Pull performance event updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "x86 PMU driver updates:

   - Add support for the core PMU for Intel Diamond Rapids (DMR) CPUs
     (Dapeng Mi)

     Compared to previous iterations of the Intel PMU code, there's been
     a lot of changes, which center around three main areas:

      - Introduce the OFF-MODULE RESPONSE (OMR) facility to replace the
        Off-Core Response (OCR) facility

      - New PEBS data source encoding layout

      - Support the new "RDPMC user disable" feature

   - Likewise, a large series adds uncore PMU support for Intel Diamond
     Rapids (DMR) CPUs (Zide Chen)

     This centers around these four main areas:

      - DMR may have two Integrated I/O and Memory Hub (IMH) dies,
        separate from the compute tile (CBB) dies. Each CBB and each IMH
        die has its own discovery domain.

      - Unlike prior CPUs that retrieve the global discovery table
        portal exclusively via PCI or MSR, DMR uses PCI for IMH PMON
        discovery and MSR for CBB PMON discovery.

      - DMR introduces several new PMON types: SCA, HAMVF, D2D_ULA, UBR,
        PCIE4, CRS, CPC, ITC, OTC, CMS, and PCIE6.

      - IIO free-running counters in DMR are MMIO-based, unlike SPR.

   - Also add support for Add missing PMON units for Intel Panther Lake,
     and support Nova Lake (NVL), which largely maps to Panther Lake.
     (Zide Chen)

   - KVM integration: Add support for mediated vPMUs (by Kan Liang and
     Sean Christopherson, with fixes and cleanups by Peter Zijlstra,
     Sandipan Das and Mingwei Zhang)

   - Add Intel cstate driver to support for Wildcat Lake (WCL) CPUs,
     which are a low-power variant of Panther Lake (Zide Chen)

   - Add core, cstate and MSR PMU support for the Airmont NP Intel CPU
     (aka MaxLinear Lightning Mountain), which maps to the existing
     Airmont code (Martin Schiller)

  Performance enhancements:

   - Speed up kexec shutdown by avoiding unnecessary cross CPU calls
     (Jan H. Schönherr)

   - Fix slow perf_event_task_exit() with LBR callstacks (Namhyung Kim)

  User-space stack unwinding support:

   - Various cleanups and refactorings in preparation to generalize the
     unwinding code for other architectures (Jens Remus)

  Uprobes updates:

   - Transition from kmap_atomic to kmap_local_page (Keke Ming)

   - Fix incorrect lockdep condition in filter_chain() (Breno Leitao)

   - Fix XOL allocation failure for 32-bit tasks (Oleg Nesterov)

  Misc fixes and cleanups:

   - s390: Remove kvm_types.h from Kbuild (Randy Dunlap)

   - x86/intel/uncore: Convert comma to semicolon (Chen Ni)

   - x86/uncore: Clean up const mismatch (Greg Kroah-Hartman)

   - x86/ibs: Fix typo in dc_l2tlb_miss comment (Xiang-Bin Shi)"
