Merge tag 'perf-core-2021-10-31' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

Pull perf updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "Core:

   - Allow ftrace to instrument parts of the perf core code

   - Add a new mem_hops field to perf_mem_data_src which allows to
     represent intra-node/package or inter-node/off-package details to
     prepare for next generation systems which have more hieararchy
     within the node/pacakge level.

  Tools:

   - Update for the new mem_hops field in perf_mem_data_src

  Arch:

   - A set of constraints fixes for the Intel uncore PMU

   - The usual set of small fixes and improvements for x86 and PPC"
