Re: [PATCH v4 6/6] perf mem record: Use the IBS swfilt filter when available

[sashiko-bot@kernel.org]

> From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
> 
> IBS events with exclude_{user,kernel} bits, as used for per-thread
> recording when kernel samples are not allowed, are rejected on hardware
> without the privilege filter, so per-thread 'perf mem record' fails on
> AMD:
> 
>   $ perf mem record -o /dev/null -- true
>   Failure to open event 'ibs_op/ldlat=0/u' on PMU 'ibs_op' which will be removed.
> 
> Kernel v6.14 added swfilt, a software privilege filter exposed as the
> 'swfilt' format term, making those events usable per-thread.  Give the
> ibs_op memory events extra tables with the term, selected in
> perf_pmu__arch_init() when the PMU exposes it, keeping the names that
