Pull perf tools updates from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:

 - Introduce 'perf inject --aslr' to remap ASLR-randomized addresses in
   perf.data files, enabling reproducible analysis across runs with
   different address space layouts

 - Refactor evsel out of sample processing paths: store evsel in struct
   perf_sample and remove the redundant evsel parameter from tool APIs,
   tracepoint handlers, hist entry iterators, and db-export, simplifying
   the entire tool callback chain

 - Switch architecture detection from string-based perf_env__arch()
   comparisons to the numeric ELF e_machine field across the codebase
   (capstone, print_insn, c2c, lock-contention, sort, sample-raw,
   machine, header), making cross-analysis more robust

 - Overhaul ARM CoreSight ETM tests: add deterministic and named_threads
   workloads, speed up basic and disassembly tests, add process
   attribution and concurrent threads tests, remove unused workloads and
   duplicate tests, queue context packets for the frontend decoder

 - Add ARM SPE IMPDEF event decoding for Arm Neoverse N1, store MIDR in
   arm_spe_pkt for per-CPU event mapping, handle missing CPU IDs
   gracefully

 - Refactor libunwind support: remove the libunwind-local backend, make
   register reading cross-platform, add RISC-V libunwind support, allow
   dynamic selection between libdw and libunwind unwinding at runtime

 - Extensive hardening of perf.data parsing against crafted files: add
   bounds checks and byte-swap validation for session records, feature
   sections, header attributes, BPF metadata, auxtrace errors,
   compressed events, CPU maps, build ID notes, and ELF program headers.
   Add minimum event size validation and file offset diagnostics

 - Fix libdw API contract violations across dwarf-aux, libdw,
   probe-finder, annotate-data, and debuginfo subsystems. Fix callchain
   parent update in ORDER_CALLER mode, support DWARF line 0 in inline
   lists, handle multiple address spaces in callchains

 - Fix numerous 'perf sched' bugs: thread reference leaks, memory leaks,
   heap overflows with cross-machine recordings, NULL dereferences,
   replace BUG_ON assertions with graceful error handling, bounds-check
   CPU indices, fix SIGCHLD vs pause() races in sched stats

 - Overhaul the build system: move BPF skeleton generation out of
   Makefile.perf into bpf_skel.mak, decouple pmu-events from the prepare
   target, make beauty generated C code standalone .o files, compile BPF
   skeletons with -mcpu=v3, fix continuous rebuilds, various cleanups

 - Add 'perf test' JUnit XML reporting with -j/--junit option, split
   monolithic test suites into sub-tests, add summary reporting,
   refactor parallel poll loop, fix test failures on musl-based systems

 - Fix 'perf c2c' memory leaks in hist entry and format list handling,
   use-after-free in error paths, bounds-check CPU and node IDs

 - Fix 'perf bpf' metadata leaks on duplicate insert and alloc failure,
   bounds-check array offsets, validate event sizes and func_info
   fields, add NULL checks

 - Fix hwmon PMU: off-by-one null termination on sysfs reads, strlcpy
   buffer overflow in parse_hwmon_filename(), fd 0 check, empty label
   reads, scnprintf usage

 - Fix symbols subsystem: bounds-check ELF and sysfs build ID note
   iteration, validate p_filesz, fix 32-bit ELF bswap error, fix signed
   overflow in size checks, bounds-check .gnu_debuglink section

 - Fix tools lib api: null termination in filename__read_int/ull(),
   uninitialized stack data in filename__write_int(), snprintf
   truncation in mount_overload()

 - Replace libbabeltrace with babeltrace2-ctf-writer for CTF conversion
   in 'perf data'

 - Add RISC-V SDT argument parsing for static tracepoints

 - Add 'perf trace --show-cpu' option to display CPU id

 - Add 'perf bench sched pipe --write-size' option

 - Add a perf-specific .clang-format that overrides some kernel style
   behaviors

 - Update Intel vendor events for Alder Lake, Arrow Lake, Clearwater
   Forest, Emerald Rapids, Granite Rapids, Grand Ridge, Lunar Lake,
   Meteor Lake, Panther Lake, Sapphire Rapids, Sierra Forest

 - Add IOMMU metrics for AMD and Intel

 - Fix AMD event: switch l2_itlb_misses to
   bp_l1_tlb_miss_l2_tlb_miss.all

 - Add AMD IBS improvements: decode Streaming-store and Remote-Socket
   flags, suppress bogus fields on Zen4+, skip privilege test on Zen6+

 - Fix 'perf lock contention' SIGCHLD vs pause() race, allow 'mmap_lock'
   in -L filter, enable end-timestamp for cgroup aggregation, fix
   non-atomic data updates

 - Fix 'perf stat' false NMI watchdog warning in aggregation modes,
   bounds-check CPU index in topology callbacks, add aggr_nr metric
   parser support for uncore scaling

 - Fix 'perf timechart' memory leaks, CPU bounds checking,
   use-after-free on corrupted callchains

 - Fix 'perf inject' itrace branch stack synthesis, fix synthesized
   sample size with branch stacks

 - Fix DSO heap overflow on decompressed paths, uninitialized pathname
   on fallback, set proper error codes

 - Fix various snprintf/scnprintf usages to prevent buffer overflows and
   truncation across the codebase

 - Fix off-by-one stack buffer overflow in kallsyms__parse()

 - Fix 'perf kwork' memory management, address sanitizer issues, bounds
   check work-&gt;cpu

 - Fix 'perf tpebs' concurrent stop races and PID reuse hazards

 - Add O_CLOEXEC to open() calls and use mkostemp() for temporary files
   to prevent file descriptor leaks to child processes

 - Fix s390 Python extension TEXTREL by compiling as PIC

 - Fix build with ASAN for jitdump

 - Fix build failure due to btf_vlen() return type change

Pull openat2 updates from Christian Brauner:
 "Features:

   - Add O_EMPTYPATH to openat(2)/openat2(2). To get an operable file
     descriptor from an O_PATH file descriptor it is possible to use
     openat(fd, ".", O_DIRECTORY) for directories, but other file types
     require going through open("/proc/&lt;pid&gt;/fd/&lt;nr&gt;") and thus depend
     on a functioning procfs.

     With O_EMPTYPATH an empty path string is accepted and LOOKUP_EMPTY
     is set at path resolution time, allowing to reopen the file behind
     the file descriptor directly. Selftests are included.

   - Add an OPENAT2_REGULAR flag for openat2(2) which refuses to open
     anything but regular files with the new EFTYPE error code.

     This implements the "ability to only open regular files" feature
     requested by userspace via uapi-group.org and protects services
     from being redirected to fifos, device nodes, and friends.

     All atomic_open implementations were audited for OPENAT2_REGULAR
     handling. Explicit checks were added to ceph, gfs2, nfs (v4), and
     cifs/smb - these are the filesystems whose atomic_open can
     encounter an existing non-regular file and would otherwise call
     finish_open() on it or return a misleading error code.

     The remaining implementations (9p, fuse, vboxsf, nfs v2/v3) only
     call finish_open() on freshly created files and use
     finish_no_open() for lookup hits, letting the VFS catch non-regular
     files via the do_open() safety net.

  Cleanups:

   - Migrate the openat2 selftests to the kselftest harness and move
     them under selftests/filesystems/. The tests were written in the
     early days of selftests' TAP support and the modern kselftest
     harness is much easier to follow and maintain. The contents of the
     tests are unchanged and the new emptypath tests are ported on top.

   - Make the LAST_XXX last-type constants private to fs/namei.c. The
     only user outside of fs/namei.c was ksmbd which only needs to know
     whether the last component is a regular one, so
     vfs_path_parent_lookup() now performs the LAST_NORM check
     internally. The ints are replaced with a dedicated enum last_type"

* tag 'vfs-7.2-rc1.openat2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs:

Update kcpuid's CSV file to version 3.1, as generated by x86-cpuid-db.

Summary of the v3.1 changes:

* Fix a few typos that were found during the kernel CPUID data model
  review. Also include fixes found using an LLM agent review.

* Rename thrd_director_nclasses to hw_feedback_nclasses as it's the
  name used in Intel SDM.

Introduce a new error code EFTYPE for wrong file type operations.
EFTYPE is already used in BSD systems like FreeBSD and macOS.

This will be used by the upcoming OPENAT2_REGULAR flag support to
return a specific error when a path doesn't refer to a regular file.
