Subject: [PATCH v2 0/7] perf: Arm SPEv1.2 support

This series adds support for Arm SPEv1.2 which is part of the
Armv8.7/Armv9.2 architecture. There's 2 new features that affect the 
kernel: a new event filter bit, branch 'not taken', and an inverted 
event filter register. 

Since this support adds new registers and fields, first the SPE register 
defines are converted to automatic generation.

Note that the 'config3' addition in sysfs format files causes SPE to 
break. A stable fix e552b7be12ed ("perf: Skip and warn on unknown format 
'configN' attrs") landed in v6.1-rc1.

The perf tool side changes are available here[1].

Tested on FVP.
