Pull perf tools updates from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:

 - Use BPF + BTF to collect and pretty print syscall and tracepoint
   arguments in 'perf trace', done as an GSoC activity

 - Data-type profiling improvements:

     - Cache debuginfo to speed up data type resolution

     - Add the 'typecln' sort order, to show which cacheline in a target
       is hot or cold. The following shows members in the cfs_rq's first
       cache line:

         $ perf report -s type,typecln,typeoff -H
         ...
         -    2.67%        struct cfs_rq
            +    1.23%        struct cfs_rq: cache-line 2
            +    0.57%        struct cfs_rq: cache-line 4
            +    0.46%        struct cfs_rq: cache-line 6
            -    0.41%        struct cfs_rq: cache-line 0
                    0.39%        struct cfs_rq +0x14 (h_nr_running)
                    0.02%        struct cfs_rq +0x38 (tasks_timeline.rb_leftmost)

     - When a typedef resolves to a unnamed struct, use the typedef name

     - When a struct has just one basic type field (int, etc), resolve
       the type sort order to the name of the struct, not the type of
       the field

     - Support type folding/unfolding in the data-type annotation TUI

     - Fix bitfields offsets and sizes

     - Initial support for PowerPC, using libcapstone and the usual
       objdump disassembly parsing routines

 - Add support for disassembling and addr2line using the LLVM libraries,
   speeding up those operations

 - Support --addr2line option in 'perf script' as with other tools

 - Intel branch counters (LBR event logging) support, only available in
   recent Intel processors, for instance, the new "brcntr" field can be
   asked from 'perf script' to print the information collected from this
   feature:

     $ perf script -F +brstackinsn,+brcntr

     # Branch counter abbr list:
     # branch-instructions:ppp = A
     # branch-misses = B
     # '-' No event occurs
     # '+' Event occurrences may be lost due to branch counter saturated

 - Support Timed PEBS (Precise Event-Based Sampling), a recent hardware
   feature in Intel processors

 - Add 'perf ftrace profile' subcommand, using ftrace's function-graph
   tracer so that users can see the total, average, max execution time
   as well as the number of invocations easily, for instance:

     $ sudo perf ftrace profile -G __x64_sys_perf_event_open -- \
       perf stat -e cycles -C1 true 2> /dev/null | head
     # Total (us)  Avg (us)  Max (us)  Count  Function

           30.260    30.260    30.260      1  __anon_inode_getfile

           14.012     7.006    11.264      2  obj_cgroup_charge

 - 'perf sched timehist' improvements, including the addition of
   priority showing/filtering command line options

 - Varios improvements to the 'perf probe', including 'perf test'
   regression testings

 - Introduce the 'perf check', initially to check if some feature is
   in place, using it in 'perf test'

 - Various fixes for 32-bit systems

 - Address more leak sanitizer failures

 - Fix memory leaks (LBR, disasm lock ops, etc)

 - More reference counting fixes (branch_info, etc)

 - Constify 'struct perf_tool' parameters to improve code generation
   and reduce the chances of having its internals changed, which isn't
   expected

 - More constifications in various other places

 - Add more build tests, including for JEVENTS

 - Add more 'perf test' entries ('perf record LBR', pipe/inject,
   --setup-filter, 'perf ftrace', 'cgroup sampling', etc)

 - Inject build ids for all entries in a call chain in 'perf inject',
   not just for the main sample

 - Improve the BPF based sample filter, allowing root to setup filters
   in bpffs that then can be used by non-root users

 - Allow filtering by cgroups with the BPF based sample filter

 - Allow a more compact way for 'perf mem report' using the
   -T/--type-profile and also provide a --sort option similar to the one
   in 'perf report', 'perf top', to setup the sort order manually

 - Fix --group behavior in 'perf annotate' when leader has no samples,
   where it was not showing anything even when other events in the group
   had samples

 - Fix spinlock and rwlock accounting in 'perf lock contention'

 - Fix libsubcmd fixdep Makefile dependencies

 - Improve 'perf ftrace' error message when ftrace isn't available

 - Update various Intel JSON vendor event files

 - ARM64 CoreSight hardware tracing infrastructure improvements, mostly
   not visible to users

 - Update power10 JSON events
