Subject: [Patch v6 00/10] arch-PEBS enabling for Intel platforms

Changes:
v5 -> v6:
  * Rebase code to last tip perf/core tree + "x86 perf bug fixes and
    optimization" patchset
 
v4 -> v5:
  * Rebase code to 6.16-rc3
  * Allocate/free arch-PEBS buffer in callbacks *prepare_cpu/*dead_cpu
    (patch 07/10, Peter)
  * Code and comments refine (patch 09/10, Peter)

Please notice this patch set is based on tip perf/core tree (448f97fba901)
+ the patch series "x86 perf bug fixes and optimization"[1].

This patchset introduces architectural PEBS support for Intel platforms
like Clearwater Forest (CWF) and Panther Lake (PTL). The detailed
information about arch-PEBS can be found in chapter 11
"architectural PEBS" of "Intel Architecture Instruction Set Extensions
and Future Features".

This patch set doesn't include the SSP and SIMD regs (OPMASK/YMM/ZMM)
sampling support for arch-PEBS to avoid the dependency for the basic
SIMD regs sampling support patch series[2]. Once the basic SIMD regs
sampling is supported, the arch-PEBS based SSP and SIMD regs
(OPMASK/YMM/ZMM) sampling would be supported in a later patch set.

Tests:
  Run below tests on Clearwater Forest and Pantherlake, no issue is
  found.

  1. Basic perf counting case.
    perf stat -e '{branches,branches,branches,branches,branches,branches,branches,branches,cycles,instructions,ref-cycles}' sleep 1

  2. Basic PMI based perf sampling case.
    perf record -e '{branches,branches,branches,branches,branches,branches,branches,branches,cycles,instructions,ref-cycles}' sleep 1

  3. Basic PEBS based perf sampling case.
    perf record -e '{branches,branches,branches,branches,branches,branches,branches,branches,cycles,instructions,ref-cycles}:p' sleep 1

  4. PEBS sampling case with basic, GPRs, vector-registers and LBR groups
    perf record -e branches:p -Iax,bx,ip,xmm0 -b -c 10000 sleep 1

  5. User space PEBS sampling case with basic, GPRs and LBR groups
    perf record -e branches:p --user-regs=ax,bx,ip -b -c 10000 sleep 1

  6 PEBS sampling case with auxiliary (memory info) group
    perf mem record sleep 1

  7. PEBS sampling case with counter group
    perf record -e '{branches:p,branches,cycles}:S' -c 10000 sleep 1

  8. Perf stat and record test
    perf test 96; perf test 125
