To pick the changes from:

  d45476d983240937 ("x86/speculation: Rename RETPOLINE_AMD to RETPOLINE_LFENCE")

Its just a comment fixup.

This only causes these perf files to be rebuilt:

  CC       /tmp/build/perf/bench/mem-memcpy-x86-64-asm.o
  CC       /tmp/build/perf/bench/mem-memset-x86-64-asm.o

And addresses this perf build warning:

  Warning: Kernel ABI header at 'tools/arch/x86/include/asm/cpufeatures.h' differs from latest version at 'arch/x86/include/asm/cpufeatures.h'
  diff -u tools/arch/x86/include/asm/cpufeatures.h arch/x86/include/asm/cpufeatures.h

That don't causes any changes in tooling (when built on x86), only
addresses this perf build warning:

Pull x86 spectre fixes from Borislav Petkov:

 - Mitigate Spectre v2-type Branch History Buffer attacks on machines
   which support eIBRS, i.e., the hardware-assisted speculation
   restriction after it has been shown that such machines are vulnerable
   even with the hardware mitigation.

 - Do not use the default LFENCE-based Spectre v2 mitigation on AMD as
   it is insufficient to mitigate such attacks. Instead, switch to
   retpolines on all AMD by default.

 - Update the docs and add some warnings for the obviously vulnerable
   cmdline configurations.

To pick up the changes in:

  3915035282573c5e ("KVM: x86: SVM: move avic definitions from AMD's spec to svm.h")

Addressing these tools/perf build warnings:

    diff -u tools/arch/x86/include/asm/msr-index.h arch/x86/include/asm/msr-index.h
    Warning: Kernel ABI header at 'tools/arch/x86/include/asm/msr-index.h' differs from latest version at 'arch/x86/include/asm/msr-index.h'

That makes the beautification scripts to pick some new entries:

  $ tools/perf/trace/beauty/tracepoints/x86_msr.sh &gt; before
  $ cp arch/x86/include/asm/msr-index.h tools/arch/x86/include/asm/msr-index.h

Now one can trace systemwide asking to see backtraces to where those
MSRs are being read/written with:

  ^C#

If we use -v (verbose mode) we can see what it does behind the scenes:

  # perf trace -v -e msr:*_msr/max-stack=32/ --filter="msr&gt;=AMD64_SVM_AVIC_DOORBELL &amp;&amp; msr&lt;=AMD64_SEV_ES_GHCB"

<title>x86/speculation: Rename RETPOLINE_AMD to RETPOLINE_LFENCE</title>

<content type='text'>
The RETPOLINE_AMD name is unfortunate since it isn't necessarily
AMD only, in fact Hygon also uses it. Furthermore it will likely be
sufficient for some Intel processors. Therefore rename the thing to
RETPOLINE_LFENCE to better describe what it is.

Add the spectre_v2=retpoline,lfence option as an alias to
spectre_v2=retpoline,amd to preserve existing setups. However, the output
of /sys/devices/system/cpu/vulnerabilities/spectre_v2 will be changed.

Pull kvm fixes from Paolo Bonzini:
 "Two larger x86 series:

   - Redo incorrect fix for SEV/SMAP erratum

   - Windows 11 Hyper-V workaround

  Other x86 changes:

   - Various x86 cleanups

   - Re-enable access_tracking_perf_test

   - Fix for #GP handling on SVM

   - Fix for CPUID leaf 0Dh in KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID

   - Fix for ICEBP in interrupt shadow

   - Avoid false-positive RCU splat

   - Enable Enlightened MSR-Bitmap support for real

  ARM:

   - Correctly update the shadow register on exception injection when
     running in nVHE mode

   - Correctly use the mm_ops indirection when performing cache
     invalidation from the page-table walker

   - Restrict the vgic-v3 workaround for SEIS to the two known broken
     implementations

  Generic code changes:

   - Dead code cleanup"

With this 'perf trace' can translate those numbers into strings and use
the strings in filter expressions:

Pull perf tool updates from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:
 "New features:

   - Add 'trace' subcommand for 'perf ftrace', setting the stage for
     more 'perf ftrace' subcommands. Not using a subcommand yields the
     previous behaviour of 'perf ftrace'.

   - Add 'latency' subcommand to 'perf ftrace', that can use the
     function graph tracer or a BPF optimized one, via the -b/--use-bpf
     option.

     E.g.:

	$ sudo perf ftrace latency -a -T mutex_lock sleep 1

     The original implementation of this command was in the bcc tool.

   - Support --cputype option for hybrid events in 'perf stat'.

  Improvements:

   - Call chain improvements for ARM64.

   - No need to do any affinity setup when profiling pids.

   - Reduce multiplexing with duration_time in 'perf stat' metrics.

   - Improve error message for uncore events, stating that some event
     groups are can only be used in system wide (-a) mode.

   - perf stat metric group leader fixes/improvements, including arch
     specific changes to better support Intel topdown events.

   - Probe non-deprecated sysfs path first, i.e. try the path
     /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuN/topology/thread_siblings first, then
     the old /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuN/topology/core_cpus.

   - Disable debuginfod by default in 'perf record', to avoid stalls on
     distros such as Fedora 35.

   - Use unbuffered output in 'perf bench' when pipe/tee'ing to a file.

   - Enable ignore_missing_thread in 'perf trace'

  Fixes:

   - Avoid TUI crash when navigating in the annotation of recursive
     functions.

   - Fix hex dump character output in 'perf script'.

   - Fix JSON indentation to 4 spaces standard in the ARM vendor event
     files.

   - Fix use after free in metric__new().

   - Fix IS_ERR_OR_NULL() usage in the perf BPF loader.

   - Fix up cross-arch register support, i.e. when printing register
     names take into account the architecture where the perf.data file
     was collected.

   - Fix SMT fallback with large core counts.

   - Don't lower case MetricExpr when parsing JSON files so as not to
     lose info such as the ":G" event modifier in metrics.

  perf test:

   - Add basic stress test for sigtrap handling to 'perf test'.

   - Fix 'perf test' failures on s/390

   - Enable system wide for metricgroups test in 'perf test´.

   - Use 3 digits for test numbering now we can have more tests.

  Arch specific:

   - Add events for Arm Neoverse N2 in the ARM JSON vendor event files

   - Support PERF_MEM_LVLNUM encodings in powerpc, that came from a
     single patch series, where I incorrectly merged the kernel bits,
     that were then reverted after coordination with Michael Ellerman
     and Stephen Rothwell.

   - Add ARM SPE total latency as PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT.

   - Update AMD documentation, with info on raw event encoding.

   - Add support for global and local variants of the "p_stage_cyc" sort
     key, applicable to perf.data files collected on powerpc.

   - Remove duplicate and incorrect aux size checks in the ARM CoreSight
     ETM code.

  Refactorings:

   - Add a perf_cpu abstraction to disambiguate CPUs and CPU map
     indexes, fixing problems along the way.

   - Document CPU map methods.

  UAPI sync:

   - Update arch/x86/lib/mem{cpy,set}_64.S copies used in 'perf bench
     mem memcpy'

   - Sync UAPI files with the kernel sources: drm, msr-index,
     cpufeatures.

  Build system

   - Enable warnings through HOSTCFLAGS.

   - Drop requirement for libstdc++.so for libopencsd check

  libperf:

   - Make libperf adopt perf_counts_values__scale() from tools/perf/util/.

   - Add a stat multiplexing test to libperf"
