This series enables perf branch stack sampling support on arm64 platform
via a new arch feature called Branch Record Buffer Extension (BRBE). All
relevant register definitions could be accessed here.

https://developer.arm.com/documentation/ddi0601/2021-12/AArch64-Registers

This series applies on v5.19-rc2 after the BRBE related perf ABI changes series
(V6) that was posted earlier.

Following issues remain inconclusive

- Jame's concerns regarding permission inadequacy related to perfmon_capable()
- Jame's concerns regarding using perf_event_paranoid along with perfmon_capable()

afaict, the capability stuff remains unresolved with the SPE driver, so I'd
really like to see it fixed there first before we add more broken drivers.

Hello Will,

I did go through the above mentioned thread, but could not understand (clear
enough) - what needs to be done. Could you please help summerize the problem
and possible solutions which I can start looking into. Thank you.

I don't recall any details beyond what was discussed in the thread. Your
best bet is probably to talk to James (Clark) and German, as they reported
the issue initially and you all work for the same company...

Will
