Merge patch series "Assorted fixes in RISC-V PMU driver"
Atish Patra <atishp@rivosinc.com> says:

This series contains 3 fixes out of which the first one is a new fix
for invalid event data reported in lkml[2]. The last two are v3 of Samuel's
patch[1]. I added the RB/TB/Fixes tag and moved 1 unrelated change
to its own patch. I also changed an error message in kvm vcpu_pmu from
pr_err to pr_debug to avoid redundant failure error messages generated
due to the boot time quering of events implemented in the patch[1]

Here is the original cover letter for the patch[1]

Before this patch:
$ perf list hw

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
