<content type='text'>
Unifying the asm-generic headers across 32-bit and 64-bit architectures
based on the compiler provided macros was a good idea and appears to work
with all user space, but it caused a regression when building old kernels
on systems that have the new headers installed in /usr/include, as this
combination trips an inconsistency in the kernel's own tools/include
headers that are a mix of userspace and kernel-internal headers.

This affects kernel builds on arm64, riscv64 and loongarch64 systems that
might end up using the "#define __BITS_PER_LONG 32" default from the old
tools headers. Backporting the commit into stable kernels would address
this, but it would still break building kernels without that backport,
and waste time for developers trying to understand the problem.

arm64 build machines are rather common, and on riscv64 this can also
happen in practice, but loongarch64 is probably new enough to not
be used much for building old kernels, so only revert the bits
for arm64 and riscv.

Pull perf tools fixes from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:

 - Revert a patch that unconditionally resolved addresses to inlines in
   callchains, something that was done before when DWARF mode was asked
   for, but could as well be done when just frame pointers (the default)
   was selected.

   This enriches the callchains with inlines but the way to resolve it
   is gross right now, relying on addr2line, and even if we come up with
   an efficient way of processing all the associated DWARF info for a
   big file as vmlinux is, this has to be something people opt-in, as it
   will still result in overheads, so revert it until we get this done
   in a saner way.

 - Update the x86 msr-index.h header with the kernel original, no change
   in tooling output, just addresses a tools/perf build warning.

  - Resolve a regression where special "tool events", such as
    "duration_time" were being presented for all CPUs, when it only
    makes sense to show it for the workload, that is, just once.

To pick up the changes from these csets:

  522b1d69219d8f08 ("x86/cpu/amd: Add a Zenbleed fix")

That cause no changes to tooling:

  $ 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
  $ tools/perf/trace/beauty/tracepoints/x86_msr.sh &gt; after
  $ diff -u before after
  $

Just silences this perf build warning:

To get the changes in:

  e910baa9c1efdf76 ("KVM: arm64: vgic: Add Apple M2 PRO/MAX cpus to the list of broken SEIS implementations")

That makes this perf source code to be rebuilt:

  CC      /tmp/build/perf-tools/util/arm-spe.o

The changes in the above patch don't affect things that are used in
arm-spe.c (things like MIDR_NEOVERSE_N1, etc). Unsure if Apple M2 has
SPE (Statistical Profiling Extension) :-)

That addresses this perf build warning:
