Add perf core PMU support for the Intel Sapphire Rapids server, which is the successor of the Intel Ice Lake server. The enabling code is based on Ice Lake, but there are several new features introduced. The event encoding is changed and simplified, e.g., the event codes which are below 0x90 are restricted to counters 0-3. The event codes which above 0x90 are likely to have no restrictions. The event constraints, extra_regs(), and hardware cache events table are changed accordingly. A new Precise Distribution (PDist) facility is introduced, which further minimizes the skid when a precise event is programmed on the GP counter 0. Enable the Precise Distribution (PDist) facility with :ppp event. For this facility to work, the period must be initialized with a value larger than 127. Add spr_limit_period() to apply the limit for :ppp event. Two new data source fields, data block & address block, are added in the PEBS Memory Info Record for the load latency event. To enable the feature, - An auxiliary event has to be enabled together with the load latency event on Sapphire Rapids. A new flag PMU_FL_MEM_LOADS_AUX is introduced to indicate the case. A new event, mem-loads-aux, is exposed to sysfs for the user tool. Add a check in hw_config(). If the auxiliary event is not detected, return an unique error -ENODATA. - The union perf_mem_data_src is extended to support the new fields. - Ice Lake and earlier models do not support block information, but the fields may be set by HW on some machines. Add pebs_no_block to explicitly indicate the previous platforms which don't support the new block fields. Accessing the new block fields are ignored on those platforms. A new store Latency facility is introduced, which leverages the PEBS facility where it can provide additional information about sampled stores. The additional information includes the data address, memory auxiliary info (e.g. Data Source, STLB miss) and the latency of the store access. To enable the facility, the new event (0x02cd) has to be programed on the GP counter 0. A new flag PERF_X86_EVENT_PEBS_STLAT is introduced to indicate the event. The store_latency_data() is introduced to parse the memory auxiliary info. The layout of access latency field of PEBS Memory Info Record has been changed. Two latency, instruction latency (bit 15:0) and cache access latency (bit 47:32) are recorded. - The cache access latency is similar to previous memory access latency. For loads, the latency starts by the actual cache access until the data is returned by the memory subsystem. For stores, the latency starts when the demand write accesses the L1 data cache and lasts until the cacheline write is completed in the memory subsystem. The cache access latency is stored in low 32bits of the sample type PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT_STRUCT. - The instruction latency starts by the dispatch of the load operation for execution and lasts until completion of the instruction it belongs to. Add a new flag PMU_FL_INSTR_LATENCY to indicate the instruction latency support. The instruction latency is stored in the bit 47:32 of the sample type PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT_STRUCT. Extends the PERF_METRICS MSR to feature TMA method level 2 metrics. The lower half of the register is the TMA level 1 metrics (legacy). The upper half is also divided into four 8-bit fields for the new level 2 metrics. Expose all eight Topdown metrics events to user space.

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 Restructured Text 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.
