Subject: [PATCH v4 0/3] Assorted fixes in RISC-V PMU driver
This series contains 3 fixes out of which the first one is a new fix
for invalid event data reported in lkml[2]. The last two are v3 of Samuel's
patch[1]. I added the RB/TB/Fixes tag and moved 1 unrelated change
to its own patch. I also changed an error message in kvm vcpu_pmu from
pr_err to pr_debug to avoid redundant failure error messages generated
due to the boot time quering of events implemented in the patch[1]
Here is the original cover letter for the patch[1]
Before this patch:

Changes in v4:
- Added SoB tags.
- Improved the commit message in patch 1
- Link to v3: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240626-misc_perf_fixes-v3-0-de3f8ed88dab@rivosinc.com
Changes in v3:
- Added one more fix
- Separated an unrelated change to its own patch.
- Rebase and Added RB/TB/Fixes tag.
- Changed a error message in kvm code to avoid unnecessary failures
at guest booting.
Changes in v2:
