Pull performance events updates from Ingo Molnar:
"Callchain support:

- Add support for deferred user-space stack unwinding for perf,
enabled on x86. (Peter Zijlstra, Steven Rostedt)

- unwind_user/x86: Enable frame pointer unwinding on x86 (Josh
Poimboeuf)

x86 PMU support and infrastructure:

- x86/insn: Simplify for_each_insn_prefix() (Peter Zijlstra)

- x86/insn,uprobes,alternative: Unify insn_is_nop() (Peter Zijlstra)

Intel PMU driver:

- Large series to prepare for and implement architectural PEBS
support for Intel platforms such as Clearwater Forest (CWF) and
Panther Lake (PTL). (Dapeng Mi, Kan Liang)

- Check dynamic constraints (Kan Liang)

- Optimize PEBS extended config (Peter Zijlstra)

- cstates:
- Remove PC3 support from LunarLake (Zhang Rui)
- Add Pantherlake support (Zhang Rui)
- Clearwater Forest support (Zide Chen)

AMD PMU driver:

- x86/amd: Check event before enable to avoid GPF (George Kennedy)

Fixes and cleanups:

- task_work: Fix NMI race condition (Peter Zijlstra)

- perf/x86: Fix NULL event access and potential PEBS record loss
(Dapeng Mi)

- Misc other fixes and cleanups (Dapeng Mi, Ingo Molnar, Peter
Zijlstra)"

unwind_user/x86: Teach FP unwind about start of function

When userspace is interrupted at the start of a function, before we

unwind_user/x86: Teach FP unwind about start of function

When userspace is interrupted at the start of a function, before we
get a chance to complete the frame, unwind will miss one caller.

X86 has a uprobe specific fixup for this, add bits to the generic
unwinder to support this.
