Subject: [PATCH V3 00/13] Support Lunar Lake and Arrow Lake core PMU

From: Kan Liang <kan.liang@...ux.intel.com>

Changes since V2:
- Rebase on top of the tip.git. Specifically on top of the below two
  patches.
  commit cd84351c8c1b ("perf/x86/amd: Use try_cmpxchg() in events/amd/{un,}core.c")
  commit d142df13f357 ("perf/x86/intel: Switch to new Intel CPU model defines")
- Add Reviewed-by tag from Ian

Changes since V1:
- Add x86/intel_pmu_max_num_pebs/counters/counters_fixed()
- Rename model-specific pebs_latency_data functions
- Rename V6 counter MSRs

>From the core PMU' perspective, the Lunar Lake and Arrow Lake are the
same, which are similar to the previous generation Meteor Lake. Both are
hybrid platforms, with e-core and p-core.

The key differences include:
- The e-core supports 3 new fixed counters
- The p-core supports an updated PEBS Data Source format
- More GP counters (Updated event constraint table)
- New Architectural performance monitoring V6
  (New Perfmon MSRs aliasing, umask2, eq).
- New PEBS format V6 (Counters Snapshotting group)
- New RDPMC metrics clear mode

The details for the above new features can be found in the Intel
Architecture Instruction Set Extensions and Future Features (052).
https://cdrdv2.intel.com/v1/dl/getContent/671368

The counters may not be continuous anymore. Patch 1-2 converts the max
number of counters to a mask of counters. The change is a generic change
which impacts all X86 platforms.

Patch 3-5 supports all the legacy features on LNL and ARL.

Patch 6-8 supports the new Architectural performance monitoring V6.

Patch 9-12 supports the new PEBS format V6.

Patch 13 supports the new RDPMC metrics clear mode.

Only the two features (Architectural performance monitoring V6
and the RDPMC metrics clear mode) add new formats, which impacts the ABI.
The "Sysfs PMU tests" case has covered the non-contiguous format
definition caused by the new umask. The current perf test should be good
enough to cover the ABI changes.
