevant information from a macOS install if they wanted -- I don't).

My hope is that this driver will help people to explore the event
space and propose possible interpretations for these events using
reproducible test cases.

* From v2 [2]:
  - Reworked the way the FIQ virtual affinity is exposed (now coming
    from the DT instead of being internal to the irqchip driver)
  - Dropped the locking from the PMU driver after Mark's review
  - Required the exclude_guest flag to be set, as the PMU doesn't seem
    to be able to count guest events, at least by default
  - Dropped the counter-stop on interrupt and instead stop the whole
    PMU on interrupt
  - Dropped the kernel taint, as I couldn't find a good way to do that
    on first use
  - Collected RBs from Hector

* From v1 [1]:
  - Added a few comments clarifying the event mapping to counters
  - Spelling fixes
  - Collected Acks from Rob
