Pull perf event updates from Ingo Molnar:

 - Improve Intel uncore PMU support:

     - Parse uncore 'discovery tables' - a new hardware capability
       enumeration method introduced on the latest Intel platforms. This
       table is in a well-defined PCI namespace location and is read via
       MMIO. It is organized in an rbtree.

       These uncore tables will allow the discovery of standard counter
       blocks, but fancier counters still need to be enumerated
       explicitly.

     - Add Alder Lake support

     - Improve IIO stacks to PMON mapping support on Skylake servers

 - Add Intel Alder Lake PMU support - which requires the introduction of
   'hybrid' CPUs and PMUs. Alder Lake is a mix of Golden Cove ('big')
   and Gracemont ('small' - Atom derived) cores.

   The CPU-side feature set is entirely symmetrical - but on the PMU
   side there's core type dependent PMU functionality.

 - Reduce data loss with CPU level hardware tracing on Intel PT / AUX
   profiling, by fixing the AUX allocation watermark logic.

 - Improve ring buffer allocation on NUMA systems

 - Put 'struct perf_event' into their separate kmem_cache pool

 - Add support for synchronous signals for select perf events. The
   immediate motivation is to support low-overhead sampling-based race
   detection for user-space code. The feature consists of the following
   main changes:

     - Add thread-only event inheritance via
       perf_event_attr::inherit_thread, which limits inheritance of
       events to CLONE_THREAD.

     - Add the ability for events to not leak through exec(), via
       perf_event_attr::remove_on_exec.

     - Allow the generation of SIGTRAP via perf_event_attr::sigtrap,
       extend siginfo with an u64 ::si_perf, and add the breakpoint
       information to ::si_addr and ::si_perf if the event is
       PERF_TYPE_BREAKPOINT.

   The siginfo support is adequate for breakpoints right now - but the
   new field can be used to introduce support for other types of
   metadata passed over siginfo as well.

 - Misc fixes, cleanups and smaller updates.
