To pick up the changes in:

  97fa21f65c3eb5bb ("x86/resctrl: Move MSR defines into msr-index.h")
  7420ae3bb977b46e ("x86/intel_epb: Set Alder Lake N and Raptor Lake P normal EPB")

Addressing these tools/perf build warnings:

    diff -u tools/arch/x86/include/asm/msr-index.h arch/x86/include/asm/msr-index.h
    Warning: Kernel ABI header at 'tools/arch/x86/include/asm/msr-index.h' differs from latest version at 'arch/x86/include/asm/msr-index.h'

That makes the beautification scripts to pick some new entries:

Now one can trace systemwide asking to see backtraces to where that MSR
is being read/written, see this example with a previous update:

  # perf trace -e msr:*_msr/max-stack=32/ --filter="msr&gt;=IA32_U_CET &amp;&amp; msr&lt;=IA32_INT_SSP_TAB"
  ^C#

If we use -v (verbose mode) we can see what it does behind the scenes:

  # perf trace -v -e msr:*_msr/max-stack=32/ --filter="msr&gt;=IA32_U_CET &amp;&amp; msr&lt;=IA32_INT_SSP_TAB"

Pull kvm updates from Paolo Bonzini:
 "ARM64:

   - Enable the per-vcpu dirty-ring tracking mechanism, together with an
     option to keep the good old dirty log around for pages that are
     dirtied by something other than a vcpu.

   - Switch to the relaxed parallel fault handling, using RCU to delay
     page table reclaim and giving better performance under load.

   - Relax the MTE ABI, allowing a VMM to use the MAP_SHARED mapping
     option, which multi-process VMMs such as crosvm rely on (see merge
     commit 382b5b87a97d: "Fix a number of issues with MTE, such as
     races on the tags being initialised vs the PG_mte_tagged flag as
     well as the lack of support for VM_SHARED when KVM is involved.
     Patches from Catalin Marinas and Peter Collingbourne").

   - Merge the pKVM shadow vcpu state tracking that allows the
     hypervisor to have its own view of a vcpu, keeping that state
     private.

   - Add support for the PMUv3p5 architecture revision, bringing support
     for 64bit counters on systems that support it, and fix the
     no-quite-compliant CHAIN-ed counter support for the machines that
     actually exist out there.

   - Fix a handful of minor issues around 52bit VA/PA support (64kB
     pages only) as a prefix of the oncoming support for 4kB and 16kB
     pages.

   - Pick a small set of documentation and spelling fixes, because no
     good merge window would be complete without those.

  s390:

   - Second batch of the lazy destroy patches

   - First batch of KVM changes for kernel virtual != physical address
     support

   - Removal of a unused function

  x86:

   - Allow compiling out SMM support

   - Cleanup and documentation of SMM state save area format

   - Preserve interrupt shadow in SMM state save area

   - Respond to generic signals during slow page faults

   - Fixes and optimizations for the non-executable huge page errata
     fix.

   - Reprogram all performance counters on PMU filter change

   - Cleanups to Hyper-V emulation and tests

   - Process Hyper-V TLB flushes from a nested guest (i.e. from a L2
     guest running on top of a L1 Hyper-V hypervisor)

   - Advertise several new Intel features

   - x86 Xen-for-KVM:

      - Allow the Xen runstate information to cross a page boundary

      - Allow XEN_RUNSTATE_UPDATE flag behaviour to be configured

      - Add support for 32-bit guests in SCHEDOP_poll

   - Notable x86 fixes and cleanups:

      - One-off fixes for various emulation flows (SGX, VMXON, NRIPS=0).

      - Reinstate IBPB on emulated VM-Exit that was incorrectly dropped
        a few years back when eliminating unnecessary barriers when
        switching between vmcs01 and vmcs02.

      - Clean up vmread_error_trampoline() to make it more obvious that
        params must be passed on the stack, even for x86-64.

      - Let userspace set all supported bits in MSR_IA32_FEAT_CTL
        irrespective of the current guest CPUID.

      - Fudge around a race with TSC refinement that results in KVM
        incorrectly thinking a guest needs TSC scaling when running on a
        CPU with a constant TSC, but no hardware-enumerated TSC
        frequency.

      - Advertise (on AMD) that the SMM_CTL MSR is not supported

      - Remove unnecessary exports

  Generic:

   - Support for responding to signals during page faults; introduces
     new FOLL_INTERRUPTIBLE flag that was reviewed by mm folks

  Selftests:

   - Fix an inverted check in the access tracking perf test, and restore
     support for asserting that there aren't too many idle pages when
     running on bare metal.

   - Fix build errors that occur in certain setups (unsure exactly what
     is unique about the problematic setup) due to glibc overriding
     static_assert() to a variant that requires a custom message.

   - Introduce actual atomics for clear/set_bit() in selftests

   - Add support for pinning vCPUs in dirty_log_perf_test.

   - Rename the so called "perf_util" framework to "memstress".

   - Add a lightweight psuedo RNG for guest use, and use it to randomize
     the access pattern and write vs. read percentage in the memstress
     tests.

   - Add a common ucall implementation; code dedup and pre-work for
     running SEV (and beyond) guests in selftests.

   - Provide a common constructor and arch hook, which will eventually
     be used by x86 to automatically select the right hypercall (AMD vs.
     Intel).

   - A bunch of added/enabled/fixed selftests for ARM64, covering
     memslots, breakpoints, stage-2 faults and access tracking.

   - x86-specific selftest changes:

      - Clean up x86's page table management.

      - Clean up and enhance the "smaller maxphyaddr" test, and add a
        related test to cover generic emulation failure.

      - Clean up the nEPT support checks.

      - Add X86_PROPERTY_* framework to retrieve multi-bit CPUID values.

      - Fix an ordering issue in the AMX test introduced by recent
        conversions to use kvm_cpu_has(), and harden the code to guard
        against similar bugs in the future. Anything that tiggers
        caching of KVM's supported CPUID, kvm_cpu_has() in this case,
        effectively hides opt-in XSAVE features if the caching occurs
        before the test opts in via prctl().

  Documentation:

   - Remove deleted ioctls from documentation

   - Clean up the docs for the x86 MSR filter.

   - Various fixes"

Convert {clear,set}_bit() to atomics as KVM's ucall implementation relies
on clear_bit() being atomic, they are defined in atomic.h, and the same
helpers in the kernel proper are atomic.

KVM's ucall infrastructure is the only user of clear_bit() in tools/, and
there are no true set_bit() users.  tools/testing/nvdimm/ does make heavy
use of set_bit(), but that code builds into a kernel module of sorts, i.e.
pulls in all of the kernel's header and so is already getting the kernel's
atomic set_bit().

DE_CFG contains the LFENCE serializing bit, restore it on resume too.
This is relevant to older families due to the way how they do S3.

Unify and correct naming while at it.

This only causes these perf files to be rebuilt:

  CC       /tmp/build/perf/bench/mem-memset-x86-64-asm.o

And addresses this perf build warning:

  ca5b7c0d9621702e ("perf/x86/amd/lbr: Add LbrExtV2 branch record support")

Addressing these tools/perf build warnings:

    diff -u tools/arch/x86/include/asm/msr-index.h arch/x86/include/asm/msr-index.h
    Warning: Kernel ABI header at 'tools/arch/x86/include/asm/msr-index.h' differs from latest version at 'arch/x86/include/asm/msr-index.h'

That makes the beautification scripts to pick some new entries:

Now one can trace systemwide asking to see backtraces to where that MSR
is being read/written, see this example with a previous update:

  # perf trace -e msr:*_msr/max-stack=32/ --filter="msr&gt;=IA32_U_CET &amp;&amp; msr&lt;=IA32_INT_SSP_TAB"
  ^C#

If we use -v (verbose mode) we can see what it does behind the scenes:

  # perf trace -v -e msr:*_msr/max-stack=32/ --filter="msr&gt;=IA32_U_CET &amp;&amp; msr&lt;=IA32_INT_SSP_TAB"
