Pull performance event updates from Ingo Molnar:
"x86 PMU driver updates:

- Add support for the core PMU for Intel Diamond Rapids (DMR) CPUs
(Dapeng Mi)

Compared to previous iterations of the Intel PMU code, there's been
a lot of changes, which center around three main areas:

- Introduce the OFF-MODULE RESPONSE (OMR) facility to replace the
Off-Core Response (OCR) facility

- New PEBS data source encoding layout

- Support the new "RDPMC user disable" feature

- Likewise, a large series adds uncore PMU support for Intel Diamond
Rapids (DMR) CPUs (Zide Chen)

This centers around these four main areas:

- DMR may have two Integrated I/O and Memory Hub (IMH) dies,
separate from the compute tile (CBB) dies. Each CBB and each IMH
die has its own discovery domain.

- Unlike prior CPUs that retrieve the global discovery table
portal exclusively via PCI or MSR, DMR uses PCI for IMH PMON
discovery and MSR for CBB PMON discovery.

- DMR introduces several new PMON types: SCA, HAMVF, D2D_ULA, UBR,
PCIE4, CRS, CPC, ITC, OTC, CMS, and PCIE6.

- IIO free-running counters in DMR are MMIO-based, unlike SPR.

- Also add support for Add missing PMON units for Intel Panther Lake,
and support Nova Lake (NVL), which largely maps to Panther Lake.
(Zide Chen)

- KVM integration: Add support for mediated vPMUs (by Kan Liang and
Sean Christopherson, with fixes and cleanups by Peter Zijlstra,
Sandipan Das and Mingwei Zhang)

- Add Intel cstate driver to support for Wildcat Lake (WCL) CPUs,
which are a low-power variant of Panther Lake (Zide Chen)

- Add core, cstate and MSR PMU support for the Airmont NP Intel CPU
(aka MaxLinear Lightning Mountain), which maps to the existing
Airmont code (Martin Schiller)

Performance enhancements:

- Speed up kexec shutdown by avoiding unnecessary cross CPU calls
(Jan H. Schönherr)

- Fix slow perf_event_task_exit() with LBR callstacks (Namhyung Kim)

User-space stack unwinding support:

- Various cleanups and refactorings in preparation to generalize the
unwinding code for other architectures (Jens Remus)

Uprobes updates:

- Transition from kmap_atomic to kmap_local_page (Keke Ming)

- Fix incorrect lockdep condition in filter_chain() (Breno Leitao)

- Fix XOL allocation failure for 32-bit tasks (Oleg Nesterov)

Misc fixes and cleanups:

- s390: Remove kvm_types.h from Kbuild (Randy Dunlap)

- x86/intel/uncore: Convert comma to semicolon (Chen Ni)

- x86/uncore: Clean up const mismatch (Greg Kroah-Hartman)

- x86/ibs: Fix typo in dc_l2tlb_miss comment (Xiang-Bin Shi)"

perf/x86/intel: Add support for rdpmc user disable feature

Starting with Panther Cove, the rdpmc user disable feature is supported.
This feature allows the perf system to disable user space rdpmc reads at
the counter level.

Currently, when a global counter is active, any user with rdpmc rights
can read it, even if perf access permissions forbid it (e.g., disallow
reading ring 0 counters). The rdpmc user disable feature mitigates this
security concern.

Details:

- A new RDPMC_USR_DISABLE bit (bit 37) in each EVNTSELx MSR indicates
that the GP counter cannot be read by RDPMC in ring 3.
- New RDPMC_USR_DISABLE bits in IA32_FIXED_CTR_CTRL MSR (bits 33, 37,
41, 45, etc.) for fixed counters 0, 1, 2, 3, etc.
- When calling rdpmc instruction for counter x, the following pseudo
code demonstrates how the counter value is obtained:
If (!CPL0 && RDPMC_USR_DISABLE[x] == 1) ? 0 : counter_value;
- RDPMC_USR_DISABLE is enumerated by CPUID.0x23.0.EBX[2].

This patch extends the current global user space rdpmc control logic via
the sysfs interface (/sys/devices/cpu/rdpmc) as follows:

- rdpmc = 0:
Global user space rdpmc and counter-level user space rdpmc for all
counters are both disabled.
- rdpmc = 1:
Global user space rdpmc is enabled during the mmap-enabled time window,
and counter-level user space rdpmc is enabled only for non-system-wide
events. This prevents counter data leaks as count data is cleared
during context switches.
- rdpmc = 2:
Global user space rdpmc and counter-level user space rdpmc for all
counters are enabled unconditionally.

The new rdpmc settings only affect newly activated perf events; currently
active perf events remain unaffected. This simplifies and cleans up the
code. The default value of rdpmc remains unchanged at 1.

For more details about rdpmc user disable, please refer to chapter 15
"RDPMC USER DISABLE" in ISE documentation.
