    Pull arm[64] perf updates from Will Deacon:
     "I have another mixed bag of ARM-related perf patches here.
    
      It's about 25% CPU and 75% interconnect, but with drivers/bus/
      languishing without an obvious maintainer or tree, Olof and I agreed
      to keep all of these PMU patches together.  I suspect a whole load of
      code from drivers/bus/arm-* can be moved under drivers/perf/, so
      that's on the radar for the future.
    
      Summary:
    
       - Initial support for ARMv8.1 CPU PMUs
    
       - Support for the CPU PMU in Cavium ThunderX
    
       - CPU PMU support for systems running 32-bit Linux in secure mode
    
       - Support for the system PMU in ARM CCI-550 (Cache Coherent Interconnect)"
