Starting with Arch Perfmon v5, the anythread filter on generic counters may be deprecated. The current kernel was exporting the any filter without checking. On Icelake, it means you could do cpu/event=0x3c,any/ even though the filter does not exist. This patch corrects the problem by relying on the CPUID 0xa leaf function to determine if anythread is supported or not as described in the Intel SDM Vol3b 18.2.5.1 AnyThread Deprecation section.

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.
