Merge tag 'perf-core-2020-08-03' of git://git./linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

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..."
