 perf tools changes for v6.0: 1st batch
 
 - Introduce 'perf lock contention' subtool, using new lock contention
   tracepoints and using BPF for in kernel aggregation and then userspace
   processing using the perf tooling infrastructure for resolving symbols, target
   specification, etc.
 
   Since the new lock contention tracepoints don't provide lock names, get up to
   8 stack traces and display the first non-lock function symbol name as a caller:
 
   $ perf lock report -F acquired,contended,avg_wait,wait_total
 
                   Name   acquired  contended     avg wait    total wait
 
    update_blocked_a...         40         40      3.61 us     144.45 us
    kernfs_fop_open+...          5          5      3.64 us      18.18 us
     _nohz_idle_balance          3          3      2.65 us       7.95 us
    tick_do_update_j...          1          1      6.04 us       6.04 us
     ep_scan_ready_list          1          1      3.93 us       3.93 us
 
   Supports the usual 'perf record' + 'perf report' workflow as well as a
   BCC/bpftrace like mode where you start the tool and then press control+C to get
   results:
 
    $ sudo perf lock contention -b
   ^C
    contended   total wait     max wait     avg wait         type   caller
 
           42    192.67 us     13.64 us      4.59 us     spinlock   queue_work_on+0x20
           23     85.54 us     10.28 us      3.72 us     spinlock   worker_thread+0x14a

            2      7.08 us      3.99 us      3.54 us     spinlock   delayed_work_timer_fn+0x1b
            1      6.41 us      6.41 us      6.41 us     spinlock   idle_balance+0xa06
            2      2.50 us      1.83 us      1.25 us        mutex   kernfs_iop_lookup+0x2f
            1      1.71 us      1.71 us      1.71 us        mutex   kernfs_iop_getattr+0x2c
   ...
 
 - Add new 'perf kwork' tool to trace time properties of kernel work (such as
   softirq, and workqueue), uses eBPF skeletons to collect info in kernel space,
   aggregating data that then gets processed by the userspace tool, e.g.:

 - Add support for new AMD IBS (Instruction Based Sampling) features:
 
   With the DataSrc extensions, the source of data can be decoded among:
  - Local L3 or other L1/L2 in CCX.
  - A peer cache in a near CCX.
  - Data returned from DRAM.
  - A peer cache in a far CCX.
  - DRAM address map with "long latency" bit set.
  - Data returned from MMIO/Config/PCI/APIC.
  - Extension Memory (S-Link, GenZ, etc - identified by the CS target
     and/or address map at DF's choice).
  - Peer Agent Memory.

 - Add arch TSC frequency information to perf.data file headers.
 
 - Handle changes in the binutils disassembler function signatures in
   perf, bpftool and bpf_jit_disasm (Acked by the bpftool maintainer).
 
 - Fix building the perf perl binding with the newest gcc in distros such
