Pull perf event updates from Ingo Molnar:
"HW support updates:
- Add uncore support for Intel Comet Lake
- Add RAPL support for Hygon Fam18h
- Add Intel "IIO stack to PMON mapping" support on Skylake-SP CPUs,
which enumerates per device performance counters via sysfs and
enables the perf stat --iiostat functionality
- Add support for Intel "Architectural LBRs", which generalized the
model specific LBR hardware tracing feature into a
model-independent, architected performance monitoring feature.
Usage is mostly seamless to tooling, as the pre-existing LBR
features are kept, but there's a couple of advantages under the
hood, such as faster context-switching, faster LBR reads, cleaner
exposure of LBR features to guest kernels, etc.
( Since architectural LBRs are supported via XSAVE, there's related
changes to the x86 FPU code as well. )
ftrace/perf updates:
- Add support to add a text poke event to record changes to kernel
text (i.e. self-modifying code) in order to support tracers like
Intel PT decoding through jump labels, kprobes and ftrace
trampolines.
Misc cleanups, smaller fixes..."
