Pull perf tools fixes from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:

 - Add Adrian Hunter to MAINTAINERS as a perf tools reviewer

 - Sync various tools/ copies of kernel headers with the kernel sources,
   this time trying to avoid first merging with upstream to then update
   but instead copy from upstream so that a merge is avoided and the end
   result after merging this pull request is the one expected,
   tools/perf/check-headers.sh (mostly) happy, less warnings while
   building tools/perf/

 - Fix counting when initial delay configured by setting
   perf_attr.enable_on_exec when starting workloads from the perf
   command line

 - Don't avoid emitting a PERF_RECORD_MMAP2 in 'perf inject
   --buildid-all' when that record comes with a build-id, otherwise we
   end up not being able to resolve symbols

 - Don't use comma as the CSV output separator the "stat+csv_output"
   test, as comma can appear on some tests as a modifier for an event,
   use @ instead, ditto for the JSON linter test

 - The offcpu test was looking for some bits being set on
   task_struct-&gt;prev_state without masking other bits not important for
   this specific 'perf test', fix it

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"

To pick up the changes in:

  89b0e7de3451a17f ("KVM: arm64: nv: Introduce nested virtualization VCPU feature")
  14329b825ffb7f27 ("KVM: x86/pmu: Introduce masked events to the pmu event filter")
  6213b701a9df0472 ("KVM: x86: Replace 0-length arrays with flexible arrays")
  3fd49805d19d1c56 ("KVM: s390: Extend MEM_OP ioctl by storage key checked cmpxchg")
  14329b825ffb7f27 ("KVM: x86/pmu: Introduce masked events to the pmu event filter")

That don't change functionality in tools/perf, as no new ioctl is added
for the 'perf trace' scripts to harvest.

This addresses these perf build warnings:

  Warning: Kernel ABI header at 'tools/include/uapi/linux/kvm.h' differs from latest version at 'include/uapi/linux/kvm.h'

To pick the changes in:

  8c29f01654053258 ("x86/sev: Add SEV-SNP guest feature negotiation support")

That triggers:

But this time causes no changes in tooling results, as the introduced
SVM_VMGEXIT_TERM_REQUEST exit reason wasn't added to SVM_EXIT_REASONS,
that is used in kvm-stat.c.

Pull objtool updates from Ingo Molnar:

 - Shrink 'struct instruction', to improve objtool performance &amp; memory
   footprint

 - Other maximum memory usage reductions - this makes the build both
   faster, and fixes kernel build OOM failures on allyesconfig and
   similar configs when they try to build the final (large) vmlinux.o

 - Fix ORC unwinding when a kprobe (INT3) is set on a stack-modifying
   single-byte instruction (PUSH/POP or LEAVE). This requires the
   extension of the ORC metadata structure with a 'signal' field

 - Misc fixes &amp; cleanups

Pull perf tools updates from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:
 "Miscellaneous:

   - Add Ian Rogers to MAINTAINERS as a perf tools reviewer.

   - Add support for retire latency feature (pipeline stall of a
     instruction compared to the previous one, in cycles) present on
     some Intel processors.

   - Add 'perf c2c' report option to show false sharing with adjacent
     cachelines, to be used in machines with cacheline prefetching,
     where accesses to a cacheline brings the next one too.

   - Skip 'perf test bpf' when the required kernel-debuginfo package
     isn't installed.

   - Avoid d3-flame-graph package dependency in 'perf script flamegraph',
     making this feature more generally available.

   - Add JSON metric events to present CPI stall cycles in Power10.

   - Assorted improvements/refactorings on the JSON metrics parsing
     code.

  perf lock contention:

   - Add -o/--lock-owner option:

        $ sudo ./perf lock contention -abo -- ./perf bench sched pipe
        # Running 'sched/pipe' benchmark:
        # Executed 1000000 pipe operations between two processes

             Total time: 4.766 [sec]

               4.766540 usecs/op
                 209795 ops/sec
         contended   total wait     max wait     avg wait          pid   owner

               403    565.32 us     26.81 us      1.40 us           -1   Unknown
                 4     27.99 us      8.57 us      7.00 us      1583145   sched-pipe

         The owner is unknown in most cases. Filtering only for the
         mutex locks, it will more likely get the owners.

   - -S/--callstack-filter is to limit display entries having the given
     string in the callstack:

        $ sudo ./perf lock contention -abv -S net sleep 1
        ...

                                0xffffffffa5c6467d  tcp_keepalive_timer+0x2fd

     Please note that to have the -b option (BPF) working above one has
     to build with BUILD_BPF_SKEL=1.

   - Add more 'perf test' entries to test these new features.

  perf script:

   - Add 'cgroup' field for 'perf script' output:

        $ perf record --all-cgroups -- true
        $ perf script -F comm,pid,cgroup

                  true 337112  /user.slice/user-657345.slice/user@657345.service/...

   - Add support for showing branch speculation information in 'perf
     script' and in the 'perf report' raw dump (-D).

  perf record:

   - Fix 'perf record' segfault with --overwrite and --max-size.

  perf test/bench:

   - Switch basic BPF filtering test to use syscall tracepoint to avoid
     the variable number of probes inserted when using the previous
     probe point (do_epoll_wait) that happens on different CPU
     architectures.

   - Fix DWARF unwind test by adding non-inline to expected function in
     a backtrace.

   - Use 'grep -c' where the longer form 'grep | wc -l' was being used.

   - Add getpid and execve benchmarks to 'perf bench syscall'.

  Intel PT:

   - Add support for synthesizing "cycle" events from Intel PT traces as
     we support "instruction" events when Intel PT CYC packets are
     available. This enables much more accurate profiles than when using
     the regular 'perf record -e cycles' (the default) when the workload
     lasts for very short periods (&lt;10ms).

   - .plt symbol handling improvements, better handling IBT (in the past
     MPX) done in the context of decoding Intel PT processor traces,
     IFUNC symbols on x86_64, static executables, understanding .plt.got
     symbols on x86_64.

   - Add a 'perf test' to test symbol resolution, part of the .plt
     improvements series, this tests things like symbol size in contexts
     where only the symbol start is available (kallsyms), etc.

   - Better handle auxtrace/Intel PT data when using pipe mode (perf
     record sleep 1|perf report).

   - Fix symbol lookup with kcore with multiple segments match stext,
     getting the symbol resolution to just show DSOs as unknown.

  ARM:

   - Timestamp improvements for ARM64 systems with ETMv4 (Embedded Trace
     Macrocell v4).

   - Ensure ARM64 CoreSight timestamps don't go backwards.

   - Document that ARM64 SPE (Statistical Profiling Extension) is used
     with 'perf c2c/mem'.

   - Add raw decoding for ARM64 SPEv1.2 previous branch address.

   - Update neoverse-n2-v2 ARM vendor events (JSON tables): topdown L1,
     TLB, cache, branch, PE utilization and instruction mix metrics.

   - Update decoder code for OpenCSD version 1.4, on ARM64 systems.

   - Fix command line auto-complete of CPU events on aarch64.

  Build:

   - Fix 'perf probe' and 'perf test' when libtraceevent isn't linked,
     as several tests use tracepoints, those should be skipped.

   - More fallout fixes for the removal of tools/lib/traceevent/.

   - Fix build error when linking with libpfm"

Pull perf tools updates from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:
 "Miscellaneous:

   - Add Ian Rogers to MAINTAINERS as a perf tools reviewer.

   - Add support for retire latency feature (pipeline stall of a
     instruction compared to the previous one, in cycles) present on
     some Intel processors.

   - Add 'perf c2c' report option to show false sharing with adjacent
     cachelines, to be used in machines with cacheline prefetching,
     where accesses to a cacheline brings the next one too.

   - Skip 'perf test bpf' when the required kernel-debuginfo package
     isn't installed.

   - Avoid d3-flame-graph package dependency in 'perf script flamegraph',
     making this feature more generally available.

   - Add JSON metric events to present CPI stall cycles in Power10.

   - Assorted improvements/refactorings on the JSON metrics parsing
     code.

  perf lock contention:

   - Add -o/--lock-owner option:

        $ sudo ./perf lock contention -abo -- ./perf bench sched pipe
        # Running 'sched/pipe' benchmark:
        # Executed 1000000 pipe operations between two processes

             Total time: 4.766 [sec]

               4.766540 usecs/op
                 209795 ops/sec

         The owner is unknown in most cases. Filtering only for the
         mutex locks, it will more likely get the owners.

   - -S/--callstack-filter is to limit display entries having the given
     string in the callstack:

        $ sudo ./perf lock contention -abv -S net sleep 1

                                0xffffffffa5c6467d  tcp_keepalive_timer+0x2fd

     Please note that to have the -b option (BPF) working above one has
     to build with BUILD_BPF_SKEL=1.

   - Add more 'perf test' entries to test these new features.

  perf script:

   - Add 'cgroup' field for 'perf script' output:

        $ perf record --all-cgroups -- true
        $ perf script -F comm,pid,cgroup
                  true 337112  /user.slice/user-657345.slice/user@657345.service/...

                  true 337112  /user.slice/user-657345.slice/user@657345.service/...
