[GIT PULL] Performance events updates for v7.4

[Ingo Molnar]

Linus,

Please pull the latest perf/core Git tree from:

   git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip.git perf-core-2026-10-18

for you to fetch changes up to f5a78ecccd98a04c47cea1cd63c2a2fdce8a4b48:

Perf events updates:

 - Support SIMD/eGPRs/SSP register sampling in perf
   (Dapeng Mi, Kan Liang)

 - Turn amd_uncore_ctx events into a flexible array (Rosen Penev)

 - Finish the work related to fixing the guest PEBS path to not
   set unwanted PERF_GLOBAL_CTRL bits, for which urgent fixes
   are upstream already (Sean Christopherson)

 - Drop redundant counter slot searches in the AMD uncore
   driver (Usama Arif)

 - Don't WARN when the ext_regs_buf allocation fails (vineash)

 - Annotate x86_pmu::hybrid_pmu with __counted_by_ptr (Thorsten Blum)

 Thanks,

	Ingo
