Linus Torvalds 9f0c253ddd Performance events changes for v6.12:
- Implement per-PMU context rescheduling to significantly improve single-PMU
    performance, and related cleanups/fixes. (by Peter Zijlstra and Namhyung Kim)
 
  - Fix ancient bug resulting in a lot of events being dropped erroneously
    at higher sampling frequencies. (by Luo Gengkun)
 
  - uprobes enhancements:
 
      - Implement RCU-protected hot path optimizations for better performance:
 
          "For baseline vs SRCU, peak througput increased from 3.7 M/s (million uprobe
           triggerings per second) up to about 8 M/s. For uretprobes it's a bit more
           modest with bump from 2.4 M/s to 5 M/s.
 
           For SRCU vs RCU Tasks Trace, peak throughput for uprobes increases further from
           8 M/s to 10.3 M/s (+28%!), and for uretprobes from 5.3 M/s to 5.8 M/s (+11%),
           as we have more work to do on uretprobes side.
 
           Even single-thread (no contention) performance is slightly better: 3.276 M/s to
           3.396 M/s (+3.5%) for uprobes, and 2.055 M/s to 2.174 M/s (+5.8%)
           for uretprobes."
 
           (by Andrii Nakryiko et al)
 
      - Document mmap_lock, don't abuse get_user_pages_remote(). (by Oleg Nesterov)
 
      - Cleanups & fixes to prepare for future work:
 
         - Remove uprobe_register_refctr()
 	- Simplify error handling for alloc_uprobe()
         - Make uprobe_register() return struct uprobe *
         - Fold __uprobe_unregister() into uprobe_unregister()
         - Shift put_uprobe() from delete_uprobe() to uprobe_unregister()
         - BPF: Fix use-after-free in bpf_uprobe_multi_link_attach()
 
           (by Oleg Nesterov)
 
  - New feature & ABI extension: allow events to use PERF_SAMPLE READ with
    inheritance, enabling sample based profiling of a group of counters over
    a hierarchy of processes or threads.  (by Ben Gainey)
 
  - Intel uncore & power events updates:
 
       - Add Arrow Lake and Lunar Lake support
       - Add PERF_EV_CAP_READ_SCOPE
       - Clean up and enhance cpumask and hotplug support
 
         (by Kan Liang)
 
       - Add LNL uncore iMC freerunning support
       - Use D0:F0 as a default device
 
         (by Zhenyu Wang)
 
  - Intel PT: fix AUX snapshot handling race. (by Adrian Hunter)
 
  - Misc fixes and cleanups. (by James Clark, Jiri Olsa, Oleg Nesterov and Peter Zijlstra)
