- x86/insn,uprobes,alternative: Unify insn_is_nop() (Peter Zijlstra)
Intel PMU driver:
- Large series to prepare for and implement architectural PEBS
support for Intel platforms such as Clearwater Forest (CWF) and
Panther Lake (PTL). (Dapeng Mi, Kan Liang)
- Check dynamic constraints (Kan Liang)
- Optimize PEBS extended config (Peter Zijlstra)
- cstates:
- Remove PC3 support from LunarLake (Zhang Rui)
- Add Pantherlake support (Zhang Rui)
- Clearwater Forest support (Zide Chen)
AMD PMU driver:
- x86/amd: Check event before enable to avoid GPF (George Kennedy)
Fixes and cleanups:
- task_work: Fix NMI race condition (Peter Zijlstra)
- perf/x86: Fix NULL event access and potential PEBS record loss
(Dapeng Mi)
- Misc other fixes and cleanups (Dapeng Mi, Ingo Molnar, Peter
Zijlstra)"
