Now it is possible to use these strings when setting up filters for the msr:*
tracepoints, like:

  # perf trace -e msr:* --filter=msr==IA32_TSX_CTRL
  ^C[root@quaco ~]#

If we use an invalid operator we can check what is the filter that is put in
place:

  # perf trace -e msr:* --filter=msr=IA32_TSX_CTRL
  Failed to set filter "(msr=0x122) &amp;&amp; (common_pid != 25976 &amp;&amp; common_pid != 25860)" on event msr:read_msr with 22 (Invalid argument)

One can as well use -v to see the tracepoints and its filters:

  # perf trace -v -e msr:* --filter=msr==IA32_TSX_CTRL
  Using CPUID GenuineIntel-6-8E-A
  New filter for msr:read_msr: (msr==0x122) &amp;&amp; (common_pid != 26110 &amp;&amp; common_pid != 25860)
  New filter for msr:write_msr: (msr==0x122) &amp;&amp; (common_pid != 26110 &amp;&amp; common_pid != 25860)

  ^C#

Better than keep looking up those numbers, works with callchains as
well, e.g. for something more common:

Pull perf updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "The main kernel side changes in this cycle were:

   - Various Intel-PT updates and optimizations (Alexander Shishkin)

   - Prohibit kprobes on Xen/KVM emulate prefixes (Masami Hiramatsu)

   - Add support for LSM and SELinux checks to control access to the
     perf syscall (Joel Fernandes)

   - Misc other changes, optimizations, fixes and cleanups - see the
     shortlog for details.

  There were numerous tooling changes as well - 254 non-merge commits.
  Here are the main changes - too many to list in detail:

   - Enhancements to core tooling infrastructure, perf.data, libperf,
     libtraceevent, event parsing, vendor events, Intel PT, callchains,
     BPF support and instruction decoding.

AMD 2nd generation EPYC processors support the UMIP (User-Mode
Instruction Prevention) feature. So, rename X86_INTEL_UMIP to
generic X86_UMIP and modify the text to cover both Intel and AMD.

<title>x86: xen: insn: Decode Xen and KVM emulate-prefix signature</title>

<content type='text'>
Decode Xen and KVM's emulate-prefix signature by x86 insn decoder.
It is called "prefix" but actually not x86 instruction prefix, so
this adds insn.emulate_prefix_size field instead of reusing
insn.prefixes.

If x86 decoder finds a special sequence of instructions of
XEN_EMULATE_PREFIX and 'ud2a; .ascii "kvm"', it just counts the
length, set insn.emulate_prefix_size and fold it with the next
instruction. In other words, the signature and the next instruction
is treated as a single instruction.

These don't cause any changes in tooling, just silences this perf build

To clarify, updating those files cause these bits of tools/perf to rebuild:

<content type='text'>
Pull x86 cpu-feature updates from Ingo Molnar:

 - Rework the Intel model names symbols/macros, which were decades of
   ad-hoc extensions and added random noise. It's now a coherent, easy
   to follow nomenclature.

 - Add new Intel CPU model IDs:
    - "Tiger Lake" desktop and mobile models
    - "Elkhart Lake" model ID
    - and the "Lightning Mountain" variant of Airmont, plus support code

 - Add the new AVX512_VP2INTERSECT instruction to cpufeatures

 - Remove Intel MPX user-visible APIs and the self-tests, because the
   toolchain (gcc) is not supporting it going forward. This is the
   first, lowest-risk phase of MPX removal.

Pull x86 cpu-feature updates from Ingo Molnar:

 - Rework the Intel model names symbols/macros, which were decades of
   ad-hoc extensions and added random noise. It's now a coherent, easy
   to follow nomenclature.

 - Add new Intel CPU model IDs:
    - "Tiger Lake" desktop and mobile models
    - "Elkhart Lake" model ID
    - and the "Lightning Mountain" variant of Airmont, plus support code

 - Add the new AVX512_VP2INTERSECT instruction to cpufeatures

 - Remove Intel MPX user-visible APIs and the self-tests, because the
   toolchain (gcc) is not supporting it going forward. This is the
   first, lowest-risk phase of MPX removal.
