Wei Li 4a669e2432 drivers/perf: Add support for ARMv8.3-SPE
Armv8.3 extends the SPE by adding:
- Alignment field in the Events packet, and filtering on this event
  using PMSEVFR_EL1.
- Support for the Scalable Vector Extension (SVE).

The main additions for SVE are:
- Recording the vector length for SVE operations in the Operation Type
  packet. It is not possible to filter on vector length.
- Incomplete predicate and empty predicate fields in the Events packet,
  and filtering on these events using PMSEVFR_EL1.

Update the check of pmsevfr for empty/partial predicated SVE and
alignment event in SPE driver.

Linux kernel
============

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.
