Merge tag 'perf-core-2024-01-08' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull performance events updates from Ingo Molnar:
- Add branch stack counters ABI extension to better capture the growing
amount of information the PMU exposes via branch stack sampling.
There's matching tooling support.
- Fix race when creating the nr_addr_filters sysfs file
- Add Intel Sierra Forest and Grand Ridge intel/cstate PMU support
- Add Intel Granite Rapids, Sierra Forest and Grand Ridge uncore PMU
support
- Misc cleanups & fixes
