perf/urgent fixes:
Core libraries:
Jiri Olsa:
- Fix max perf_event_attr.precise_ip detection.
Kan Liang:
- Fix parser error for uncore event alias
Wei Lin:
- Fixup ordering of kernel maps after obtaining the main kernel map address.
Intel PT:
Adrian Hunter:
- Fix TSC slip where A TSC packet can slip past MTC packets so that the
timestamp appears to go backwards.
- Fixes for exported-sql-viewer GUI conversion to python3.
ARM coresight:
Solomon Tan:
- Fix the build by adding a missing case value for enumeration value introduced
in newer library, that now is the required one.
tool headers:
Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:
- Syncronize kernel headers with the kernel, getting new io_uring and
pidfd_send_signal syscalls so that 'perf trace' can handle them.

perf pmu: Fix parser error for uncore event alias
Perf fails to parse uncore event alias, for example:
# perf stat -e unc_m_clockticks -a --no-merge sleep 1
event syntax error: 'unc_m_clockticks'
\___ parser error
Current code assumes that the event alias is from one specific PMU.
To find the PMU, perf strcmps the PMU name of event alias with the real
PMU name on the system.
However, the uncore event alias may be from multiple PMUs with common
prefix. The PMU name of uncore event alias is the common prefix.
For example, UNC_M_CLOCKTICKS is clock event for iMC, which include 6
PMUs with the same prefix "uncore_imc" on a skylake server.
The real PMU names on the system for iMC are uncore_imc_0 ...
uncore_imc_5.
The strncmp is used to only check the common prefix for uncore event
alias.
With the patch:
# perf stat -e unc_m_clockticks -a --no-merge sleep 1
Performance counter stats for 'system wide':
723,594,722 unc_m_clockticks [uncore_imc_5]
724,001,954 unc_m_clockticks [uncore_imc_3]
724,042,655 unc_m_clockticks [uncore_imc_1]
724,161,001 unc_m_clockticks [uncore_imc_4]
724,293,713 unc_m_clockticks [uncore_imc_2]
724,340,901 unc_m_clockticks [uncore_imc_0]
