Pull arm64 regression fix from Will Deacon:
"Apologies for the _extremely_ late pull request here, but we had a
'perf' (i.e. CPU PMU) regression on the Apple M1 reported on Wednesday
[1] which was introduced by bd27568117 ("perf: Rewrite core context
handling") during the merge window.
Mark and I looked into this and noticed an additional problem caused
by the same patch, where the 'CHAIN' event (used to combine two
adjacent 32-bit counters into a single 64-bit counter) was not being
filtered correctly. Mark posted a series on Thursday [2] which
addresses both of these regressions and I queued it the same day.
The changes are small, self-contained and have been confirmed to fix
the original regression.
Summary:
- Fix 'perf' regression for non-standard CPU PMU hardware (i.e. Apple
M1)"

============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
