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 v5.18-rc1 after the BRBE related perf ABI changes series
(V5) that was posted earlier.

https://lore.kernel.org/all/20220404045046.634522-2-anshuman.khandual@arm.com/

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()
- Rob's concerns regarding the series structure, arm_pmu callbacks based framework

Changes in RFC V2:

- Added branch_sample_priv() while consolidating other branch sample filter helpers
- Changed all SYS_BRBXXXN_EL1 register definition encodings per Marc
- Changed the BRBE driver as per proposed BRBE related perf ABI changes (V5)
- Added documentation for struct arm_pmu changes, updated commit message
- Updated commit message for BRBE detection infrastructure patch
- PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_KERNEL gets checked during arm event init (outside the driver)
- Branch privilege state capture mechanism has now moved inside the driver

Changes in RFC V1:
