To pick the changes in:

    0cb8410b90e7 ("kvm: svm: Intercept RDPRU")

That trigger a rebuild in too in tooling:

    CC       /tmp/build/perf/arch/x86/util/kvm-stat.o

But this time around no changes in tooling results, as SVM_EXIT_RDPRU
wasn't added to SVM_EXIT_REASONS, that is used in kvm-stat.c.

And addresses this perf build warnings:

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

To pick the changes in:

  bf653b78f960 ("KVM: vmx: Introduce handle_unexpected_vmexit and handle WAITPKG vmexit")

That trigger these changes in tooling:

    CC       /tmp/build/perf/arch/x86/util/kvm-stat.o
    INSTALL  GTK UI
    DESCEND  plugins
  make[3]: Nothing to be done for '/tmp/build/perf/plugins/libtraceevent-dynamic-list'.

    LD       /tmp/build/perf/perf-in.o
    LINK     /tmp/build/perf/perf

And this is not just because that header is included, kvm-stat.c
uses the VMX_EXIT_REASONS define and it got changed by the above cset.

And addresses this perf build warnings:

To pick up the changes from:

  b4dd4f6e3648 ("x86/vmware: Add a header file for hypercall definitions")
  f36cf386e3fe ("x86/speculation/swapgs: Exclude ATOMs from speculation through SWAPGS")
  be261ffce6f1 ("x86: Remove X86_FEATURE_MFENCE_RDTSC")
  018ebca8bd70 ("x86/cpufeatures: Enable a new AVX512 CPU feature")

These don't cause any changes in tooling, just silences this perf build
warning:

  diff -u tools/arch/x86/include/asm/cpufeatures.h arch/x86/include/asm/cpufeatures.h

To clarify, updating those files cause these bits of tools/perf to rebuild:

  CC       /tmp/build/perf/bench/mem-memcpy-x86-64-asm.o
  CC       /tmp/build/perf/bench/mem-memset-x86-64-asm.o
  INSTALL  GTK UI
  LD       /tmp/build/perf/bench/perf-in.o

Those use just:

  $ grep FEATURE tools/arch/x86/lib/mem*.S
  tools/arch/x86/lib/memcpy_64.S:	ALTERNATIVE_2 "jmp memcpy_orig", "", X86_FEATURE_REP_GOOD, \
  tools/arch/x86/lib/memcpy_64.S:		      "jmp memcpy_erms", X86_FEATURE_ERMS
  tools/arch/x86/lib/memset_64.S:	ALTERNATIVE_2 "jmp memset_orig", "", X86_FEATURE_REP_GOOD, \
  tools/arch/x86/lib/memset_64.S:		      "jmp memset_erms", X86_FEATURE_ERMS
  $

I.e. none of the feature defines added/removed by the patches above.

Pull x86 cpu-feature updates from Ingo Molnar:

 - Rework the Intel model names symbols/macros, which were decades of
   ad-hoc extensions and added random noise. It's now a coherent, easy
   to follow nomenclature.

 - Add new Intel CPU model IDs:
    - "Tiger Lake" desktop and mobile models
    - "Elkhart Lake" model ID
    - and the "Lightning Mountain" variant of Airmont, plus support code

 - Add the new AVX512_VP2INTERSECT instruction to cpufeatures

 - Remove Intel MPX user-visible APIs and the self-tests, because the
   toolchain (gcc) is not supporting it going forward. This is the
   first, lowest-risk phase of MPX removal.

 - Remove X86_FEATURE_MFENCE_RDTSC

 - Various smaller cleanups and fixes

initialization, which is used by perf callchain analyzing when
--call-graph=dwarf is given.

<title>perf intel-pt: Use shared x86 insn decoder</title>

<content type='text'>
Now that there's a common version of the decoder for all tools, use it
instead of the local copy.

Also use perf's check-headers.sh script to diff the decoder files to
make sure they remain in sync with the kernel version.  Objtool has a
similar check.

Committer notes:

Had to keep this all pointing explicitely to x86 headers/files, i.e.
instead of asm/isnn.h we had to use ../include/asm/insn.h when the files
were in differemt dirs, or just replace "&lt;asm/foo.h&gt;" with "foo.h".

This way we continue to be able to process perf.data files with Intel PT
traces in distros other than x86.

Also fixed up the awk script paths to use $(srcdir)/tools/arch instead
or relative directories so that we keep detached tarballs (make help |
grep perf) working.

For now the include lines in these headers are being ignored so as not
to flag false reports of kernel/tools out of sync.

<content type='text'>
The kernel tree has three identical copies of the x86 instruction
decoder.  Two of them are in the tools subdir.

The tools subdir is supposed to be completely standalone and separate
from the kernel.  So having at least one copy of the kernel decoder in
the tools subdir is unavoidable.  However, we don't need *two* of them.

Move objtool's copy of the decoder to a shared location, so that perf
will also be able to use it.
