switches.

   Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

Committer notes:

The kernel patches landed in v5.13, but this entry wasn't filled in
perf's parse-events tables, which was leading to a segfault when running
'perf list' on a kernel with that feature, as reported by Thomas
Richter.

Also removed the part touching tools/include/uapi/linux/perf_event.h as
it was updated in the usual sync with the kernel UAPI headers, in a
previous, already upstream, patch.

      perf intel-pt: Fix sample instruction bytes · c954eb72
      Adrian Hunter authored 
      The decoder reports the current instruction if it was decoded. In some
cases the current instruction is not decoded, in which case the instruction
bytes length must be set to zero. Ensure that is always done.

Note perf script can anyway get the instruction bytes for any samples where
they are not present.

Also note, that there is a redundant "ptq->insn_len = 0" statement which is
not removed until a subsequent patch in order to make this patch apply
cleanly to stable branches.

Example:

A machne that supports TSX is required. It will have flag "rtm". Kernel
parameter tsx=on may be required.

 # for w in `cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep -m1 flags `;do echo $w | grep rtm ; done
 rtm

Test program:

 #include <stdio.h>
 #include <immintrin.h>

 int main()
 {
        int x = 0;

        if (_xbegin() == _XBEGIN_STARTED) {
                x = 1;
                _xabort(1);
        } else {
                printf("x = %d\n", x);
        }
        return 0;
 }

Compile with -mrtm i.e.

 gcc -Wall -Wextra -mrtm xabort.c -o xabort

Record:

 perf record -e intel_pt/cyc/u --filter 'filter main @ ./xabort' ./xabort

Before:

      perf intel-pt: Fix transaction abort handling · cb798783
      Adrian Hunter authored 
      When adding support for power events, some handling of FUP packets was
unified. That resulted in breaking reporting of TSX aborts, by not
considering the associated TIP packet. Fix that.

Example:

A machine that supports TSX is required. It will have flag "rtm". Kernel
parameter tsx=on may be required.

 # for w in `cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep -m1 flags `;do echo $w | grep rtm ; done
 rtm

Test program:

 #include <stdio.h>
 #include <immintrin.h>

 int main()
 {
        int x = 0;

        if (_xbegin() == _XBEGIN_STARTED) {
                x = 1;
                _xabort(1);
        } else {
                printf("x = %d\n", x);
        }
        return 0;
 }

      perf test: Fix libpfm4 support (63) test error for nested event groups · 316a76a5
      Thomas Richter authored 
      Compiling perf with make LIBPFM4=1 includes libpfm support and
enables test case 63 'Test libpfm4 support'. This test reports an error
on all platforms for subtest 63.2 'test groups of --pfm-events'.
The reported error message is 'nested event groups not supported'

 # ./perf test -F 63

 Error:

 Error:

	 event not found
 Ok
 #

This patch addresses the error message 'nested event groups not supported'.
The root cause is function parse_libpfm_events_option() which parses the
event string '{},{instructions}' and can not handle a leading empty
group notation '{},...'.

The code detects the first (empty) group indicator '{' but does not
terminate group processing on the following group closing character '}'.
So when the second group indicator '{' is detected, the code assumes
a nested group and returns an error.

With the error message fixed, also change the expected event number to
one for the test case to succeed.

While at it also fix a memory leak. In good case the function does not
free the duplicated string given as first parameter.

Output after:
 # ./perf test -F 63
 63: Test libpfm4 support                                            :

      Pull timer fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
 "Two fixes for timers:

   - Use the ALARM feature check in the alarmtimer core code insted of
     the old method of checking for the set_alarm() callback.

     Drivers can have that callback set but the feature bit cleared. If
     such a RTC device is selected then alarms wont work.

   - Use a proper define to let the preprocessor check whether Hyper-V
     VDSO clocksource should be active.

     The code used a constant in an enum with #ifdef, which evaluates to
     always false and disabled the clocksource for VDSO"

      Pull x86 fixes from Borislav Petkov:
 "The three SEV commits are not really urgent material. But we figured
  since getting them in now will avoid a huge amount of conflicts
  between future SEV changes touching tip, the kvm and probably other
  trees, sending them to you now would be best.

  The idea is that the tip, kvm etc branches for 5.14 will all base
  ontop of -rc2 and thus everything will be peachy. What is more, those
  changes are purely mechanical and defines movement so they should be
  fine to go now (famous last words).

  Summary:

   - Enable -Wundef for the compressed kernel build stage

   - Reorganize SEV code to streamline and simplify future development"
