Pull performance event updates from Ingo Molnar:

 - Add CPU-PMU support for Intel Sapphire Rapids CPUs

 - Extend the perf ABI with PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT_STRUCT, to offer
   two-parameter sampling event feedback. Not used yet, but is intended
   for Golden Cove CPU-PMU, which can provide both the instruction
   latency and the cache latency information for memory profiling
   events.

 - Remove experimental, default-disabled perfmon-v4 counter_freezing
   support that could only be enabled via a boot option. The hardware is
   hopelessly broken, we'd like to make sure nobody starts relying on
   this, as it would only end in tears.

 - Fix energy/power events on Intel SPR platforms

 - Simplify the uprobes resume_execution() logic

 - Misc smaller fixes.
